Mr.. McCombs wrote this letter to the

Il have just formed new partner
ship for the practice OF law. which will
become effective on the first OF May
The change will necessitate my deyot-
ing substantially all my time to my
profession. My political activities must
he largely curtailcd. My arrangement
however, will justify my proceeding
through to the end of the convention at
ST. Louis.
I'm view OF the party precedent that
the nominee for President is requested
TO indicate his preference for the chair
manship OF the National Committees
and i'll view of the unity OF sentiment
Tor your denomination, ! am writing
you At the earliest moment to let you
know that could not under any cir
cumstanccs assume the leadership Of
the coming Democratic campaign
am happy in the thought, however, that
there are hosts OF able and true men
who can very readily take my place.
The Democratic organization Is
loyal to your policies and purposes We
all feel assured Of "A triumphant result
for you and for the party nominees
throughout the country in November.
For five years now l have been in
the active service OF the party. and II
is with a keen feeling Of regret that
am forced to conclude that my activi-
ties arc Of necessity to be more limited.
II within the limit of my time can no
OF assistance, he assured that am al
ways available"
The President replied as foilow1:
Il have your letter of April 20 ap-
prisinG me of your inability to retain
the chnirmanship of the Democratic
National Committee for tho approach
ing campaign.
u fully appreciate the necessity you
feel yourself to he under TO esisn aft;r.
tho convention shall have been, held in
June; know that you would not
have reached such a decision had not
your now business obligations made 1t
unnvoidabic. I do not feel at liberty.
