national convention that we are rot
ashamed Of looking at our fellow dele
gates from other states, who point to us
with scorn. as happened in Baltimore
two years ago. And that feeling will
remain until we remove the stigma and
disgrace OF Murphyism. And no one is
more concerned In this than the Irish peo-
pie in this city"
