The secretary read many complaints
from the district clubs asking the general
committee Co settle disputes in those or
ganiZations. James Robinson sent in a
complaint from the Thiry-third District
to the effect that while he was on visit to
Europe his name had been stricken from
the district committee. When he returned

Mr.. Butler was repeatedly interrupted.
and during the argument it was shown
that the Democrats Of the district are en-
