NEW YORK, June 25.-A soldier
candidate for the Democratic vice
presidential nomination was put for
ward last night by W. A Comstock,
national committeeman from Mich
igan, and Alfred Lucking, a Michigan
delegate, in a. statement declaring
that Mai. Gen. Robert Lee Buiiard
would receive support from Michigan in
the event the presidential nomination
went to a western man.
TT is fitting that we recognize the
magnificent valor and accomplish
ment of the hero of the second bat
tie of the Marne, which turned the
tide Of conflict and marked the be-
ginning of the end of the war;" the
statement said.
I'VE believe it would not detract

cant of the Catholic faith. In fact, it
is time we got rid of the tradition
that one of that denomination is in
eIigible-and again prove to the
world that the Democratic party is
the broad, liberal, non-sectarian and
non-sectional party Of the nation"
