MONDAY, OCTOBER Minnesota Is Politically Conspicuous in Campaign Muddled Mass of National Is- sues Coming Into Play in Hectic Fight Hoover and Smith Party Lead- ers Vie in Proclaiming Each Victorious BY BYRON PRICE (Associated Press Staff Writer) St. Paul, Minn, Oct. 8—(AP)— It is a strange mixture of political aspirations, some of them the com- mon heritage of the whole north- west, whicl. has drawn Minnesota into @ conspicuous ot RAS the politi- cal extravaganza o . ‘ Farm relief, prohibition, the tariff, the St. Lawrence waterway, and the and religious characteristics large foreign population all are coming into py, in making up the decision .f Nov. 6, ; What that decision will be still is disputed in these kegs te! of Octo- ber. By tradition Minnesota’s 12 electoral votes should belong in the Republican column, and the Repub- lican leaders declare that within the past two weeks they have seen the tide setting in steadily toward Hoov- er. This assertion is contradicted by the Democrats, who say Gov. Smith’s visit her: gave impetus to his campaign, and who are claiming better than an even chance to pry the state away from its long-estab- lished Republican anchorage, The farm question has been the principal lever of the Smith men, and in public discussion this issue has Ha Silat every other. The Republicans have taken up the chal- lenge of their opponents, and are presenting Mr. Hoover to the voters as better qualified than Gov. Smith to deal with the problems of ay culture. The Democrats are claim- ing wholesale Republican defections among the farmers, but the Hoover people pronounce these claims great- y exaggerated. arty Lineup Delayed The bulk of Minnesota’s delegation to Kansas City was for Lowden and the McNary ‘'augen bill. Afterward, there was a period of uncertainty and delay before the Hoover lines in the state were definitely drawn. Senator Schall, a Republican, at first said he could not actively sup- port Hoover, but later he announced that he would do so. Two of the best-known farm leaders in the state, both Republicans, took the stump againrt the Republican Na- tional ticket. = One was Frank W. Murphy, legis- lative representative of the corn belt committee, who resigned as presi- dent of the state farm bureau feder- ation and now is head of th “Min- nesota all-party Smith-Robinson clubs.” Minnesota’s farm population is predominantly of foreign descent, and here ‘he farm issue crosses with prohibition and religion. The larg- est group is German, rated wet, and the next two groups in point of size are the Swedes and the Norwegians, rated dry. Thousands of ‘all three Nationalities are members of the Lutheran church, and there is among _ them all much talk of the religious issue. The tariff is strongly urged by the Republicans as an aid to the| farmer, and there is widespread in- terest, particularly in northern Wis- consin, in the St. Lawrence water- Political Background Such is the jumble of elements which make up the high lights of the picture,—a picture which is bet- ter understood when it is examined against the background of the re- cent political history of the north- west. Thoughout this whole region, for one reason or another, the voters have been dividing along lines other than the old accepted party lines. The Dakotas have had their battles over the Nonpartisan League. In Wisconsin the La Follette offshoot dominated the whole political field for years. In Minnesota, the Farm- er-Labor party rose to a strength which has permitted it to debate seriously for state control. These various movements have not followed parallel lines in all respects, but they all are illustrative of the tendency toward a breaking down of the. ordinary party distinctions. What the Democrats hope to do this year is to extend this shifting about of party allegiances to the National ticket, on a males scale. Itself greatly outnumbered, the Democrat- REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF - THE FIRST GUARANTY BANK the State of North Dakota, at the close of business on October 3, 1928 RESOU: at Bismarck in Loans and discounts .

Party Chiefs Worried Some Republicans have shown frank concern over the situation, and even as late as last week Senator Schall told party chiefs in Washing- ton that the situation in the state needed watching. bs In the past there have been few states so loyally Republican as Min- nesota. Her record for keeping out of the Democratic column is exactly as perfect as Pennsylvania’s even in the Republican split of 1912, Wilson did not get the Minnesota electoral votes. They went to Roosevelt. Four years later, when Wilson swept the west, Minnesota went Republi- can, though it w:s by_a margin of less than 400 votes. Harding took the state in 1920 by 519,000, and in 1924, when the Farmer-Labor party endorsed Ua Follette, Coolidge had a majority of more than 25,000 over the combined vote for La Follette and Davis. The figures were: Cool- idge 420,759, La Follette 339,192, Davis 55,913. Support Ill-defined The extent of the Farmer-Labor support of Smith in Minnesota has not been definitely defined. The state’s Farmer-Labor senator, Hen- rik Shipstead, a candidate for re- election, has endorsed neither Hoov- er nor Smith, but he has been mak- ing speeches ettacking the Republi- can policies at Washington. The Democratic nominee for senator re- cently announced his withdrawal, whereupon the Democratic state chairman said in a fae statement that the development rently in- sured the election of Shipstead over ‘is Republican opponent, Arthur E.
