by Champ Clark III the house Of repre-

national committee and delegate to the
Democratic convention from Massaehu-
sets, arrived III Kansas City. Mr..

us what we should do. New York, with
Hill as her leader, remained silent in
the Chicago convention after the ma.

there must be no deviation from that
declaration.
