MAN TO BE TRUSTED

In sending delegates to national
conventions to aid in the selection of
the candidate for president, the voters
of each party have great RESPONSE
bility placed upon them.
Men of good judgment, men who
are not seeking positions for them
selves, men whose only motive is to
act in the best interests of all the
people should be selected.
Such man is George E. Hanscom
of st. Cloud, who is a candidate for
delegate from the Sixth Minnesota
District to the Republican national
convention.
Mr.. Hanscom is conservative
business man and a progressive Re-
publican. He has been a success in
