A speaker for the house was decided upon by the old-line politi- cians at a caucus before the session. He was W. L Nolan of Minneapolis, who has made a few concessions to organized labor during his political career, but who is openly hostile to the Nonpartisan league, and was se- lected by’ the political gang for that reason. It was hoped by selecting a speaker more or less favorable to labor but hostile to the organized farmers that a breach can be made during the sea- son {in the farmer-labor solidarity. The Minnesota legislature is elect- ed on a nonpartisan ballot, regardless of party lines, and there is no Demo- cratic-Republican line-up and no So- cialists in either house. The League- labor forces, constituting nearly a third of the membership, therefore are the only opposition party. While Mr. Nolan’s election, due to the old-gang caucus agreement, was certain, the Nonpartisan leaguers in the house decided to put up a candi- date for speaker, and did so. .John A. Urness of Douglas county, farmer and- League member, was the organized farmers’ choice and he polled the League vote. At a caucus with the union labor representatives it was agreed that the labor members need not vote for Urness, and they nearly all cast their ballots for Nolan, in the hope of gaining some labor appoint- ments to important committees. As it has already been framed by the majority to keep Leaguers off all . important committees and nothing could be gained by voting for Nolan, _the League members of the house burned their bridges behind them by voting solidly for Urness. The rules committee in both houses are the only committees appointed at this writing and BOTH ORGANIZED FARMERS AND UNION LABOR are ignored in the appointments. The rules committees are among the most - important. THREAT AGAINST LIBERALS The farmer-labor forces, which have been inclined to treat the propos- ed “anti-red flag” legislation as a - joke—a sort of toothless Jjibe at So- cialists and radicals—received a se- vere jolt wheni house bill No. 1 was in- troduced. - This bill, evidently the one recommended by Governor Burnquist in his message;and backed by the big business daily press and the majority in the legislature, on first reading im- presses one as a satire on the attitude of the St. Paul and Minneapolis papers, written as a joke by some So- cialist or radical to discredit oppresslve legislation. But an attempt is going to be made to push it through, and unless a majority in the legislature is not devoid of all sense of humor and laughs it down, the farmer-labor forces will be compelled to fight it in- earnest. . The bill devotes one brief section to prohibiting - the display or “posses- sion” ‘of red or black flags, “except . railroad signal flags and construction; work danger flags.” ® In three sectxons it provides as follows: ¢ “Section 1. It shall be unlawful .for of Minnesota any flag, ensign, banner or sta.ndard, excepta flag of the Umt- ed States, a standard, color or ensxg'n teh : any person to display within the state /". _ Lines Drawn in Minnesota Leg1slature Reactionaries Elect Officers and First Bill Introduced Is Studied Insult to Liberals - foreign nation, or of a dependency of a friendly foreign nation, a flag, pen- nant or banner of the Red Cross so- ciety, or of any pubhc school, any uni- versity, college, seminary ‘of learning, college fraternity, church or religious organization. x k% “Sec. 4. It shall be unlawful for any person to dxsplay any flag or ban- ner, ensign or sign having upon it any mscnptlon antagonistic to the exist- ing government of the United States or the state of Minnesota. “Sec. 5. Any person violating the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a felony.” The bill, in brief and in fact, is a direct and studied insult to the farmer and labor organizations of the state, which have elected a strong minority to this session of the legislature. Ob- viously, Nonpartisan league pennants and labor union banners and stand- ards are prohibited by section 1, and. section 4 would. prohibit political parades of farmers and*workers from carrying banners such as the follow- mg, which have frequently been used in meetings and demonstrations against the Minnesota political gang: “Down with graft-and the Burn- - quist administration.” “We demand repeal of the unfair government grain grades.” “Kick the rascals out of the state- house.” And many other similar mscnpt:ons which have decorated halls at League and labor meetings and been used in .parades of these organizations. These are “antagonistic to government,” says the bill. 1t will be noted that violation of the proposed act is a penitentiary offense —a felony. LEAGUE HATRED CLEARLY SHOWN The proposed act is, of course, clearly unconstituticnal. - It could not stand a minute in any fair court under the Minnesota and United States. con- stitutions. But this is beside the ques- tion. - The bill is meant as an open affront to farmer and labor organiza- tions and is intended as a piece of barefaced intimidation of liberals. In the senate the committee on elec- tions -has been appointed by the " lieutenant governor. The committee contains ome League member, who is, of course, in the hopeless minority. Nevertheless the “stalwarts” have raised a great hue and cry against this recognition of the opposition. Pressure is being brought on the lieutenant governor to rescind the appointment. The elections commit- tee is to decide two contests for seats, one brought by a defeated League op- ponent and one by a defeated League candidate. It apparently has been de- cided by the majority caucus to seat the League oppgnent in hoth in- stances. The gang does not desire a minority report on_ the contests, which would precipitate a debate and fight on the floor. It seems to be certain that Senator Wilcox (League) will be unseated in favor of ex-Senator Sullivan,-a cor- poration lawyer who was defeated by a safe ‘margin by Wilcox and who later also lost in a court recount of the ’ballots. Despite the victory of Wil-: ‘cox in the court recount, Sullivan - ~-clauns Wilcox’s friends electxoneered at the polls on election day, in contra- vention of: the statute. ‘Senator Wilcox is an on-the-land farmer, a graduate of ‘the University of ‘Minnesota. The official publication ' of the alumni of ‘the university: re- cently contained a long eulogy of 1 ‘He rtheless. ¢ idergd
