Floyd B. Olson, Minnesota's first Farmer-Labor governor, died at 8:29 p. m. in St. Mary's hospital here.

Death came peacefully at the end of his long fight against a stomach cancer. The governor, under opiates sinca late in the afternoon, drifted from coma into death, hardly aware of when one merged into the other. At the bedsid were the governor's wife and his daughter, Patsy, Mrs. Olson's sister, Mrs. Gus Bluhm, Maurice Rose, long the confidant of the governor, three physicians and two nurses.

Before him, Robert County Judge Defeats that the end was drawing near. Their sobbing could be plainly heard through the open window of the second floor room in which the governor lay. As word of Olson's critical state sped about the town, hundreds gathered on the lawn outside the hospital. The street in front of the entrance was jammed long lines of automobiles wound their way slowly up and down the street. The death of the governor was announced to waiting newspaper men dramatically.

In response to a pre-arranged signal, one of the Mayo clinic physicians left the hospital and walked along a previously designated sidewalk beside the hospital, his head bowed. The gathered newsmen raced for their telephones and word wa flashed over the state that Olson had lost his long, uphill battle for life and a chance to run for the United States senate. Death came only a few hours after President Roosevelt announced that he would speed up his intended tour of the drouth areat and visit the governor in the hospital at Rochester next Wednesday. He was notined immediately of Olson's death. Olson's death automatically elevated Lieutenant Governor Hjalmar Petersen of Askov to the governorship.

Statement From Petersen. ln a formal statement, he said: "Our span of life is limited. We must all go sometime, but it it indeed saddening when an individual in the prime ef life is called away from his earthly duties. "Governor Olson had enjoyed exceptional experience in public lift at his age. At 44 he had been governor of a great commonwealth for nearly six years.
