They did not get one in. At first glance
1T might appear that they are on a par
with the Republicans, who said nothing

the Republicans do not have to answer

wet plank, while the Democrats will

Cox emssaries rushed around the

OF the profers they made was to
friends of Senator Walsh, of Massa-

support Walsh for Vice President if
the entire Massachusetts delegation
would come III line for Cox.
Walsh told some of those approach

think OF the Vice Presidency, although

Even while the negotiations with
Walsh were in progress, during the
calls of the fifteenth ballot, Indiana
