Farmer-Labor Party votes ‘own’ death

Minneapolis, Minnesota (UP) –
The Farmer-Labor Party, one of the most persistent of third-party movements, voted itself out of political existence today.

The party, whose tradition extends in a direct line to the Populist Party of the 1890s, joined forces in Minnesota with the Democrats in an attempt to reelect President Roosevelt to a fourth term.
