...farmer suspicious of the Governor's city ways, his enthusiasm for organized labor even when it takes money out of farm pockets. Hero of such conservative Farmer-Laborites is bespectacled Hjalmar Petersen, onetime lieutenant governor who served four months as Governor after the death of Boss Floyd Olson in 1936, once quit the party for a time because he thought it was going Communist. Last week, the party went to the polls to choose between Governor Benson and onetime Governor Petersen in its gubernatorial primary, to settle which was the stronger side of Farmer-Labor's hyphen...
Like the late Huey Long, Minnesota's late Farmer-Labor Boss Floyd Bjornsjerne Olson left some mutually unfriendly political heirs. The de facto inheritor of the Olson mantle is serious, bespectacled Governor Elmer Austin Benson, who is engaged in a struggle for renomination in the June 20 primary. Opposed to him is Farmer-Labor's more conservative faction, whose Candidate Hjalmar Petersen was Governor for a few months in 1936 following the death of Governor Olson and who once quit the party because he thought it was going Communist. Last week the fight shifted to a new front...

...California owns or controls virtually all of Huntington Beach and a good share of Long Beach and Wilmington Beach. Standard is as much of a political issue in California as Southern Pacific was 25 years ago. Standard's foes in the State Legislature, led by excitable Senator Culbert Olson, hotly denounce Governor Frank Merriam whenever he shows what they regard as partiality for Standard. Year ago, when a bill was passed prohibiting whip-stocking off Huntington Beach, Culbert Olson and his friends were pleased. But in the meantime Standard had whip-stocked out $5,000,000 worth...
...months ago, the Legislature passed a bill that was Mr. Merriam's personal solution of the problem. It provided for a State Lands Commission to receive bids; but because it prohibited all drilling except by whip-stocking, the chief company that could submit bids was Standard Oil. Culbert Olson blew up. He will probably be the next Democratic candidate for Governor; Frank Merriam will probably be the Republican candidate. No Californian doubts what will be the prime campaign issue...
