AMONG SENATORS WHO WOULD

A significant phase of ante-conven-

stay away from National Conventions
in obedience to an ancient and we'll
observed theory that the Democratic
party chooses a candidate to please the
masses of the people rather than the
politicians and bosses.
This year, however, there is a singu-
lar desire among Democratic senators
TO be present at Kansas City. OF
course, Senator Jones. of Arkansas.

tied that Senators Daniel and Martin,
of Virginia; Kenney, of Delaware;
Tallafero of Florida; Tillman, of
South Carolina; Blackburn. of Ken

Washington, will stand at the head OF
their state delegations.
This disposition 10 oversten the old

reason and a purpose OF this, time

denied emphatically by Mr. Byrne this
