Magnus Jghnson’s victory in Minnesota has had the usual reflex action in neighboring states to the east espe-! cially Mlinois. Governor Small is seeking a renomination on much the same kind of a platform which set the Minne- sota prairies afire last July. Former Mayor Thompson of Chicago has joined him in a clarion call for the farmers and nembers of organized labor to join forces in that state in the 1924 elections. In Minnesota the head and front of the farmer-labor combine are former democrats who rebelled against the | stand-pat tendencies of the old regime built up in the hal- cyon days of John A. Johnson and Hammond. leaders are dead and their old henchmen have lost control over the rank and file and such men as Fred Pike, formerly an ardent Bryan democrat; his friend James Bennet of St. another admirer of the great Commoner and J. J. Rei- Now these} some of the leading spirits in the Minnesota movement. Gilbert and Randall of nonpartisan league memory are rather of than in the movement. It has seemed necessary to allow seats at least to a few leaders of the old Townley ring. >or purposes of harmony also, some recognition has been nade to the Van Lear faction in the Twin Cities, but the ‘ural farmer-labor leaders are chafing against the Twin City-Duluth labor pressure and when the saturation point; s reached, no one can tell how long labor and the farmer | will stand hitched because the union is incompatible from | an economic standpoint. Probably Len Small and William Hale Thompson’s drive to secure a similar organization in Illinois is a little pre- mature. Minnesota farm-labor adherents are trying tu eliminate Townley and some of the other undesirables while Fred Pike not unknown to North Dakotans is seeking | to conciliate all elements so as to present a united front in 1924, Recently the New York Times, an independent news- paper with strong democratic leanings, took occasion to classify by politics the leaders in the various farm organ- izations that have been clamoring loudest for price subsidies through congressional action. This newspaper made the discovery that most of them were affiliated with the dem-!' ocratic party, some of them in fact very prominent in party politics. Is it not possible that the democrats are seeking to, 2apitalizeé some of the unrest by urging upon republicans very impossible nostrums? The Illinois republicans and republicans generally can de on their guard as 1924 approaches. This is the season when political traps are set, but the present occupant of she White House is moving slowly and properly so.

If the burdocks were cut down where would Pee Wee Lund be? “What shall we do?” cried King Snookums. what shall we do, indeed!” repeated Mister Codger.
