NEW YORK, July I0.-(PJ-Estab-
lishment Of a democratic campaign
bureau in some southern state TO off
set ian organized effort iii several
states to defeat the national demo-
cratic ticket" was advocated by SEN
ator Joseph r. Robinson Of Arkansas
in a statement today.
The statement Of the democratic
candidate for the vice presidency fol-
lows:
The subjects Of concern to me and
other democrats just now are for
consideration and decision by the ma
tional committee IN its meeting to-
morrow.
81 would like TO have the commit
tee give attention TO the proposal 10
establish q bureau or headquarters at
some central point in one Of the
southern states for the direction Of
the campaign in the South. Condi-
tions in that section are very diff
ferent from those which have pre-
vailed in other national campaigns.
An organized effort ~ in progress in
several southern states to deefat the
national democratic ticket, and, while
the force and volume Of this move
ment is not yet known. | am OF the
opinion that sound policies should
prmpt our party managers TO meet
this opposition decisively and
promptly.
The best manner in which to off
set the opposition in the South is 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 &c
the a~dvisability az meeting the con-
ditlons referred TO aggressively.'

the university can pledge the inter

This means the university regents

The opinion was in response to n
query from President Benedict as to
whether a law providing that the

constitutional. General Pollard said
II is. lie held that the interest con
stitutes Z fund separate and distinct
from al other funds Of the state.
and is not affected by the constitu-
