Reapportionment Drive Shapes Minnesota Politics
The Northern Minnesota Development Congress at Crookston drew about 800 delegates and visitors with a consensus for reapportionment and state aid to roads and schools in timbered districts. They urged selling bonds from other states’ Minnesota school funds to fund drainage and immigration efforts, and backed township rural graded schools before adjourning to Brainerd. Governor Eberhart named 26 Minnesota delegates to Roosevelt’s New York reception on June 18, aiming for broad attendance.
