Thomas j. Walsh of Montana last
night finally and decisively' de-

Vice President ]. Bruce kremer OF
Montana announced in the convention

the senator's declination.
The text of the letter from Senator
Walsh was as follows:
ITO the Democratic national con-

York:
Il am profoundly appreciative of
the generous regard exhibited toward
me by the convention. over whose de-
liberations I have had the honor to
preside for the past two weeks. and
find 1t hard to decline to yield to the
desire manifested by so many OF the
delegates that l accept the nomina-

view that it would be wise neither
from a party nor personal point OF
view to transfer me from the moor to
the chair OF presiding officer of the
Senate. Scarcely less important for
the welfare of the country than the
election of a Democratic President Is
