Our record praises NK Marshall Arm Strong for the Superior court seat left by Judge John M. Oglesbury.

Chicago observers see Lemke as reducing Roosevelt gains but doubt a large third party vote. They recall 1924 La Follette Wheeler effort, noting strong organization and finance yet only Wisconsin and about ten percent nationwide. Analysts warn the outcome still hinges on close margins.
The piece notes cautious Republican reaction to Lemke Townsend and Coughlin in the third party dynamic. It highlights Lemke not matching La Follette’s national pull, states limits, and predicts ballot access in about thirty states while acknowledging cross support among Townsend supporters and the Cleveland convention’s lack of Lemke endorsement.
A Chicago poll of town farmers explains why Republican worries over Lemke fade while Townsend forces, aided by a Cleveland break, rally behind Lemke. The survey suggests limited GOP alarm despite a triple alliance backing the candidate.
The piece argues that a dominant firm kept selling its traditional textile, worsening the market slump. It notes price declines despite adapting to current times, warns that large supply sources cannot dictate markets, and cites Amoskeag as another example of rigid production meeting market shifts with similar outcomes.
The analysis shows Landon leading Roosevelt with Lemke polling just under five percent. Seven of ten Lemke voters backed Roosevelt in 1932, three backed Hoover, suggesting limited Lemke appeal beyond North Dakota. Experts see Lemke at about two million national votes and unlikely to win any state other than North Dakota.
