bureau in some southern state to on
set "an organized effort in several
states to defeat the national demo.
cratic ticket" was advocated BY Sen.
ator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkan.
sas i'll a statement today.
The statement of the democratic
candidate for the vice president fol-
lows:
The subjects of concern to me
and other democrats just now are
for consideration and decision by the
national committee in its meeting
tomorrow.
THE selection of national chair
man and the conclusions as to what
organizations are required, and how
and where they shall be set up are
of very great Importance. Too
much stress cannot be laid on the
value of an organization that shall
extend its activities TO every Part Of
the country.
Il would like to have the com
mlttee give attention to the pro-
posal to establish a bureau or head
quarters at some central point In one
OF the southern states for the direc-
ton of the campaign in the south.
Conditions in that section are very
different from those which have pre-.
vailed in other national campaigns.
An organized effort is in progress
in several southern states to defeat
the national democratic ticket, and,
while the force and volume of this
movement is not yet known, am of
the opinion that sound policies
should prompt our party managers
to meet this opposition decisiveIy
and promptly.
! The best manner in which to off,
set the opposition in the south ID Of
course largely for determination by
the national committee and It might
be that some effective manner other
than that herein suggested will be
devised. ! wish to give emphasis
to the adyisa bility OF meeting the
conditions refer ed to aggressively.

prevailed for many years ] prefer
