to become Minnesota's "favorite son"

DR.. Northrop's ultimate answer was
that should the Minnesota field be left
practically to himself, and should the
call be made upon him by fair repre-
sentation of all the factions of the Re-
publican party in the state, he would
give to the proposition calm delibera.

Those who called upon Dr. Northrop
were Walter N. Carroll, who original.
ed the idea: Edward e. Smith, former
lieutenant governor and former chair.
man of the Republican state central
committee, and former Mayor William
Henry Eustis.
Knowing the purpose of the visit
DR.. Northrop opened up the discussion
by asking a few pointed questions
about the primary law which the Re.

The names Of the men who really

Furthermore, in that event, no sup
porter of any of these men may be,
come candidate for delegate. Can
didacy is limited to the supporters of
those whose names are on the ballot.
Further. the whole plan is pointed to.
ward party strife rather than toward
