Massachusetts Delegation Prepares For Minneapolis Convention
Massachusetts delegates head to Minneapolis for the Republican National Convention with plans for safe care at West and Nicollet hotels. They carry four convention tickets each while National Committeeman Hyde holds forty. Ayer’s Assistant Secretary Burns sails in to ready arrangements as Democrats plan a private vestibule train to Chicago for the June convention, returning by the same route. The Massachusetts group will be housed at the West Hotel except Vermont at the Nicollet, and the Palmer House hosts the Chicago stay.
