A Baker's Dozen

Whom of the following would you pick to be the next President of the U.S.:

Senator William E. Borah.

Senator Smith W. Brookhart.

Senator Lynn J. Frazier.

Senator Edwin J. Ladd.

Senator Robert M. La Follette.

Senator George W. Norris.

Senator Hendrik Shipstead.

Senator Burton K. Wheeler.

J. A. H. Hopkins, Chairman of the Committee of 48.

William Mahoney, Minnesota Farmer-Laborite.

Ex-Congressman Victor Murdock, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission.

F. A. Pike, Minnesota Farmer-Laborite.

Amos Richard Eno Pinchot.*; If you want one of these men for President, you can take a hand in nominating him. The Committee of 48 proposed the above choice in a questionnaire and offered as a platform: 1) public ownership of the railroads, 2) control of money and credit by the people through Government and cooperative banks, 3) public control of natural resources, 4) preservation of civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution, 5) prevent on of judicial abuses. If a local unit of at least 25 people sign a petition endorsing the above platform, it is entitled to one delegate to the Farmer-Labor-Progressive Convention in St. Paul, on May 30, at its own expense.

"Senator Magnus Johnson does not appear on the list only because his foreign berth makes him eligible for Presidential office."

* Aside from Chairman Hepkins, Amos R. E. Pinchot of New York is the only Easterner in this group. Mr. Pinchot is the younger brother of Gifford Pinchot, Pennsylvania's famed Governor. He is a lawyer and publicist; served in the 1st Volunteer Cavalry at Porto Rico during the Spanish-American War. He is also something of an amateur squash player; though 50 years of age, he can administer severe drubbings to men of half his years.
