And yet in the Minnesota pri- held in June 248,469 Republican ballots were cast as against 204,735 Farmer-Labor ballots. In_ both the Republican and the Far- pmer-Labor parties there were energetic and rougnly equal contests for the nom- inations for governor and other offices. Therefore, the presumption is that as many third party voters went to these June primaries to vote for Magnus John- son and other Farmer- candidates as will go to the polls in November. If this is a correct d¢ssumption, and there is no reason it should not be, then the plain forecast of these June primar- ies in Minnesota is that the Republi should carry Minnesota as against Follette in November. This forecast, in- herent in the figures of the June pri- maries, is borne out by the judgment of several authorities in Minnesota of di- yerse political complexions, who agree in saying it is doubtful if LaFollette will carry Minnesota in the fall. In short, any clear-minded person would be obliged to predict today, on the basis of facts and figures revealed as recently as the primaries of June 16, that Follette will not carry Minnesota this fall m is possible from sting conditions. And if there is reasonable present doubt of Follette’s carrying Minnesota there must be rather more reasonable doubt of his By Mail Inside State. *-One Year, Daily and Sunday -One Year, Sunday Only Stx Months, Dally and Sunday "Three Months, ly and Sunday t7One Month, Daily and Sunday --.

Tt has to do with an effort to discover a <= piece of senatorial timber superior in quality to Brookhart and one that would attract sufficient admiration through- out the state to win more yotes at the election this fall than Brookhadt is like- ly to poll. The reason for this is that Brookhart captured the regular Repub- lican nomination for United tSates sen- ~~ ator at the primaries by the fault of the “primary law which admits of voting of members of other parties. So when radi- cals and Democrats voted in the Repub- “lican primary the party was officially ~<loaded up with an undesirable who al- * though entitled to wear the Republican *=* party label, does not hold to Republican principles and does not sympathize with the policies of the party nor work for ts interests. The grand idea is to find an upstand- ng lowa citizen who does believe in Re- publicanism and wHo will fare forth and give battle to the interloper.Brookhart and clean him up lock, stock and barrel {to the end that in the session of congress commencing next March, Iowa will be _.

Too long have they borne the disgrace, the slings and ar- rows of outrageous fortune. They should e got after the matter long ago. Throughout the length and breadth of the land, there lives no Re- publican who will not applaud the action of the Iowa Republicans and wish them = success. Brookhart has no more right to rep- “resent Iowa Republicans than the deyil has to represent the Baptist church. And it is time that the Republican party elsewhere than in Iowa, took steps to excommunicate their unfaithful sena- tors and representatives who have de- “S parted from the faith, and grown larger “= than the institution that gave them the only opportunity they ever had to be something. a This year should be open season 6n po- litical traitors.

Political Uncertainties the absence pf any overshadowing termined by the election in it appears that the course of business in the intervening months will be shaped by economic conditions, wi out much interference because of politi- cal uncertainties. On questions directly related to business masthes of the major parties h. taken a position which threatens a drastic change of gover! mental polic And the character of their candidates for the presidency gives add- ed assurance of a continuation of sane ible leadership. h rty’s formal pronouncement a linking of proposals for pro- he welfare of the agricultural population with the question of freight rates. One favors a “readjostment of railroad rate schedules” and the other would “readjust and lower rail and water rates.” These commitments touch upon two outstanding subjects of recent political debate. In this connection, it is significant that the interstate commerce commission has recently declined to reduce railroad freight rates on grain, grain products and hay, and has discontinued proceed- ings to determine the necessity for a re- vision of the grain rate structure. The commission points out that rates on grain and hay are generally on a lower basis with respect to per-war rates than are carload rates on other commodities. The heart of the whole question is Not Interested Evidence multiplies that the McAdoo enthusiasts refuse to be reconciled to the ‘i =~ Davis and Bryan ticket/and that the rad-| reached by the majority of the commis- = ical fringe of the McAdoo convention/sjon in the comment that “there is ser- = support is not remaining about the old! jons doubt whether farmers would not in = family hearthstone but is going else-| many instances lose from impaired rail- s= where. McAdoo, himself, is in Europe,| road service more than the' could pos- ibly gain from a reduction in rates, even if the farmers would get the entire bene- fit of any reduction made.” This decis- ion will hearten those elements in all parties that are resisting unsound schemes for this.or that form of “re- lief.” A successful conclusion of tlie negotia- tions looking to the early functioning of the Dawes plan in the settlement of the reparation account may have in com- ing months a more profound, even if less obvious, effect upon business sentiment in the country than the balance of fear and hope concerning the choice of the yoters in November, resting and recuperating from, the we tear of convention strenuou i His promised support of the Davis ticket which bespoke his followers in the convention, is not materializing, d is not expected to come to much.

The best that can be hoped for from either McAdoo or Al Smith and their ad- herents is inaction during the campaign and lack of interest at election time. n't change the human nature of 9» mob anymore than ige the stripes on a Tammany tiger.

Conditions in other countries, however are by no means so favorable. Reports from Canada point unmistakably to a greatly reduced yield, some estimates in- dicating a decrease ef more than 50 per cent from last year’s total. Forecasts from countries which produced in 1923 about 50 per cent of the world’s output outside of Russia amount to 1,555,000,- 00z bushels as compared with 1.671,000,- 000 bushels produced in the same coun- tries last year. The department of agri- culture has estimated that the wheat crops of the world, excluding Russia, will be ten per cent-smaller than a year ago. It is this marked reduction in the world’s crop which has been reflected in the steady advance of wheat prices in recent weeks. The price range of wheat for July delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade in April was from $1.023g to $1.0744 a bushel. The range for the week ended July 19 was from $1.197% to $1.3014 a bushel. For the week ending July 26, the price reached $1.35 a bushel. The Old Guys A few years ago the advertisements contained pictures of young men in dash- ing clothes who stood on their feet at the head of the table and told their fellow directors, all ancient men with white hair, just how the business should be run. These pictures did not offend the common sense of the public; the public had been schooled in the faith that this country, being young, as a young man’s country—that youth alone can brave the adventure and stand the pace. The ol boys, if they had time and would unbend to answer, would employ an eloquent word of recent invention, to wit, “Blah.” Those who share this high sentiment will be greatly pleased by the belated praise of Ulysses Grant McAlexander new appearing in the public prints —McAlexander whose single — regi- many kept the Germans on the other side of the Marne and in the opinion of en- thusiasts saved Paris. With a name like that he couldn’t have’ done less, but he was 54 and his superiors considered him a little too old for active sérvice. , Well, he knows his stuff, and that is the qualification deyoutely to be desired. Ripe soldiers are not made in a day. Nor are great executives drafted from the senior classes of fresh-water college: The.truth is that the man who has given himself reasonable care is just beginning to come into his own at 50. He has done everything once; his fires are cooled; he 10 longer goes off half-cocked; he has shed the foolish illusions and dangerous enthu ms of youth; he goes about his business soberly, with the skill that long practice alone afford. True, he lacks the dash and pep of youngsters, but these qualities are more nt il in the world of sport than els where.

But he never lets his enthus- jasm run away with his wits, Why Tear Down? Sditors north and south may differ on some polit points, but they think pretty much alike on the LaFollette sit uation. Here is the view of the Memphis Commereail-A pp ow ve no quarrel with progres: We want people to be happy and to have more. We have no objections to many of the thitgs Mr. LaFollette stands for, but we do object to men justifying a lot of things that are hurtful to the people and to the republic by erying out that they are patriots, 1 that they alone, are the best arbiters of the conduct of government and of people. “La Follette is of a school that. ob- jects to everything done unless it is done by themselves, “By and large we are ‘ell pleased with the conduct of the affairs of this republic in all the years of its existence. Our government has not been a failure. Our people have made progress, one gen- eration over the other. At times we have been in a. bad. way, but wise leadership has brought us out of trouble. “After 1870 our people were almost swept off th feet by greenbackism. How rotten this theory was may be shown by what happened when the same theory of finance was adopted by Rus- sia, Poland and Germany, and yet the men who fought for greenbackism were acclaimed as the great patriotic souls and those who fought it were denounced as conspirators against the people. “Look at 1896. There was a wild ery for free silver. The theory and the cause were very attractive. They commanded the support of wild youth and old men who had failed. The men who fought free silver were denounced as minions of Wall Street. Today the suggestion of free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 would shock even Mr. Bryan. Mr. LaFollette would break down and destroy and then he would rebuild. But why break down and destroy? Why destroy the tree in order to kill the pests that may be preventing it from yielding fruit? Why throw all the rail- roads of the United States into the hands of a receiver in ordér that the govern- ment might take them over? Why bol- shevize our courts in order that a judge might be as another Pilate constantly appealing to the crowd, standing by, to decide for him?” Since religion is now definitely out of politics, how would it“do to get some of it into the churches?
