Shouse Repeats Plea
For Free Delegates
Quotes Prominent Democrats, Including Governor
Roosevelt, to Sustain His View

Washington - Jouett Shouse,
chairman, democratic national ex-
ecutive committee, reiterated his
suggestion Of the wisdom of select
ing uninstructed delegates to the
national convention, save where
statutory regulations in different
states might compel instructions,
In O recent speech TO the demo-
cratic state committee of Florida.
Referring to his original state
ment he said:

walls at the time of the convention,
will be better able to nominate the
candidate who seems most definite
ly capable Of leading the party
to victory. Furthermore, for
the position I took l have distin-
guished democratic precedents."
Chairman Shouse first quoted a
letter from the late Champ Clark,
published In the New York Times
of March II. 1920, to, the secretary
Of the Georgia state committee,
containing the following extracts:
II am profoundly grateful to my
Georgia friends who have suggested
that my name should be placed on
the ticket at the preferential presi-
Dental primary. My own opinion Is
that It Is best not to do that. :.
I think 1t would be fortunate for
both the party and the country II
all the delegates to San Francisco
should go uninstructed, SO as to be
free after consultation to agree on
the best men possible for president
and vice president on q platform
thoroughly democratic in every
plank"
He next quoted an extract from
q letter, written by the private Sec
rotary of former Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall, published in
the New York Times of March 20,
1920, to q friend who wished to en-
ter Mr. Marshalps name In the
