Magnus Johnson, farmer, radicul and follower of Bob LuFolletto, Shipstead and Brookhurt, candidate for the United Stutes senate to succeed Knute Nelson in Minnesota was swept Into office In yesterday’s election in Minnesota by u majority estimated this morning at more than thirty thousand. The stato has for years been reliably republican and Governor Preus put up u big battle to stop the Farmer-Labor candidate. The election result is a severe blow to the stand pat republican organization for it takes another vote from their control and the senate Is so close now there is no fun in It for the leaders and they can see by this election the temper of the voters.
