His opponent for the Republican nomination for Senator was Governor Christianson, twice elected chief executive, the last time by a very large majority. But the blind Seantor fooled them all. He de- feated Christianson by nearly 100,000 votes. It is quite true that Christianson lost popularity greatly since his last election. Bui the anti-Schall forces were solidly behind him. In the senatorial primary election this Republicans polled 477,000 votes in round numbers; the Farmer-Labor Party 75,000 votes, and the Democrats 30,000. It is true that there were no outstanding contests in the Farmer-Labor Party and among the Democrats for this nomination. How- ever, the figures probably mean soms thing when it comes to estimating Re- lican strength. Ernest Lundeen, the er-Labor candidate, like the Demo- cratic candidate Hoidale, ran in the fifth district last year for House and was beaten by Nolan the Republican. Lundeen’s Chances Problematical. Just what Lundeen will do in the senatorial contest is still problematic. The Parmer-Labor leaders insist he has a chance to win, but the Republicans and Democrats count him out of the ts bel Nolan, the com- Farmer-Labor Democratic based on the re- had just been'through in the Republican pri- Senators back in_ 1858, ‘World War and America’s participation in it lost a Jot of ground.

But if the election took place today he probably would win. ‘The Hoover administration as an is- sue is not figuring in the senatorial campaign. 1l opposed the admin- istration practically at every turn. It is true that the Hoover administration and the Federal Farm Board are in- tensely unpopular with the T'lln trade in Minneapolis and St. Paul, probably to a far greater extent than with the farmers. Some of these disgruntled Republicans may go to the Democratic candidate in this senatorial election in an effort to take a slap at the admin- istration as well as at Schall. There is & spirit of unrest politi- cally among the farmers, it is said, although the farmers themselves are keeping rather quiet about whgt they intend to do in this coming election. All the candidates for the Senate are ready to pledge to the farmers their support for old McNary-Haugen farm bill ‘if they be elected to the Senate. Reports from sources well informed about farm conditions, however, indi- cate that despite the drought and low prices for wheat, Minnesota farmers are doing fairly well, irecting He goes further and says that Minnesota's composite crop condition this year is 97.2 per cent of the 10-year average. About the whole situation in the Northwest he says: “We find conditions quite satisfac- tory, and in comparison with some other sections of the country our situ- ation is & happy one indeed. It would be rash to say that farm buying power of the Northwest will be equaled to or exceed that of last year, but there is & general agreement that the differ- ence is not substantial. A gu is that the Northwest farm buying power this year will be somewhere be- tween 5 and 10 per cent less than last year.” — DISTRICT REPRESENTED -y 10 DEMOCRATS Montana Senator Has Slight Chance in Battle of Wets and Drys. BY MARK SULLIVAN. Of the senatorial seats at issue in this campalign, few are as important to the Democrats as that of Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. It can also he raid that few are as important to the drys. Walsh is a strongly dry Senator. Montana is a strongly wet State. It has ropealed its local enforcement law and has taken other steps indicating it is perhl%a the wettest State outside the East. nder these conditions the campaign of Sena- tor Walsh to succeed himseif has given rise to some unique alignments. With ‘Walsh a dry Catholic, the Republicans nominated against him a wet Catholic, Albert J. Galen, now a-judge on the State Supreme Court. With both can- didates Catholics, church organizations have taken unusual steps based on the prohibition issue. ‘The Methodist Church, most of whom in Montana are Republicans, indorsed Walsh. A State meeting of the United Brethren, strong in Montana and largely Republican, in- dorsed- Walsh. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, which in Montana rarely indorses candidates, indorsed Walsh. On the other side, adverse to Walsh, is the rather sensational entry into the situation of the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Hiram K. Evans, with a tour in'which he made four speeches. Faced with takiny sides as between two Catholics, one dry and the other wet, the Klan official espoused the wet Re- publican one. Evans put his opposition to the dry Democratic Cathoiic Walsh chiefly on the ground that Walsh favors America’s entry into the World Court, and is therefore undesirable from the point of view of the Klan's conception of Americanism. Counter Current Effects. How great the effect of the Klan's public action may be, no one can es- timate, because every body agrees that much of the effect will express itself in counter currents. Montana has large population of foreign born, who are of diverse religions. There are Italian, Irish and German Catholics. There are Swedish, Norwegian and German Luth- erans. There are Russians, Greeks and Armenians. Nearly all the foreign born, of whatever nationality or religious faith, are wet. Just what would be the various and intricate reactions of these groups, and the net effect on all, of a Ku Klux Klan leader speaking in favor of a wet Catholic is for any reader to guess. Politiclans trying to figure it out have thrown down their pencils in despair, though many of them are ex- pert in assaying the effects of all the 57 varieties of mm‘lndl. of propa- ganda designed to have reverse effect, of propaganda that operates as a boom- erang, of propaganda designed to in- fluence one group one way and another group the other way. Some Montana politiclans have esti- mated that Walsh will lose some of the normal Democratic vote because most of the Democrats are wet and Walsh is dry. To the same effect, they estimate that Walsh will lose some more Demo~ cratic votes because most of the Demo- crats were ardently in favor of ex-Gov.

Unfavorable to Walsh is the fact that &um is essentially a Republican . This is fundamentally true, in spite of the fact that the present two Senators from the State and the pres- ent Governor are Democrats. It is es- timated that nearly seven-eighths of the local county officials hout the State are Republicans. For years| B most of the members of the Legislature have been Republican. Most of the State officers below the rank of Gov- jernor'are Republican. Unfavorable to Walsh also is the fact that in the Senate he opposed con- firmation of Chief Justice Hughes, which action alienated from Walsh some of the more thoughtful sources of opinion. Adding to the extraordinarily bizarre line-up of elements of the population and of leaders is the announcement ithat Progressive and wet Republican Senator La Follette will campalgn in the State for Democratic and dry Sen- ator Walsh. Associated with this type of progressive or radical sup of ‘Walsh is the fact that most of the rail- road workers, numerous in Montana, are for him. Walsh will likewise have the support of most of the veterans, partly because Galen as a judge con- demned the constitutionality of a State | soldiers’ bonus law and partly for other acts of Galen. This Montana fight, in a State hav- ing one of the smallest populations, is exceptionally important nationally. It is & square and relativel, plicated issue of wet versus dry. feat of Walsh would be a blow to dry prestige through- out the country. The loss of Walsh to the Democrats in the Senate, in a national sense, would not be compen- ot Al D e K today seem to favor Walsh slightly. o One doctor says it's “Crirminsl| Uruguay Envoy Is Returning.
