Nonpartisans steam-rolled Lemke and his followers in the convention by renominating for governor, A. G. Sorlie, who is declared by the radicals to be a moderationist who “entered league ranks through the back door” of the I. V. A. or Conservative Re- publican organization.

MeCarten Pointed out, however, that since the convention had decided to nominate only candidates to run in the Repub- lican column, he could not permit his name to go hefore the convention and that he would support Nye. Hamilton announced that Demo- |erats would make an effort to reo: ganize their party as a militant fi tor in the state political situatien, and would nominate McCarten for the senate. A resolution was passed ask- ing MeCarten to become a Democratic candidate so that the league could support ‘him if Nye were defeated at the primary. Strength Lies With People In an analysis of the political situ- ation prior to Sorlie’s nomination, J. A.
