City declared that they would raise
$3,OOO,0OO if Minneapolis would raise
$2,OOO,OOO, the loosers to give dinner
to the winners. The success of such

diocese, would send the $5,0OO,0OO
mark to $8,OOo,O0o or more.
Statement by Archbishop.
Most Reverend Archbishop Bowling
of St. Paul, in statement issued this
week, says: "On every side we are
meeting with unbounded enthusiasm
for the work this fund is to accom-
plish." Speaking of the decrease in
the number of students for the priest
hood, the Archbishop said: I'm St.
Paul Seminary we have fewer candi-
dates in 1920 than we had rs years
ago. There were Sc candidates in
1896. There are so this year. This
diocese has depended on other coun-
tries and other parts of the country for
it's priests. Perhaps not more than a
third of the priests in the diocese were
born in Minnesota. Hence the need
of the preparatory seminary which we
are determined to establish as one
result of the campaign
