Tho conclusion reached by tho committee, y
said MIR, Iihrvior, is that the conmi ttes hhou ID
DO continued until every effort ha. been made
70 discover what party would go furthent on
tho question OF personal liberty. We feel that
thir IL not n time TO force tho hand Of any or
RhnlZntiOn by nominating for Mayor. but n no
organ lZa Ion fccls Itself strong enough TO como
out clearly and frankly for tho question Of per-
non"l linorty thon we Will. slnglohandcd. mako
