INCUMBENT Sen. Walter Mondale, Forsythe's DFL opponent, was invited to join in demanding that Freeman quit his job forthwith. The demand was provoked by a news story published Friday about Freeman's off-the-record By FRANK UHLIG Sunday News Staff Writer Republicans were urged to stay on their own primary ballot and Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman was urged to resign by Robert Forsythe, GOP candidate for the Senate, at a Friday luncheon here.

Freeman had advised candidates to "slip, slide and duck" when faced with voters' questions about higher living costs.

In any argument between housewives and farmers, Freeman is quoted as advising, "always take the farmers' side. It's the right side and, besides, the housewives aren't as well organized." Forsythe called this the "final Freeman folly" and one which should eject him from his public office. It is a clear case of pitting producers against consumers by a government official, Forsythe charged.

Confessing his own interest he has primary opposition Forsythe urged Republicans to resist the temptation to vote on the DFL side of the primary ballot. "Stay out of the DFL fight," he counseled. "We've got the next governor.

Let's concentrate on giving Harold LeVand-er the biggest vote possible. Don't try to embarrass the DFL: it's embarrassed enough already.

After observing both conventions, said Short, he found that the sole objectives of Republicans and Democrats alike was to "endorse or else." "People were told that unless they were endorsed they couldn't run. This is not law. It is bad for Minnesota and it is bad for democratic government," he said.

After the Eisenhower and Ke-fauver upset votes in Minnesota against party favored candidates a coalition of legislative Republicans and Democrats abolished Minnesota's presidential preferential primary, said Short. Then he warned: "IF EITHER of the hand-picked candidates of the parties is erected governor in 1966, the Minnesota state primary law will be repealed or amended to the point of uselessness. This is the view of hard-core leaders of both parties. It is not the view of Rolvaag and Short, however."

Short, a candidate for the DFL nomination for lieutenant governor. The Minneapolis business executive, running without benefit of his party's endorsement, is strongly for open primaries, tax reform and the re-election of Gov. Karf F. Rolvaag. He offered some carefully cool appraisals of Lt.

Gov. A. M. Keith, who won DFL endorsement at its marathon convention in June. Short held a 9 a.m.

press conference at Linahan's Inn, where two Republicans blasted away the previous day at the DFL state administration. Short's announced purpose was to appear at the same places as the GOP candidate teams, now on state tours, to "set the record straight." But most of his remarks were devoted to his own philosophies and an impassioned defense of Gov. Rolvaag's administration.
