Yesterday the object of much adverse

Ing upon itself the right to nominate

The general consensus of opinion
was that the committee had flouted

mary action, and that the chances
for the election of It's candidate had
been materially damaged.
The conservative element of the
committee urged that no action be

feat the nominee and might serve as
an excuse for serious opposition 10
the organization in the future.
On the roll call several members
stated that they would abide by the
action of the majority OF the commit
