Politics III, Hennepin

Minneapolis for the headquarters of
the republican state central committee
during the present campaign-this top
ic is being generally discussed by re.
publicans turnout the city. 1T is con-
coded that Hennepin is a strategic
point in the campaign, and further
more it Is believed that for once Min
neapolis should be shown some political
preference of this sort. -:,... :,.s,
tiers and all working facilities are bet
ter in Minneapolis than in st. Paul.
The move would worry the democracy
republicans here. It is believed, too,
that the move would please republi-.
cans thruout the entire state. Mime
apolis has become the business and
outside workers Of the party come in
here than to St. Paul. For this reason
Minneapolis is being pushed as the
only logical location for the state com
mittee headquarters. Some of the old
timers who have been running to St.
Paul as the political fountainhead may
prefer the town down river, but it Is
believed that the great body Of work
ers would be delighted to have state
headquarters established in Minneapo-;
lis.
