that he knew that the executive committee

without suggestion from himself, and that
he felt that he was bound to respect its
decision therein Just as any other mem
Der of the party should do. He had his
own opinion Of the question at issue, OF
course but had spoken to no member OF
the committee about It and did not pro-
pose to intrude upon that body. Whatever
Il considered tho part of wisdom to agree
upon would be promptly and respectfully
acquiesced in BY himself. He had not de-
clinad to be interviewed about it. but had
simply said that he had nothing 10 say.

seeming to try to influence It's elaboration.
