Abstract

The Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota

Some months ago, before the election, the most diverse political weather vanes were pointing to the early formation of an American labor party which would participate decisively in the campaign of 1940. At present many observers believe that the chances for such a party are slight; others believe that it is impossible to predict, at this time, what will be the political alignment in the next four years of the elements which will be enlisted in any national labor party. There has been a growing confusion of aim among potential leaders and a dissipation of morale all along the line. During this period of indecision, watchful waiting workers, farmers, and progressives everywhere are asking what kind of labor party the U.S. will ultimately get.
