think that Gov. Merriam's reasons for adyo-
eating the holding OF the Republican ma

Ii would be very good place Tor the Demo-
Gratis TO come 10, since the Republicans are
coming TO Minneapolis We have ample
hotel accommodations in the two cities and
in saltwater and other neighboring towns
ana think an effort ought to be made 10
secure the convention.
W. L. McGraJh-There could be no better
possible advertisement for the Northwest I,
and St Paul especially Ii would be worth
S-O0O.O0J TO 81. Paul To have the convention
here. and that amOHt of money could not be
expended in advertising the town in any
better way than ma ing great effort to Sc
cure the convention. The Republicans arc
losing ground in the state, and if the DEM
ocIats come here they will have Il good
lighting chance for the state. They cannot
expect 10 carry the STATE unless they do come
here 10 hold the convention. IL The people
OF The city can build building for n prize
hight they ought 10 be able TO put up one for
the convention Politically. think il would
be great move for the Dem ocratic party
