Even though Nor- way and Sweden have joined the League, the Scandinavians here are against the League. Their opposition has been carefully cultivated by a Republican press. With only one or two exceptions, all the influential newspapers of Minnesota are Repub- lican and have been feeding the people Hiram Johnson doctrine. Even those who favor the League take thelr stand behind Senator Kellogg, who voted for the Lodge reservations and the number who want the League as brought back by President Wilson is negligibly small. This territory is so friendly to Hard- ing that it even draws a distincton between the managers of the Republi- ean candidate and the nominee him- self, For instance, the writer en- countered considerable dissatisfaction here among Republicans with the course of the Republican National Committee in hafidiing the Senatorial investigation of campaign funds. It is a matter of common gossip that Gov, Cox's figures of a $100,000 quota here were correct, and that the Re- publican leaders made a big mistake when they fatied to explain it. Here~ abouts they don’t think it ts sinful to contribute $100,000 to run a cam- paign, and they would have preferred an admission of the quotas, coupied with a demand that Cox prove that any of the money was used or would be used for corrupt pu! They think, too, that it was unwise to fall into Cox's trap by permitting the diversion of the public interest from the league issue to a discus- sion of Imaginary quotas, the size of which is not as important as the size of the fund# actually raised and the method of their expenditure, Mi iked Harting and will give him its twelve electoral votes next November.
