Maybe it won't have much effect—I'm over 80 years old now, but I know Minnesota. The Democrats don't count at all. The whole fight lies between the Farmer-Labor party and the Repub- licans—and I tell you the Republi- cans need to get a scare, or we are going to lose the State. “Just look how unreasonable is the tie-up between the farmers who want na- {low freight rates on their crops and the laboring men—the railroad men especially—who want high wages. Both know that if freight rates are reduced, as the farmers demand, the companies can't pay high wages, and if the wages are kept up the rates can't be reduced. Yet they tie up to- gether! Nobody can tell a thing about how the election is coming out. It's a ‘hoss race!’” Admits Danger to G. 0. P. The writer was “glven a lift” upon a suburban street of Minneapolis by a talkative driver of a delivery car, who sald: “Politics? No, I don’t pay much at- tention to politics, since the ‘bolshi- veeky' have got control. I call 'em ‘bolshiveeky,’ but that man La Fol- lette is a smart man. He's going to carry Minnesota and Wisconsin and both of ‘the Dakotas. Maybe he'll carry lowa, too. That is what I'm told.” J. Meyers, the war mayor of Minneapolis, who is now retired from business, if not from politics, reiter- ated the warning of Gov. Van San ‘Over confidence of the Republ cans is endangering the State. There is a great spirit of unrest amongst the masses. They feel that the banks and all the newspapers and the po- litical bosses are out of sympathy with their interests. They beat Gov. Preus for the Senate by nearly 100, 000, and elected Magnus Johnson. They might re-elect Johnson, but Representative Schall is making a game fight, and is backed by the en- tire Coolidge organization. Schall is strong for Coolidge and Coolidge is backing Schall. “Schall knows a lot more about national politics than Johnson does, and he is making a great campaign. His wife is helping him—clever little woman and as good a politician as ‘Tom is. “When Tom Schall is going to ad- dress a labor meeting he puts on a flannel shirt and little wife guides him upon the stand and places him in the right spot, where he can speak and chew tobacco and spit, and he goes to it. Blindness Is Asset. “His total blindness is a great as- set fn a campaign and he gets the sympathy of the crowd immediately because of it. Then he sails in with his facts and arguments—and he is posted. He is witty and a lot quicker than Magnus Johnson is. He is a university graduate and a lawyer, and can talk all around Magnus, the farmer. “The funny thing about it is that Blind Tom has the radicals as well as the support of the business men and banks. There are a lot of Jews and Poles in his old district, and they are all for Tom. I guess he will beat Mag- nus and be our next Senator. Magnus may beat him with a certain class of farmers, but most of Schall's old district covered farmers, and he has considera- ble farm support there, to “Perhaps Johnson owes own elec- tion for the short term to the course of Gov. Preus, when Preus was candidate for the Senate and called the special election. Why, I know one of the most prominent district judges in Minnesota who supported Magnus Johnson rather than Preus, because Gov. Preus was not willing to appoint a dummy Senator to fill out the late Senator Knute Nelson's term, and then wait for the regular long term for his own candidacy. But Preus thought he controlled the situa- tion, and there is Where he fell down.

Owen, editor of a farm paper, which was once the leading Northwestern exponent of Popullsm and Bryanism, I learned that times have beens “as hard in Minnesota the last year or two, as they were in 1893."" This statement was modified with the reservation that nen-employment of working men has not been so bad as in 1893, but farm conditions and farm pul lishing conditions have been ‘terrible.” ‘What does that comparison signify? In 1893 farm crops were left to rot in the ground because the market price would not pay for harvesting.

NEW YORK, September 27.—Elliot €. Bacon, a partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., died tonight of cere- Dbral embolism. He was a son of Robert L.

Our illustrious statesmer are miss- ing a great issue. The Knickers are driving out the trousers. ‘There should be either a knicker or & ?trouser plank in cvery platform. The farmers were told by Mr. Owen's paper then that if Mr. Bryan were elect- ed on the platform of “16 to 1” the 40- cent wheat would bring 80 cents, for there would be twice as many dollars. And now another Bryan comes out from the West, just when “times have been as bad as in 1893.” However, Minnesota no longer de- pends on wheat, but upon hens and cows. The hens lay $50,000,000 of golden eggs a year, but Minnesota's chief crop is butter. In 1893, while food was rotting upon the farms, workingmen and their families were starving in the cities or were living on food from public soup houses. That was the heyday of Bryan I, whom Mr. Owens' paper enthusiastically supported, and per- haps the coming of Bryan II gave the psychology to the comparison with the period of the birth of the Bryan dynasty. At all events, “as bad as in 1883 was a thrilling simile to one who had seen conditions of 1893 in Minnesota, both among discouraged farmers and starving city laboripg men.

Correspondent banks report that deposits have passed all pre- vious records except in the height of war inflation. John R. Mitchell, Federal Reserve Bank governor in this Federal re- serve district, estimates that farm- ers will receive this year $369,000,000 more for their products than they did in 1923—$1,020,636,000 in 1924, as against $651,692,000 in 1923. “This large increase,” says Mr. Mitchell, "is not wholly due to-in- Re- | Overconfidence on creased yields and highar prices. but to some ‘extent to a better halancink of farming operations.

Average Farm Size Grows. Thelr average farm of 373 acres has grown in fifteen years to 498 acres of plowed land. When wheat trikes fire” on a Dakota farm, it fairly blazes in glory. And so it happens now, in spite of the “terrible” pro- tective tariff inflicted by the former Senator from North Dakota, Porter J. McCumber. How they punished him for it! And how the weather and the Republican administration have laughed with the joke of a huge crop and good prices fn spite of the Mc- Cumber tariff! It is awful! Yet Sena- tor La Follette is conceded the State next November without his having to utter a single wail over its dire plight -—no longer existing. *““The results of this year's opera- tions in agriculture unquestionably justify great rejoicing,” said Banker Mitchell, governor of the Frderal Re- serve Bank, but he was boosting the ary-Haugen bill when he added: | nce the world market price for wheat controls our domestic price, so | long as a surplus is produced in this | country—and in all probability a sur- plus will be produced for many years to come—I venture to ask: Is it not possible to provide some means by which the disposition of the surplus production will not establish the price for the entire crop?” This word of approval of the plan which Congress has already rebuked as Government socialism, coming as does the approval from the mouth of the chief of the Federal Reserve Bank, is of special significance, indlcating | how deeply rooted in the Northwest is the soclalistic idea of overriding the commercial law of natural sup- ply and demand, with special “co- operative” control over markets When the federal reserve banker thus approaches artificial control of sup- ply and demand, is it surprising that the spirit of socialistic unrest and discontent permeates the farmers and wage earners to such a degree that the leading Northwestern supporters of the administration fear for the out- come of the pending campaign? The “bolshiveeky” are in the saddle and “it's a hoss race” between La Follette and Coolidge. Many Forget to Register. In the late contest for Senator— Frank B. Kellogg's re-election to the Senate, in which he was beaten by Senator Shipstead—Mr. Kellogg was visited by an im- posing body of “representative busi- ness men.” They called to assure him of their cordial good will and support. They were ready to do any- thing he could suggest in the inter- est of his election. They preferred the distinguished lawyer who had already served one term with bril- liancy. They would be distressed if he were beaten by a dentist. The very thought made their teeth ache. What should they do? Senator Kellogg's first question was “How many of You gentlemen have registered?” The question was a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. All looked shame- facedly at each other. Not one of that party of willing workers had taken the trouble to register, and all, therefore, were ineligible to vote. More than half our eligibles neglect to caSt their ballots. At the last session of the Minne- sota Legislature a law was passed requiring personal reregistration of all voters in cities of the first-class. Once reregistering now will be “permanent registration,” but none can vote unless he does register this year. This law disqualifies all “mail voters”—all the patriots in Govern- ment serviec—unless they make the trip to Minnesota to register, provid- ing their Minnesota residence is in one of the cities of the first class. It does ndt apply to farmers or villag- ers in whose ranks are most of the “bolsheviki.” It will sacrifice absen- tee voters of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Winona and Duluth and perhaps one or two other cities. It will affect the class usually counted on for Repub- lican absentee votes, rather than the “bolshiveeky,” who will vote for Sen- ator La Follette. Maybe that will help make the “hoss race” interesting. (Copyright,. 1024, by P. V. Collins.) S “REFILLED HOGS” CAUSE PACKER-TRADERS’ FIGHT Latter File Complaint That Deal- ers Discriminate in Buying Stock in Chicago. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Refusal of packers to buy what they call “re- filled hogs” has precipitated a con- troversy between .them and the traders at the stockyards, it was dis- closed today. The traders have filed a complaint with the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture, 'charging the Ppackers have violated the packers and stockyards act by discriminating against them. The packers, who representatives say they have ceased buying from the traders whom they term ‘“specu- lators,” charge that the “speculator” performs no economic service. They allege that the traders, buying hogs in the morning, feed them on corn and water, then about 11 a.m. throw them on the market. The packers assert they may buy from whom they choose and that they cannot be ac- cused of discrimination. Everett C. Brown, president of the Chicago Livestock Association, said that “if the traders are eliminated, which evidently is the intention of i the big packers, then fully 40 per cent of the buying power on the Chi- cago market will be eliminated.” e s ‘The latest census figures show that Australia bas 112,174 fewer wemen than men, .

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September 27.—B: of the scenes in the Re- publican campaign in Indiana today many profess to see a stage setting for a vigorous contest for the United States senatorship nomination in 1926. Senator James E. Watson, with his presidential aspirations vanished and his vice presidential candidacy thrown in the discard by the Cleve- land convention, is looked on as a candidate for renomination in two years. But already factional mutter- ings are heard against him, as is not unusual to Indiana. That the Senator realizes he faces a warm fight is indicated by the fact that he is devoting so much time to Indiana affairs. He has scheduled himself for 50 speeches in this State in order to help the Coolidge and bawes national s candidates, from Ed Jackson, nomi- nee for governor, on down. If the Republicans are successful Watson's friends believe the candidates will not forget his services. Faces Doughty Foemen. The story goes, however. that the friends of Harry S.

It is a situation that is attracting a good deal of attention in Indiana despite the fact that the State is in the throes of a vigorous campaign. The present campaign, it is indicated, is merely the setting for what may come later. HAROLD C.
