Shipstead- Choice of a Third Party
Hedges, M. H | November 22, 1922 issue

add to cart   close window

A third party in Minnesota has elected Henrik Shipstead to the U.S. Senate. This party operated under the name of the Farmer Labor Party. It frankly stated its aims and aspirations, its tenets and principles. It brought Senator Robert M. La Follette into the State to campaign for its senatorial candidate and Senator La Follette advocated the formation of a national third party to "bring back government to the people." The Farmer Labor Party carried the three major cities of the U.S., which are Minneapolis, Saint Paul and Duluth in Minnesota. With the advent of the Farmer Labor Party as an entity has come the death of false war enthusiasms and appeals to petty prejudices.
