Farmer-Labor Party (sh)




(1918-44) Minor political party in Minnesota, U.S. An outgrowth of the Nonpartisan League, it was composed mainly of small farmers and urban labourers.

It supported Robert La Follette in the 1924 presidential election, and its candidate, Floyd B. Olson, was elected governor in 1930. It supported Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936 before merging with the Democratic Party in 1944 to form the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party.
