Twice Nation’s Gain “An actual gain of $88,000.000 cash or 29.5 per cent was made this year over the first half of 1935. This gain is nearly twice the percentage of the nation’s increase of 15 per cent. “The gain in Minnesota was 26 per THIS TIME they all agreed!

South Dakota's livestock cash, $32,- 000,000 is three times her-crop money of $9,700,000. Montana livestock brings this year $15,000,000 and crops $9,- 000,000. Gale Cripples Boats Off California Coast San Frangisco, Aug. 18—(#)—Two fishing boats were crippled by a gale off the lower California coast Tues- day, the radio of one of them becom- ing ominously silent after two frantic SOS calls. Mackay radio reported the Enter- prise, grounded off Tosco Point, south of Magdalena bay, had not been heard since she wirelessed at 5:10 a. m., CST: “Afraid can’t stay with it much The second ship, the Magellan, lost her rudder and both anchors in the storm. ~ She-asked-that nearby craft stand by but did not send out an 808.

In 1932 Roosevelt carried the state by a plurality of 236,847—600,806 to 363,959 for Hoover. Since then there has been & considerable defection from Roose- velt, intensified lately by the illness of Olgon and the invasion of Lemke and Coughlin—as well as Townsend. Lemke as Landon Peril From a very keen observer in Minneapolis, who spends his time over the whole state, I got this gen- eral line-up of conditions: “I'd say that Lemke will pull around 50,000 votes in Minnesota— mostly from the northwest drouth sections and from Duluth und this city. But I have a feeling that he'll draw more from Landon than from Roosevelt, because most of his votes will come from anti-Roosevelt folks. And the same will be true for Town- send. The Doc has a big following here in Minnesota, but most of them are old Republicans, and if they are influenced by the Doc's personal bit- terness against Roosevelt and vote for either Lemke: or Landon, it will be pretty much because they feel that way themselves. Despite all this turn {against Roosevelt, I can’t help but believe that the president will still carry the state by more than 100,000.” From a second shrewd and season- ed old hand I got this surmise: “People here in radical Minnesota are not moing to chase after butterflies when it comes to a national election. Third party protests only do well when elections are not close. This time they will want to make their vote count. If they’re bitter against Roosevelt, they'll sock in a vote for Landon. If they're simply critical and want more, they'll stick to Roosevelt Magellan. —and it won't matter whether they are supposed to be for Lemke or Ae 4a drugs Twe ve ie om Pf Cf, $10, 1 name AT LID Bi apg Se Capitol Cut Rate rg Inc. Fifth at Main Phone 247 Coughlin or Townsend.” An experienced political writer, ‘who gets around a good deal, lined it up this way: “Olson’s leaving the political picture will probably mean the end of his Farmer-Labor party. After all, it never did have any real national significance except in the minds of a few intellectual radicals here. The leaders were realistic and built up @ strong machine within the state—and they wouldn’t sacrifice an alderman or a state representative for the fantastic promise of a na- tional organization... . Minnesota will be close, but I think Roosevelt has the edge.” LaFollettes Back F. D. R. To a@ lesser degree much the same can be said about the LaFoliette Pro- gressive organization in: Wisconsin. But this organization was injected definitely into the national arena— when the senior Bob ran for presi- dent in 1924. Both Senator Bob junior and Governor Phil are strong for Improvements Your Community Needs not use Federal Relief Funds to replace old, unsightly curbs and gutters with concrete.

He doesn’t need to play with local politicians.” I went to one of these “little fel- lows” to find out what he thought. “Wisconsin. pastures, ruined much of their corn and materially lowered their milk in- ” he explained. “But their cost of living and operating their farms keeps right on up. It makes them think hard—but most of them will still vote for Roosevelt.” Drouth Significance Some 25 or 30 miles north of Mad- ison I stopped in to see Henry Grub, “master farmer.” It was a Sunday morning and hot as blazes, and Henry, shirtless and sockless, met me in his living room. “I reckon that most farmers around here who voted for Roosevelt in 1932 will vote for him again,” the very capable and hard-headed Henry explained slowly. “He has made’ mistakes—but who wouldn’t have? We did pretty well under the AAA and this erosion and conservation program is helping us right now. . . Lemke or Townsend won’t pull many votes from Roosevelt in this state. I’m a Roosevelt Re- publican—and I don’t see any reason. to change back. But around here we're thinking a good deal more about the drouth than we are about politics.” In normal times, politics is food and drink to the opinion-airing mid- westerner. But when out of the dark and heavy-laden sky roll earth- blanketing clouds of dust, the voting booth is obscured in men’s thoughts by the imminence of natural tragedy. I found this true over all the west- ern middle west. But, bette ee fabs scourge of nature has a polil nificance; it has raraeiboed the na man relief side of the aoe iad tion in the most severely hi poorer sections—and the anes “hel the whole federal government ha in the long-pull problems of farmers everywhere. The fact that much farm relief may be branded by skeptics as subtle vote-buying makes no particular impression on the hun- gry and broken recipient. Even in the minds of wise and ex- perienced men a feeling of concern that almost borders on despair be- gins to creep in when a drouth comes. There is something deeply pessimistic and melancholy about rich green pastures burned brown and worthless in such abundant lands as these mid-western states. Tomorrow: Illinois and Indiana look almost certain for Roosevelt.
