Some leaders think it would be
better for the Congressional can
didates not to be forced into taking
sides in the Wallaee-Byrnes fight
Some Republican party leaders
are anticipating an interesting
struggle in the 1947 Legislature for
the lob Of president pro TEN of
the state senate. Reason for the
keen interest is the possibility that
C. Elmer Anderson, il reelected
lieutenant governor, will accept APP
pointment to some top administra-
tive position. In that event, the
president pro TEN becomes lieuten-
ant governor. Senators reported to
be ready to do battle for the pro
tenn spot are Anchor Nelson, Hut
crimson; Donald Wright, Mime
apolis; Oscar SwensOn, Nicollet;
and A. o. SletvOld, Detroit Lakes.
These four, Of course, must first
hurdle reelection. SletvOld faces
a close race with Barney Allen and
Wright is reported to be a bit
worried about the unOrthodoX cam
paign of his opponent, Perley Nc
Bride, who is running on a NUM-
cipalize-the-liquor-industry plat
form.
1t is becoming clear that the key
to Harold Stassen's future as a
Presidential nominee is held by
Governor Tom Dewey. Still a pO-
tent force in the COP national or
ganization, Dewey, if he stepped
out of the 1913 contest, could swing
the nomination to either Taft of
Ohio or Stassen. Reports from the
East indicate that Dewey will be
very much in the picture for him
self in '48, but that as between Taft
and Stassen he appears to favor
Taft.
In a poll taken among Minnesota
lawyers to indorse candidates for
the state supreme court, Associate
Justice Julius J. Olson led the field.
Frank T. Gallagher, Waseca, was
second, followed by William c.

from both the NAFTALIN
DFL and COP camps, and the top
contenders of both tickets are
speaking frequently over the state.
But the campaign has as yet pro
duced no clear-cut issues that strike
deeply into the states political con-
seriousness.
In the Republican camp, opti-
mism reigns supreme. The latest
report of the Minneapolis Tribune's
Minnesota Poll gives Governor Thye
and Luther Youngdahl wide mar
gins over their respective DFL OPP
ponents for the Senatorial and
Gubernatorial posts. In the Sena-
torial race, SO per cent of the vot-
ers questioned said they would vote
for Thye, 10 per cent for Theodore
Jorgenson, the DFL candidate. For
Governor, SO per cent favored COP
Luther Youngdahl and l6 per cent
Harold Barker.
Some observers attach signifi-
canoe to the fact that Youngdahl
is assiduOusly campaigning the en-
tire state, despite his apparently
strong advantage.
They are saying that Youngdahl
is preparing the way for 1913 when
he will oppose Joseph H. Ball for
the COP nomination for the U. S.
Senate. Last July this column re-
ported that politicians were taking
the prospect of a Youngdahl-Ball
clash in l948 seriously. Last week
the report was confirmed by no less
an authority than Joe Ball him
self. Thus, this column scored a
ws-beat-not by days, not by
weeks, but by months.
On the DFL side, Harold Barker
is courageously riding out a cam
paign that has been beset by no
end Of difficulties. The latest prob
lem to harass Barker is an intra-
party squabble over finances. Form
err Governor Elmer Benson attacked
Stephen Harrington, national Dem
ocratic finance officer for Mime
sofa, for handling funds in a mat
ter detrimental to the party's in
tegrity." Harrington struck back
by accusing unauthorized persons
Of making collections of funds in
behalf Of the party and that the
arrangements about which Benson
complained were made for the pur-
pose Of eliminating unauthorized
collections.
Meanwhile, Barker is going ahead
with his plans for a keynote ad-
dress in Mankato, Oct. 81. Jorgen-
son continues to hit hard on in
ternational issues, consistently be-
rating American and British for
eign policy. Plans are under way
to bring both former Secretary Of
Commerce Henry Wallace and Sen
ator Claude Pepper into Minnesota
to speak on behalf of the ticket.
These plans have not met with un-
mixed enthusiasm within the DFL.

There are many ways in which

the most perilous peacetime

Probably the most important and
essential duty citizens can per-

aggressive part in settling or sol
wing them This can be done by
voting when such questions are
submitted for determination at
the polls by the people. When
scuh questions or problems are
to be decided by public officials.
citizens should let such public
officials know their views and
opinions; and, where necessary
apply little pressure.
This could be done most effect
lively by citizens coming together
