Will It Be Hammond or Armson

Most insiders favor Congressman Win Geld Scott Hammond, with administration figures pushing Hammond and hoping to steer the convention. Mayor J. G. Armson of Stillwater is the only rival gaining consideration, backed by St Paul leaders for his congenialist appeal to German voters. Neither Hammond nor Armson has pledged, but both would not refuse if nominated.
