to say that the school election of

to become an independent candidate
against Hoff. believing he could
draw a majority of the votes cast for
other candidates in the prnmaries
and win over-Mr. Hoff in the fall.
"I would prefer to have a recount
of the primary vote. said Judge
Ryan yesterday, '.'but the Tazwell
case In Portland shows that this is
always an intricate procedure and

make me deefde to abandon it."
The contest between Ryan and

Growers and Manufacturers a re Apprised of Grave Situa
tion at Meeting Yesterday Closing of Stores at Early
Hoar Daily So Clerks May Pick Berries Is Contemplat
ed More Than Two Thousand Required by Emergency
Men, Women and Children Are NeededOpportuni
ty Given for Registration.
The loug arm of the Iloheiizolleru has reached out an icy harwl and
laid it across the Wilamette valley. The war has beeu carried across
the Atlantic and home to Salem in unmistakable fashion. Hundred
of citizens are facing heavy loss and even bankruptcy. 'Salem in
dustry is under a paralysis. What the outcome will he depends solely
upon the loyalty and patriotism of the citizenry. Disaster looms on
the horizon in the characteristic cloud no larger than a man's hand,
but destined to sweep overhead full of punishing storm and destruc
tion. '
This. is no nightmare but calm and sober fact brought out at a
meeting of the growers and manufacturers of food products at the
Commercial club yesterday afternoon. In spite of every effort put
forth during the last month, the valley faces an unprecedented labor
shortage. The usual channels of labor have been exhausted and
yielded less than 20 per cent of the .necessary supply.' Two thousand
to 2500 pickers are required for the emergency, unless the crops are
to spoil on the vines. Closing of Salem stores at 3 o'clock so that
women clerks may pick berries after that hour each day is seriously
considered.
BURNQUIST GETS
LARGEST VOTE
.Governor Carries Lively Elec
tion in Minnesota. Say
Early Returns.
ST. PAUL. Minn.. June 17. Whsn
the primary election polls closed
throughout Minnesota tonight after
a day of heavy balloting, one of the
most bitter and perhaps the most
spectacular campaigns in the history
of the state was finished. The con
test between Governor Burnqulst and
former Congressman Charles A.
Lindbergh overshadowed all other
issues. Lindbergh, candidate of the
Non-Partisan League, was the storm
center. Loyalty was the leading Is
sue of the campaign. Burnquist's
supporters charged that Lindbergh's
speeches were un-American and that
the policies of the Non-Partisan
League were unpatriotic. Lindbergh
asserted he was loyal and, said his
war criticism was aimed at "un
escrupulous profiteers."
Burnqulst continued to Increase
his lead as more scattering returns
were received. Forty precincts out
of 2119 in the state gave' Burnqulst
4880 and Lindbergh 1788. The vote
Included, IS precincts in Ramsey (St..
Paul) county.
Candidates for the United States
senate, congress, the state supreme
court and state officers, were also
voted for. United States Senator
Knute Nelson, a Republican, was in
dorsed by the Democrats. His op
ponent on the Republican ticket wa
James ' A. Peterson, a Minneapolis
attorney.
vliurnqulst polled a two to one vote
over Lindbergh in the first precincts
which reported primary election re
turns tonight. The first 22 pre
cincts of the state to report gave
Burnqulst 2159 and Lindbergh
082. The first Jreclnct to show
strong Lindbergh strength was in
Kandiyohi county, where the vote
was Burnqulst 5. Lindbergh 127.
