Two im- portant factors has prompted Mr. Shipstead to pursue the course he is now taking. First and foremost, the important factor is that he found a great unrest and dissatisfaction with our present government in Washing- ton is existing and is deeply rooted amongst a large portion of the voters of Minnesota. His henchmen after surveying the sentiment of Minnesota found that the percentage of farmers and laborites are for a strong inde- pendent. Farmer-Labor Party particu- larly at this time. That is, if that sentiment is properly crystallized, the entire corrupt state administration in- cluding Mr. Shipstead will be swept out of existence. They also found a constructive body of representatives of the Farmer-Labor Party who are organizing around very loyal and cap- | able leadership such as Watkins Lundeen.and others and if not stopped ab-once, they: will become the dom- inating leadership for the Minnesota | Farmer-Labor Party. Therefore, im- mediate action must be taken before | the tiew leadership has a chance to et their -message before the eager steners and the revolting mass of | the ‘State of Minnesota. | To Save His Face. The other factor which prevented Shipstead from throwing off his und openly declaring himself < of the republican party. so loyally served during time in Washington, is because of state law demanding of each candi-| date filing for office to admit his al- | legiance and support of the repub. | lican party. Of course, Mr. Shipsteac knows too well the sentiment of the | farmer-laborites and their sympathiz- }ers towards the besmirched corrun | republican oil party of Washington | He knows that by announcing his ca» didacy on the republican ticket bh thereby admits that he is part anc | parcel of our most scandalous na | tional administration. So to save hi | face he is compelled to announce hi | candidacy on the Farmer-Labor ticket One has only to read the comment:« in the capitalist press of the state o Mimnesota which were issued on th day of his filing, to see the rejoicing | of the press. The Minneapolis Journal editorially congratulates him on his loyal record during his past adminis- tration to the republican party and Shipstead. How long is it necessary to be fooled before the workers and farmers of America will realize that men of Shipstead’s calibre with’ his past ree cannot be entrusted with the destinies of their class? The Farmer-Labor Party must not only be a name but a reality and their repre- sentatives must likewise be men of the toiling class or having a record of many years of service to their class. In this critical period of American history with five million unemplo}‘ed; with danger of another war; with the imperialistic invasion of Nicaragua and China and other countries and with the great upheaval of the work- ers in the basie industries and the cutting of wages from day to day which has compelled hundreds of thousands to strike against this bru- tality of the master class; the work- ers and farmers of America must or- ganize into a national body and nom- inate representatives from their midst to fight against the onslaught of the ruling class. The conditions have, never been more appropriate, the sentiment more intense, the will for freedom from the exploiting class so vast. There is a well-trained constructive leader- ship in the leadership of the left ele- ment in the trade -union; as well as in the political party of farmer-labor- ites and the Workers (Communist) Party of America.
