That he would keep pretending ha ' ?" Americana have equal oppor tunities, and that the right to organ lze and functlon in labor unions is recognized by big corporations, was expected by all who watched his cam paign. But that Hoover, the boasted engineer, would solemnlv recite fal«e totals on unemployment to an audi ence in industrial New Jersey came ; as a shock. The old political gang sters, when they recovered from^ their ! surprise, rubbed their palms togeth er and grinned happily. Hoover wasj their own boy, after all! What Hoover said was that "When we assumed direction (in 1921) there were five to six million unemployed upon our streets.There have | been asesrtions of wide unemploy-j ment at the present time , There was a temporary dip of employment last winter. From this we are now rapid ly recovering. An accurate sur vey of the department of labor show ed that even including the usual wint er seasonal unemployment, about 1, employees were out of work as contrasted with five or six million in 1921. What the bureau of labor statistics did find was that there had been an increase of over 1,800,000 in the to tal of unemployed in this country be tween 1925 and 1928. Senator Way ner of New York who called attention in congress last winter to the fact that Secretary of Labor Davis, transmitting the report, had spoken of the 1,800,000 as the total instead of the increase in unemployed, de dared that the total unemployed in the United States was between four and five million. In other words, Wagner challenged the republican claim that they had reduced unem plovment to any great extent, This controversy as to the number of jobless men and women in the U. S. attracted a great deal of attention in the daily press when Hoover was an active candidate for the presiden tial nomination Had he wanted to avoid reading it, he would have found difficulty in keepmv himself ignor ant of the facts. Hoover had been active, as he now proudly says, m in . of on is P. to the the a Saved! A. '->■ ; . tr > rin g to reduce unemployment un der the republican regime. These circumstances make his misuse of statistics the more notable. As an engineer, he seems to be a rather bold faced politician. In his role as anti-socialist agita tor, Hoover, has taken this occasion of a speech on labor topics to revive war-time slogans. In speaking ot I 'he improvement" in relations' betrxgen American capital and labor in the past seven years—the years of rapid growth of company unions— he says: "Both accept the fundamen Ital fact that greater efficiency, larg er application of mechanical devices, and full personal effort are the road to cheaper costs, lower prices and thus again to wider consumption and larger production of goods. . . . . Both bave joined in repelling socialism, and other subversive movements.'', Subversive of what? Subversive of j the monopoly which private capital h °lds, in America, in the field of profit-making industry. This Newark speech reveals the es sen . tial Hoover-modern business pro converted to the belief that hl ^ b ^ages furnish more profits to capital, through an expanded market Jor goods, than do low wakes. But be >® dose-mouthed on anything that j hmits the power of capitalists. - I WI* 1?

The expose of Schall's fight on Christianson and Hoover published in the Farmer-Labor Press about two weeks ago compelled the republican newspapers to give reluctantly public lty these ugly facts themselves. Schall now states that he expects f° v f te . f° r Hoover, although in 192 0 d es ^ ated k ^ as ^ ltl ^ h f nrpi |ner li5f an as an ^ foreigner who ever saI ^ e ^ our sh^çs to exploil: aur people.'' Conditions no doubt have operated make Schall line up in a measure. ïî" fil S? P ro ' Isl °n in the farm relief measure and will continue to fight for it and for that reason he cannot support Secretary Hoover with any degree of enthusiasm. Schall Will Not Campaign for Nelson and Christianson. "I am a republican still, Schall, in the coming campaign. I cannot go out and campaign for the state ticket. I expect to seek re-election to the senate two years from now and Gov. Christianson says he intends to be my opponent. I would look foolish going out on the stump for the man who is going to fight me two years from now. I see no reason why I should single out Arthur Nelson, candidate for the senate as the only republican I should do active work for. The above is certainly an astound ing statement for a republican office holder to make during a campaign. There is perhaps no republican offi cial in the land who would openly refuse to support another republican nominee for public office on the ground that the latter was planning on becoming a candidate in opposi tion to him at the next election. The republican newspapers are now hammering Schall hard for this be says but I expect to be very still ff trayal of the party. The utter sel fishness of these kept publicity agents the plunderbund is obvious. These papers did not see fit to attack Schall account of his vicious and corrupt campaign against Magnus Johnson in 1924 but now that he sees fit to re pudiate the republican state ticket he designated "a disgrace to the re publican party." Moreover, the G. O. press is threatening Schall with results in 1930 for his opposition Nelson, Ted & Co. Some Republicans See the Light What no doubt is bothering Schall other republican politicians in re spect to the situation is that they see defeat staring the republican party in face. Hoover's reactionary atti tude not only on farm relief, but on water power control, and the more progressive stand taken by A1 Smith, democratic nominee and by Nor man Thomas, the socialist candidate, makes republican defeat in Minnesota and in other northwest states all but certainty. And the more sophisti cated of the republican politicians see this and do not care to become parti cipants in a campaign that means de feat. Speaking of water power calls to mind qgain. the importance of legisla tion along this line in the state of Minnesota. The farmer-labor party has at all times championed public ownership of water power while the republicans have stood out against it and in favor of the power trust. It will be recalled that Theodore Chris tianson fought public ownership of water power and of public utilities as advocated in the Farmer-Labor plat form in 1924 as "socialism, i n the 1927 session of the legisla ture Representative Frank T. Stark ey of St. Paul, introduced a bill pro v iding for state control of water pow er . A similar measure had been in troduced at the 1923 and 1925 ses s i on s by-Rep. Stockwell of Minneapo is . Among those who were active in fighting the measure and who are now ajîain seeking re-election to the house are - W I Norton of Hennenin- Os Sr' A Swenson of NicoHet M J R ohne , 0 f Freebo'm; O. C. Neuman, of Traverse; and J. E. Therrien of Pine, Active campaigns are being waged by the opponents of these legislators an{ | if proper pub i ici t y is g i ve n to the reC ord that they have made at past sessions there should be little difficulty experienced in unloading Swenson, Rohne, Neuman and Ther rien. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to get rid of Norton, W'efald Making a Good Fight Former Congressman Knud Wefald is waging an active and apparently effective campaign in the ninth dis tri ct.

DONALDSON, Dealer Plentywood, Montana WWÏ 1 AC SIX PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS gin of about 1,300. The true signifi cance, though of the poll lies in the drift shown from Coolidge, Davis, and LaFollette vote of 1924 to Hoover and Smith. Smith is polling approximate ly 44 per cent of the Coolidge vote; 66 per cent of the Davis vote and 76 per cent of the LaFollette vote. Ap plying these percentages to the votes cast in Minneapolis in 1924 would give Smith a lead of more than 17, 000. It is quite evident that the strength shown by Smith is in the nature of an anti-administration protest and not so much an indication of the popularity of the New York governor. But this protest will materially augment the farmer-labor vote in November.
