"If | were citizen OF ST. Paul
would vote regardless OF party 10 rebuke
the men who are guilty OF giving the
city the black eye that the Republican
platform makers did In the resolutions
which were adopted at their convention
last Thursday" said +. l.. French, the
well-kn0wn banker OF WahpetOn, y.

"And so would l." remarked John A.
