Lively Fights Seen
Al DFL Convention
In Minnesota TODAY

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 81
Lively fights over Craftsmanship OF
the Minnesota Democratic Farm
er Labor Party and over indorse-
ment of a candidate for Governor
are in prospect today as the
party's two-day convention opens.
Challenging Chairman Karl
Rolvaag. who has the support of
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey,
Democrat, of Minnesota, is Law
renee Merthan, a st. Paul attor-
ney. Mr.. Merthan has criticized
what he claims is "closed control
over the party by those in key
positions now.
Expected to support Mr.. Mer-
than is Ed Ryan, sheriff of Henne-
pin County (Minneapolis), who
has announced he is a candidate
for nomination as Governor. Mr..
Ryan has called the top DFL lead
ers "self-styled kingmakers," and
he has taken a stand against in
dorsement by convention delegates
of any candidate for the post.
-Orville Freeman, former party
chairman and q close friend of
Senator Humphrey. has also an
nounced he will seek the nomina-
ton for Governor. Mr.. Freeman
has not committed himself on the
Endorsement question.
The convention will also name
three delegates to the National
Democratic Convention to fill out
the total Of rs to which the State
is entitled. Senator Humphrey
easily picked up the other % in
the March Is Minnesota presiden-
tial primary.
At that time, he said he was
running as "favorite son" and
planned to turn over his delega-
tion to another candidate at the
convention. Although he has moi
f1atly said so, there have been
recent indications in DFL party
circles that Senator Humphrey will
be a serious candidate for Presi-
dent.
The three delegates to be picked
in this week-end's convention will
be pledged to Senator Humphrey
automatically. as provided by the
