ference al the Auditorium today
was marked by a strong difference OF
| opinion between the Southern and
Northern representatives At one time

| ignore the Binetallic league. They
! maintain that The avowed purpose OF
| the league was 10 assist the aspira-
/ tons OF their presidential candidate.
! Joseph Sibley. The men from 1ha
/ South desired 10 conduct their work
| IN their section within the ranks OF the
| Democratic party, and in the North 10
/ conduct the agitation on a non-parti-
! san basis. Mr. Rucker, OF Colorado.
I asserted that the trouble with the
/ West was "a growing belief that the
/ silver wing was but the tail OF the
! Democratic kite Congressman. Kline.
/ OF Tennessee. healed the breach by the
! formulation OF a compromise resolu-
! ton providing that q subcommittee OF
! i've be appointed 10 take charge OF the
/ distribution OF literature and that II
/ be instructed 10 use its best efforts 10
avoid any anLagonism with any other
national organization. Gen. \ J.
! Warner, the president OF the Bimetallic

aroused Ralph Snyder, OF West Tir-
ginia- who accused the league Of be
ing partisan and inclined TO antago-
nize the existing parties. Chairman
