ment TO discuss the details for the

General Rice wanted Mr.. Chase to
sign the call as chairman Of the Peo-
ple's party, but this he declined to do
because al the time the conference Is
held the Legislature Of Kansas will bo
in session and he and large number Of
the party leaders in Kansas will be mn
/ able to attend. The result was that
