they realized that the great and

one of the Twin Cities. The gener-;
Gus action of the st. Paul represen-
tatives was in striking contrast with
the contemplate dog-in- Che manger
spiritBmanifested by the Minneapolis

clared that if that CITY could not
have the bank Chicago was their
second choice. The stand of the St.
Paul bankers and business men is
highly :commendable, that of the
Minneapolis men despicable. AS a
result of the narrow minded provin-
cialism of the Minneapolis bankers
the probabilities are that neither of
the Twin Cities will secure
regional bank.
