S, ‘IJ’ ey e \ MINNESOTA : HE. Working = People’s Nonpartisan- Political’ league of Minneseta won a sweeping vietory in its first contest of" 1&20, the St. Paul city primaries: William Mahoney, labor candidate for mayor, received 10,903 votes, as against 8,995 for Hodgson; the présent mayor. Guttersen, candidate of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatchy. ran last. The Working People’s Non- partisan Political league indorsed four candidates for the city council. These ~ four candidates were the four high men in a field of 25 candidates, of which the high 12 were nominated. The victory was won despite every at- tempt to split the labor forces, false accusations that Mahoney and other labor candidates were Socialists, etc. Mahoney’s victory in the primaries means almost certain victory for farmer-labor forces throughout the state, because it shows that labor men will “stick” as well as farmers. The board of regents of the Univer- sity of Minnesota is urging an imme- diate special session of the legislature to provide additional funds for the university next year. Governor Burn- quist hesitates to call a special session, which would probably pass a tonnage tax bill. - The governor would also have to explain why an additional tax burden is necessary when taxes at “present are far higher than at any previous time. The Sound Government association, with a $1,000,000 campaign fund to oppose the Nonpafl;isan league, is mailing out free copies of its official organ, “Minnesota Issues,” to every farmer in the state. The paper con- tains the usual lies, half truths and misrepresentations about the farmers’ organization. State headquarters of the S. G. A. have been established in the Exchange Bank building, St. Paul. Organized labor in Minneapolis is promoting a co-operative creamery company to distribute pure milk to its members. This step was taken dfter the conviction of four of the biggest milk companies in Minneapolis for watering milk. The strength of the labor movement was demonstrated in the city election at Rochester, Minn., the labor league making practically a clean sweep. NEBRASKA Edwin W. Reed, prominent farmer and stockman of southwestern Nebras- ka; was indorsed for congress by the Nonpartisan league fifth district con- gressional convention. The sixth dis- trict convention indorsed James Elliott of Scotts Bluff for congress, but as he was unable to make the race J. D. Ream of Custer county was chosen. George C. Porter, attorney and farmer of Morrill, who was indorsed by the Nonpartisan league state convention for attorney general and who has filed on the Republican ticket, has decided not to withdraw from the primary race but to “stick.” The decision by the state supreme court holding that the administrative code bill passed by the last legislature must be submitted to the voters under the referendum has thrown the entire governmental machinery of the state in turmoil. Governor McKelvie put the code bill into effect as soon as 'a district judge held the petitions void. The cost to the state of the referendum and temporary operation of the code bili will not be much short of $500,000. Nebraska farmers are up in arms over the proposed increase in the tax- able values of farm land.

NORTH DAKOTA Throughout the state Leaguers are taking advantage of the new county orgamzatmn plan and are also indors- ing tickets of candidates for county offices. In counties in which organ- ized labor is represented these in- dorsements are being made by joint action of the farmers and labor men. It is apparent that a large majority of the counties will have county tickets which will prevent any future jug- gling with county taxes in an effort to reflect discredit upon the League. The state immigration department is preparing films showing North Da- kota wheat from the time it is sown, through the Drake mill into bakeries and cracker factories. Similar films will tell the story of North Dakota cattle. E. E. Wands of Lisbon, N.
