Brice Declines Positively
Immediately after the roll call Calvin
S. Brice, chairman of the former COM
mittee, reiterated his declaration that
h did not desire to be considered can
didate for reelection. ''In the campaign
of four years ago." said he, II work ed
as earnestly as any man possibly could
for Democratic success. L threw my
entire mental and physical energy into
the contest. The party was defeated,
however, and l am not unaware of the
fact that the public always judges a
matter of this kind by the standard of
success. am confident, however, that
the members of that committee know
that nothing was left undone by myself
or the committee to achieve success.
Applause.
regret to sever my pleasant connec
lions with the committee as its chair
man, but must decline to be considered
in that connection. l thank the men,
bers for the past honor conferred upon
me and assure the committee that my
services as a member are always at the
command of the committee, and that
anything l can do for the party l will
always be GLAD to do. [Applause.]

positive declination that l, for one, con-
