Minnesota Primary Brings Out
Strong Farmer-Labor Ticket
Shipstead Will Head Ticket for U. S. Senate and Lundeen Is
Choice of Farmers and Workers for Governor. Has Full
Slate of Congressional Candidates. Complete Harmony
Exists In Producers' Ra'nks.
By H. G. TEIG AN ... , ,
The primary election is over.» Each of the three political parties
in Minnesota has made its nominations for state and congressional
p-p'j'lrtAÖ %
There were but few surprises. Perhaps the biggest surprise
was the nomination of Victor Christgau over Congressman Allen
J Furlow in the first district. Few persons at all familiar with
first district situation would have prophesier Chnstgau's nom
ination.
The renomination of Senator Hen
rik Shipstead by the Farmer-Labor
ite and of Governor Theodore Chris
tianson by the Republicans was not
only expected but was a forgone con
clusion. Shipstead won by a vote of
approximately ten to one over Wil
liam Watkins. Christiansons ma
chine and the utter lack of similar
support by his opponent, George l.
Simpson, made the governor an easy
victor.
Lundeen Wins For Governor

from the fifth district, was nom

Mr. Lundeen won the

The Farmer-Labor vote was unusu

tests within the party P rlI " ai T Wm

In figuring that they had the votes

Meeker indicated that if the Ohio
votes would put the New Yorker over
on the first ballot, they would be
found in the Smith column before an
nouncement of the roll call. Forty
four of the 48 Ohioans are listed as
pro-Smith.
Both Claimed Oklahoma
Prior to today's caucus, both the
Reed and Smith factions had been
claiming the Oklahoma delegation.
Reed's men gained control on the 4th
ballot when his forces mustered 10 Mi
Votes as against 9% for Smith.
It was decided that another caucus
would be called in the convention hall
to determine for whom the Oklahoma
delegation would vote on the second
ballot.
Cordell Hull of Tennessee who had
been given seven votes on the second
ballot in the. caucus dropped from the
running on the third ballot and Reed
on the fourth gathered three of the
4V 2 votes Hull had received on the
third poll.
The action of the Ohio delegation
came at a time when the pledged first
ballot strength of Smith totaled 705
1-3 or just 28 votes short of the two
thirds required for nomination. Even

Howard M. Lewis, lawyer, returned
Friday from Sidney, Montana, where
he repesented Emil Olson, an old
timer, in a lawsuit against Anton
Storvik, likewise one of the old resi
dents of the country around Nohle,
and which is at the south end of the
Great Northern bridge at Snowden.
This was the second lawsuit tried in
Sidneys splendid new court house—
among the fines tin the state.
Olson claimed between $2,000 and
$3,000 on the note of Farmers Ele
vator Company of Nohle, which went
bump some years ago. His note was
endorsed by the directors, of whom
Storvik was one. And Olson was the
only witness in his own behalf, while
many of the directors testified posi
tively against him. However, the
Plentywood barrister gave them all
he had; and the jury believed the
plaintiff—one man against all the
