devoted solely to the promotion Of
party unity and harmony. 1t is pro-
posed to send invitations to every

both the House and Senate side, to
invite every conspicuous leader of the
party in the country, regardless OF
their differences in the past, and to
extend welcome generally to Demo

the afternoon gathering which will
be in the nature of National Demo

among the guests at the banquet at

the evening.
Chairman Mack expressed his de-
sire to cooperate with the. Maryland
Democrats and declared himself
ready and willing to do anything that
would promote party harmony and
success. He pointed out the dangers
in the holding of conference" and
declared that to attempt to indicate
policies or formulate platform at
this time would be both unwise and
unnecessary. Friction and discord
would inevitably follow. The sugges-
ton that celebration of the Demo
cratic victory in the nature of Jack
son Day, banquet and mass meeting
however, met with his hearty approx.
al. He said that he would not only
attend, but would do all he could to
make it success.
