remained with him, m various nomi

In this connection there goes the
round of the Press Club the story of \
a Hearst press man who had written !
a series of articles showing how the |
commerce department, under Hoover j
was failing to protect the local fish
mg rights of the people of Alaska
against the strong arm encroach
ments of the fishing trust fleet own
ed m San Francisco. Delegate Su
therland of Alaska, on the floor of
the house, had voiced this grievance i
of his constituents in bitter terms,
One day this newswriter received a
telegram from hi s native city saying
that a detective was making inquiries
on behalf of Secretary Hoover, into
the private record and standing of
the newswriter in his home city.
The man went directly to Hoover
with this telegram. He was appeas-1800,000
ed in his anger when Hoover dis
claimed the investigation—in private
conversation—saying that it was an
outrageous intrusion.
Sen. Borah has returned to the
capital and resumed his daily confer
ences with the press. He purports
to be battling tor the republican
ticket, on the dry issue. Actually
he is watching developments on the
Kellogg treaty and the Anglo-French
naval accord, and is giving the im
pression that if Hoover is elected the
fo^eign policy of this country will be
fully discussed on all occasions be
tween Hoover and himself, no matter
who mav head the State Department.

en
,
i 1 ^ .statement as to curbing the use I
f in J unc Hons in labor disputes was!
expect ^ by a11 exc « pt a few enthusi-:
asts. 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

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.

Republican newspapers during the
Past week have given publicity to the
fact that conditions in the party are
decidedly bad.
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,

priced six offering the style, comfort and
silence of bodies by Fisher. It is the only low

its price combining the advantages of cross

of coincidental transmission and ignition lock.
It is such features as these which are so impres

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.
