William Lemke that he would be a candidate for president on the Union ticket. The telegram received by the Trib- une from Lemke late Friday after- noon read: “I have accepted the chal- lenge of the reactionary elements of [both of the old parties and will run for president of the United States on the Union party platform in accord- ance with thousands of messages and requests I have received from over the nation.” Thus is answered the question which has been uppermost in the minds of many North Dakota politicians as to the presidential candidate Lemke would favor. It has long been obvious that he could not support Roosevelt again, as he did in 1932; equally obvious that he could not, without manifest straining, put himself back in the Republican fold. * Se % A Mixed Sentiment North Dakota never before has had & presidential candidate and possibly it should be proud of the fact, but the announcement will doubtless bring @ mixture of emotions. There are many in this state who do not personally agree with Lemke. Many such admire him as an indi- vidual but they do not see eye to eye with him on policies. These will be against him for president just as much as they have opposed him for other offices in the past. eee w, Mr. and| What Are the Chances? Chief interest, however, will center elected. To most persons the thing will seem completely fantastic, yet the chances are slightly better than one in a thousand. They would be greatly improved if the character of the sup- port which he will have were more dependable, for the situation just now is such that anything can happen in national politics. The fact that Lemke will be the candidate of a considerable number of people alone is enough to Prove this. Whether or not the Union platform will constitute a real third party threat cannot now be determined but have the support of such popular leaders as Dr. Townsend, Father Coughlin and the remnants of Huey Long's ‘“‘share-the-wealth” crowd he may poll a surprising number of votes. thinking of many people and their support will be effective. These are the assets which Lemke has in the forthcoming campaign. His handicaps, however, seem in- surmountable. First of all, there is the lack of a definite organization. Dr. Coughlin has the faculty of convincing people iwhile they are listening to him but after they get away from the spell of his golden tongue they are apt to jbackslide a little. The same may jtruthfully be said of Townsend's fol- lowers and the share the wealthers, | Dut of these the Townsendites are apt to be the most steadfast in action. Another important factor is the gen- jeral belief that a third party has chance.

This will|A Legislative Excuse FOUNDING OF DAKOTA TERRI ry in: various parts of Eccentric , DENNY HANNAFIN “Eccentric Denny” Hannafin was @ gambler and saloon-keeper when Bismarck was experiencing her first growing pains. He came here in 1872 and established a saloon on Fourth St. In 1873, with a wagon-load of lumber, a rifle, and two compan- jons, Hannafin crossed the Mis- souri river to explore the Indian- infested country to the west. Not very far from the present town of Sims, Hannafin discovered a 3-foot vein of coal, and built a fort. nearby which he called Fort Han- nafin. Believing that the coal beds in that vicinity would some day be valuable, Hannafin staked out a claim to 600 acres, and filed a de- scription of the claim at Wash- ington. . Although he was a notorious gambler, “Eccentric Denny” con- fined his drinking to coffee, great quantities of which he was in the habit of consuming at the many church suppers he patronized. “The Squatter Governor” was one of Hannafin’s nicknames. It was the title which he held dur- ing several sessions of the legisla- ture when the “third house,” the organization of legislative em- ployes’ elected him their honorary chief. Hannafin street is named for him. |more political kinship with him than with any of the other candidates. * * % | What of His Present Job Meanwhile, until Lemke clarifies ;Speculation about what Lemke will do with regard to his position as con- gressman.

The question of whether or not he ;can run for two offices at the same jtime will be raised and this column jis no authority on the subject but the probability is that he can. Others have done it and it is an old political custom to run for an office, other than that already held, while still safely ensconced. It was thus that |Senators LaFollette and Wheeler con- stituted an independent third party ‘ticket in 1924 and still held their | places in the senate despite their over- * * % It may be unfair to suggest it, but e fact is that acceptance by Lemke th of the Union Party’s nomination may be a way out of a@ distasteful situa- tion. In common with other congressmen he has shown a distaste to get into political fights which do not directly concern him. It isn’t always easy to pick the winning side and congress- men have a natural desire to retain their lucrative and influential posi- tions. What could be sweeter than for Lemke to make a national campaign and have legitimate excuse for ignor- ing the strife back home. A man can be so busy in a large field that he has no time to spend in a smaller one. * % *® The Campaign’s Tenor The tenor of Lemke’s campaign is indicated by his past utterances. In his weekly news letter of June 17, a copy of which came to hand earlier iii the week, he lambasts both old probability is that he will be retired | parties with equal impartiality, For example, early in the letter, we find this: “Both these parties ganged up on old age pension legislation. They were very much concerned about the nickels and pennies contributed for the cause of old-age compensation. They were not at all concerned about the six million dollars the Republi- cans invested in the last presidential election only to lose it, nor were they concerned about the seven million the Democrats invested in that election to win it.” And so on down through the field ot veterans affairs, agriculture and other matters. His parting shot, aimed at both old parties, is: “Let the money changers beware.” * % % There's an Election Wednesday But even this pseudo-spectacular development cannot overshadow the fact that a statewide primary elec- tion will be held Wednesday. The orators and workers of both parties are now running down the stretch. Contrary to past experience with campaigns involving some of the same individuals it has been a quiet affair. Sentiment, as near as can be ascertained by impartial observers, is mixed. That Governor Walter Welford has made rapid progress in winning the respect and confidence of the people is admitted on every hand. Whether he has made enough is the question. Some of his supporters are pre- dicting that he will win the G. O. P. gubernatorial nomination: by 40,000 SPECIAL Sunday Dinner featuring THE SEASON'S FINEST FOODS You're sure to enjoy eating here.

To a less optimistic soul this seems out of the question. Whoever wins, the election will be closer than that. Most Republicans say there will be about the same number of Democratic votes cast as at the last election but the Democrats say different. . The latter party, too, has its troubles.,All the odds favor the nom- ination of John Moses of Hazen for the governorship but even here there may be a surprise. Ole H. Olson, his opponent, ranks well with the farm- ers and has been getting good crowds. He has some effective support even if it is not noisy. Political crowds throughout the state generally have been passive. This may or may not be an indication of lack of interest. The best guess is that it is not, for there is nothing to show that North Dakotans are less politically minded this year than in the past. The best guess is that there will be approximately 250,000 votes cast at the election. This will be just short of the 255,000 cast at the fall election two years ago which consti- tuted an all-time record for this state.
