FJ Bruce Larson -BL
Francis A. Johnson Narrator Bruce Larson Interviewer July 24, 1973 Francis A. Johnson -FJ Bruce Larson -BL BL: First of all you mentioned that your father was born in Sweden. I'm just wondering what he may have told you about those years in Sweden. Do you remember anything in particular? FJ: Well, he often mentioned about his father, who was a sea captain on that large lake, Lake Vanern, largest lake in Sweden, and that he was gone for a month at a time. In other words, it took a month to make a trip, the trip that he made on the lake. Of course, his mother died when he was twelve, I believe, and his father died when he was seventeen. Then he went to work in the Liljedal Glassworks in that town... BL: Do you think his political thinking was influenced by his experiences in Sweden? Had he ever mentioned that? FJ: Well, not so much from his early life in Sweden, I think he was nineteen years old when he left there, but his life was molded mostly after he come to America. With cutting wood on the farm and hauling it twelve miles to the county seat to sell it to get money to live on, he used to organize the wood haulers to get a better price for their wood. And they would wait til late in the day to sell their wood, holding out for a better price. Then, of course, they'd have to unload it and go home whether they got a better price or not. -

J. BUELL 1528 Laurel Avenue St. Paul, Minn. 1915 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BURNQUIST, Who has twice organized the Senate for honesty, efficiency and economy in government. COMMENDATORY FORE WORD. The manuscript for this book has been prepared by C. J. Buell, who gave his entire time, during the legislative session of 1915, to a careful study of the record of each member of both House and Senate and a thoro analysis of all important measures. Mr. Buell has wisely left the record of each member to speak for itself. We know Mr. Buell to be honest, independent and fear- less, and believe he has produced a History of the Legis- lature of 1915 that every citizen can read with profit. (Signed) Hugh T. Halbert, Louis Nash, T. T. Hudson, Elwood 8. Corser. PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR. This is the fourth time that a history of the Minnesota Legislature has been given to the public. These books have attempted to analyze, in a clear, simple and fearless manner, the more important legislative work of each session; and to show to the voters just how thei~ representatives had voted in committee and on the do07 of the House and Senate on these important matters. -

Farmer-Labor, Minnesota) Senator Lundeen Gave This Speech Detailing the History of the Minnesota Farmer Labor Party on August 15, 1940
Speech before Congress by US Senator Ernest Lundeen, (Farmer-Labor, Minnesota) Senator Lundeen gave this speech detailing the history of the Minnesota Farmer Labor Party on August 15, 1940 Lundeen served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. He served as a Republican from Minnesota in the United States House of Representatives, from March 4, 1917 to March 3, 1919 in the 65th congress. As representative, he was one of 50 Congressman to vote against the declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917.v He served as a Party member in the House from March 4, 1933 to January 3, 1937 in the 73rd and 74th congresses. He was elected to the Senate in 1936 as a member of the Farmer-Labor Party. He served from January 3, 1937 in the 75th and 76th congresses, until his death. On the afternoon of August 31, 1940, Lundeen was a passenger on Flight 19 of Pennsylvania Central Airlines, flying from Washington to Detroit. The plane, a Douglas DC-3, flew into turbulence from a thunderstorm. The plane crashed near Lovettsville, Virginia and all 25 persons on board were killed, including Senator Lundeen. FARMER -LABOR PARTY-- A POLITICAL PATTERN FOR AMERICA Mr. LUNDEEN. Mr. President, we have listened to Demo- cratic and Republican doctrines. We have heard the plat- forms and programs of both parties. The national conven- tions and the speeches delivered there have found a place in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Yet unemployment continues. The crisis is still with us. It seems to me that at this time a few words about the Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota are timely and proper. -
