not believe that tho Democratic party
would take such action. L would refuse
10 support the nominee i'm the event that
ST did select "a gold.standard candidate on

question with me at Lexington, Ky.

not. in my Judgment. bound TO support
such new policy.
Men who agree upon principle can
submit their personal preferences to the
.rbitra ment Of a convention but men who
honestly differ upon the paramount pub
lie questions cannot afford TO be harmo-
pized by q National Convention. Mr..
