nations. This would have been the case
without the adoption of a resolution binding
all to that course; because tho delegates
sent to Chicago did not sec proper to bolt
that con vcntion when it nominated Clcvc-

shut off all retreat and leaves no enrolled
member of asdCmOcr;.tic club any moral or
legal excuse for refusing to support Clcyc-
land. We would have bccn legally and
morally bound to do this, even if the MAY
