the executive committee of the national
democratic committee tomorrow, said:
Yes. 1 am a candidate for the leader

tives, and my friends think my chances
of securing the honor are very good. L
would not be a candidate if they did not
believe my selection would strengthen
our party in the east and help us to
carry the doubtful states of New York
and New Jersey in the next presidential
contest. 7 have the votes of the solid
delegations from New York and New
Jersey and have received assurances of
substantial support from other states.
AT this critical time in the affairs of
the democratic party, it seems the wishes
of the leaders Of the east should be con-
suited, and they prefer my selection, not
on account of myself or my personality.

the democratic party as we'll as of prom
