The dispute involved factions head

In the State in 1882, and Joseph Moo

Veteran Virginia LaWmaker
Declines to Reveal Role

STAN Correspondent OF Inc claE'
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 23.-
Senator Carter Glass, veteran OF 40
years service on the Democratic
Platform Committee, is definitely
'off" He is succeeded on this COM
mittee by Gov. George c. Peery. This
was decided at the caucus of the Vir-
ginia delegation this morning. Fol-
lowing all-night efforts to induce Sen
ator Glass to reconsider his decision.
On motion of Senator Glass, the
Virginia delegation instructed its
representative on the Rules Commit
tee State Senator Aubrey Weaver OF
Front Royal, to vote against proposed
abrogation of the two-thirds rule Tor
nominations.
Assistant Secretary of State r..
Walton Moore of Fairfax was placed
on the Permanent Organization Com
nittee and State Senator Robert w.
Daniel of Prince Georges County was
assigned to the Credentials Committee.
Neither Senator Active.
Except for the motion by Senator
Glass, neither of the Virginia Senators
took active part in the caucus and
neither accepted committee assign
ment.
Senator Glass said, II didn't come
here to do any work-they nearly
killed me in Congress and that's
enough. I merely came to the con-
vention because Virginia honored me
with election as a delegate at large VI
To friends Senator Glass said, LAS
q matter of fact, I don't think Who
ever serves on the Resolutions Com
mittee will be called upon to do much
work-it has all been done for them. y
Asked if he expected to be active in
the coming campaign, Senator Glass
replied. 'Now you're getting too far
ahead" But he reminded the ques-
toner that Il made only one speech
in the last presidential campaign, and
that was on November l."
The Senator said that he does not
intend to urge a monetary or any
other plank for the platform.
Unpledged on Legislation.
The Virginia delegation is pledged to
Roosevelt and Garner by the State
convention, but it is not pledged on
New Deal measures or policies. The
State chairman said he expected this
question to be settled at today's caucus.
The caucus was scheduled for last
night, but was postponed because some
of the delegates were late in arriving
Senator Glass is credited with having
drafted the recent State convention
platform commencing the 'humani-
tartan purposes" of President Roose-
velt and wishing him the largest
measure of success in sound measures
which he may hereafter project"-and,
of course, the party platform will be
made up to conform for the most part
with measures which the adminfstra-
ton has in mind.

his second term, arrived last night.

be used often (opinion is another good word
on the typewriter and can be worked neatly
into the "dirty-party" system, even though 1t
has not the rty ending), and that it would be
necessary to learn the touch system. So did.
