FEAR OF LOSING SENATOR IN MINNESOTA TODAY SENDS CHILLS DOWN PARTY BACK Republican . Candidate Repudiates Harding Administration and the . New Tariff Law

Today the people of Minnesota will elect a member of the United States senate to fill. the ~ vacancy caused by the death of Senator Knute ~Nelson. . Although the Democrats have'a candidate who is waging a real fight, political observers agree that the battle is between Governor J. A. O. Preus, Republican candidate and ‘Magnus Johnson who is running under the colors of the Farmer-Labor party. The Republican appeal is local to the state little being said abouti the Harding administration. The Democrats and Farmer Laborites have not been slow ‘about noticing how‘ little President Harding is mentioned. They are -basing their fight chiefly on the alleged shortcomings .of the ad.ministration in Washington | Magnus Johnson admits that he is a radical i and he is making an appeal tp every disappointed and disgruntled . voter in' the state. If-. elected he | promises to act with LaFollette, Brookhart, Shipstead and others of _ the radical bloc. Governor Preus is “devoting himeslf to the farmers, declaring it is his greatest ambition to _rehabilitate the dgricultural situation in the northwest. His pledge is that if elected he will devote most of his time to legislation bettering farming conditions. : g Some ‘of tie old line Republicans - sent word fromn the east that'they | were willing to go into Minnesota and ‘take the stump for Preus, but his managers have decided against this. Senator Moses of ' New Hampshire, has ‘been in the state but he is not making speeches. Last fall Shipstead —as a radical—defeated former ' Senator Kellog by 80,000 votes. . Johnson is making a similar campaign. Preus has repudiated the Hard.ing administration and the new tariff] law in-a number of speeches and the result of the battle is in grave doubt.

NINETY-CENT WHEAT

This Is the Present Indication For the -+ New Crop Now Being Harvested ‘ . in Indiama ;

With the advent of new wheat in the market-the price has dropped to less than a dollar a bushel and the indications are that it will be around ninety cents, : Authorities not in on the gouge game advise farmers if they can do soo’ to hold their grain and not rush it in so as to flood the market. - Indiana growers cannot raise wheat ‘with profit at even one dollar a bushel with thec ost of the things they have to buy up and soaring. . The farmer problem is one which must be met and present conditions refute the statement of President Harding when he was a member ofthe U. S. senate that there is a good profit in dollar wheat. ; e 1f the situation is' not! remedied there will .be a calamity in the coun: try with people clamoring for bread. ‘The farmer is growing tired of being made the goat of speculators and it is- no wonder that the radicals are coming forward in _politics and threaten to take control of the government. . = i Ninety-cent wheat ‘will create more dissatisfaction than any other one thing and the unrest is not confined to the farming class alone. g
