SHIPSTEAD, BY TOWNLEY FORGOVERNOR and Was Given Sec- ond Position WOMAN ENDORSED FOR STATE TREASURER Chairman Vollum Endorsed for . Office of Secretary of State St. Paul, March 26.—Dr. Henrik Shipstead, dentist and poet of Glen- ‘wood, has been picked by A. C. Town- ley and agreed to by William Maho- ney as the Nonpartisan league and labor candidate for governor at the republican primaries in Minnesota June 21. Because labor was not strong for ‘Shipstead, the laborites were .given second place on the ticket, George Mallon, secretary of the Building Trades council-in' Minneapolis :being nominated by the two bodies as ¢an- didate for lieutenant governor. The Townley league then proceed- ed yesterday to name virtually a com- plete ticket but ran into more diffi- culties with labor. Representative George Siegel was the Townley favor- ite for attorney general. Thomas Sullivan, former candidate for that office on the league ticket, was Ma- honey’s favorite. Mahoney was in- debted to him for support, in the re- cent city primary. Mrs. A. R. Colvin for Treasurer. ~ As a sop to'the feminine vote, Mrs. Alexander R. Colvin of St. Paul, suf- frage picketer and hunger *striker, was ‘fndoried . for ‘state trensiarer .by the Townley league.. Indorsement of her candidacy had not been reached by labor ranks when the Mahoney league adjourned at noon to have their pictures taken. Thomas Vollum presided at the Tawinley convention, and of course thad to be recognized by that body. Accordingly he was endorsed for sec- retary of state. His name had been mentioned for governor, but he did not get very far with Mr. Townley. ] 'P. 1. D. Ostby of Freeborn county was nominated by the Townley con- vention for railroad and ' warehouse commissioner. § No action was taken,by Townley on candidates for Supreme court, Justice, and congressional candidates had not been named when a recess was taken at noon. Candidates for congress will be chosen at distriet caucuses, REVOLT AGAINST PARTY LEADERSHIP BY THE PRESIDENT FORMING Democratic Repr.esénhtives are Wroth Over His Silence On His Intention By Herbert ‘Walker (United Press Correspondent) Washington, March 26.—Revoit against party leadership of President Wilson is forming rapidly among House democrats as the result of his continued silence on the question of a third term. A canvass of prominent congress democrats showed today dis- satisfaction is apparently rampant among democrats because the repub- lican presidential candidatee are com- ducting lively booms, while the democratic campaign plans remain in a state of uncertainty, due to silence at the White House. It was learned today that the speech of Representative Humphries in the House yesterday, demanded that Wilson immediately announce - that he will not seek reelection, was engineered by democratic leaders. Only three democratic leaders and only three other democrats criticized Humphries’ speech.
