New Farmer-Labor Party Starts in No Oak
In Bismarck North Dakota on December 19 the Farmer-Labor Party of the state formed as a third party for the 1926 campaign. The skeleton organization will set its status in February with a state ticket planned for next year. Nonpartisan League members sponsored the idea, though the league itself did not back the plan. The platform calls for reviving the state industrial program and establishing Bank of North Dakota branches in every county. The national platform asks federal support for agriculture equal to railroads. A split between Nonpartisan League leaders and the Farmer-Labor advocates was noted by Roy Frazier, Republican state central committee chair.
