Saturdays Minneapolis
papers state that the Hennepin
Republican delegation will
meet Tuesday evening and agree
on a candidate to support for
senator. The belief is expressed
that the contest for the support
of that delegation will be be-
tween Shevlin and Evans, and
finally one or the other will
have solid support. Either one
one would be a satisfactory
candidate for the state at large.
sShevlin has been very active
Worker for tie Republican
party for years, and in the
recent campaign was the Mime
sofa member of the Republican
national committee. Evans has
been one of the best Republican
orators, in the campaign in this
state for several years. Shev-
is a successful business man,
and Evans stands high in his
profession as a lawyer. Both
men arc deserving of honors
from the party.
