Report On Politics
Indications were that the execu'

recommending that the federation
maintain strictly rionpartisan
policy in national elections and not
tie itself up as an organization with
any new party, would be accepted
by the convention with an accord
equally unanimous as that which
marked the action OF the council.
This report, containing sir ma tOl
recoH1nnendation probably will be
laid before the delegates tomorrow
The council chiefly urged that

primaries and continue its non
partisan committees set up for tn,

to secure the election Of candidate,

Today's session was devoted
chiefly to routine welcome speeches
