John M. Garman. former Democratic
state chairman of Pennsylvania, and
the Pennsylvania member of the cre-
dentials committee. All night he
had stood at the door of the commit
tee room refusing to sleep owing to
the pending contest, but always on
guard without food until the final ac-
tion was taken. His summary of the
situation to Colonel Guffey was this:
Eight of our Philadelphia dele
gates have been unseated and eight
contestants put in their places. Prior
to this action the Pennsylvania vote
stood 32k for Guffey and 26h for
Kerr. But taking off the eight Phil

animously in favor of the certified
delegation. The national committee
as body unanimously adopted the
report of the subcommittee, and this
action made the right of Pennsylva-
