...Laborite Benson's forces inferred that Farmerite Petersen had recruited much of his support from Republican and Democratic conservatives. This claim was supported by the fact that conservative Republican Martin Nelson, twice his party's gubernatorial nominee, was squeezed out by 32-year-old progressive Harold Stassen. Net result of the hyphen primary was to leave Minnesota's conservatives thoroughly dissatisfied, make it doubly necessary for the New Deal to support Governor Benson lest Republicans get an inner track on Minnesota's eleven 1940 electoral votes. Jubilated Elmer A. Benson: "It shows very clearly that those...

They received $107,031,000 (44.5% from taxes, 40.6% from patients, 9.3% from contributions, 5.6% from endowment and invested funds). There remained a net deficit of about $2,200,000.

He promptly implicated several German-Americans in attempts to steal Army aircraft designs and military secrets. Five days after looking at the chart, the Grand Jury returned indictments...
...with the Department of Agriculture off and on since 1902. Last week Dr. Duvel submitted the CEA's proposals for speculative limits. Thereupon, Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace announced that to prevent undue price fluctuation from speculation, the Commission proposed: 1) a 2,000,000 bu. limit on net long or short positions in all futures combined or any one contract market (3,000,000 in "spread positions") except during the delivery month when the limit would be cut to 1,000,000; 2) a daily trading limit per person of 2,000,000 bu. in all futures combined...
