Hanson promises to get 40 per cent of the first choice vote. The Kreger plot ts going to be a boomerang for those | If who hatched it. party until a few weeks ago. Tho fact that Hanson had the nomina tion won, hands down, when the Kreger nonentity was injected into the | senatorial race to make second chotce voting compulsory, Indicates || certain anti-progressive interests would prefer to have any one else | but Hanson get the progressive nomination.
