Sev: jeral clubs, co-operatives, worke; cieties and trade union locals were represented. In all about 100 dele-} gates were present. Delegate Forley, from Hibbing made the nominating speech for Carss, in which he urged that the convention indorse Carss for reelection -because of his “record” in congress. Sam Bloomberg, member of the Central Political Farmer-Labor com- mittee, of Duluth, delivered one of | the best talks that has ever been heard in this neck of the woods on what a real Farmer-Labor party should be and the kind of representatives that they should elect. He attacked Carss’ | record and said that any republican | and democrat would have done as} much as Carss had done and perhaps more. He flayed Carss for not fight- ing for the recognition of the Soviet Union, for not fighting to save Sacco and Vanzetti, for not even trying to help the miners in their struggle;.and he reminded the delegates that this Carss is the same Carss that voted to unseat Victor Berger. Comrade Bloomberg, amid great applause, placed the nomination of Comrade J, W. Anderson of Cherry, and almost unanimously Anderson was indorsed and Carss thrown over- board. Bill W. Watkins, running against | the renegade Shipstead, addressed the conyention -and the sentiment was | very much in favor of him as well as | Ernest Lundeen who is running’ against the machine candidate, Dr. Fridche, for governor on the Farmer- Labor ticket.
