Undaunted was the blond, chunky Governor, who wants to socialize every bank, factory and utility in his flat State. Within a few weeks his legal henchmen turned up in the little town of Moorhead, in the northwest corner of Minnesota where Farmer-Labor strength is great. Moorhead is the Clay County seat, and the Olson prosecutors went out to see Farmer Bosshard, who was one of the 25 Banco stock-holders in the vicinity.
