Without mentioning names, he
added it was unfortunate that re-
dictionaries are striking from within

that we see those who fervently
swore their loyalty beneath the stars
as witnesses, turn and wait not even
for the first cloudy night to strangle
that VOW"
The convention started off with
informal attacks on the Hatch Act
restricting political activities of most
Federal workers, but took no action
on the issue. Convention officers
said they thought President Roose-
welt had expressed their view in his
message placing various interpreta-
tions on the act.

ed by Barry Bingham, Louisville pub
Usher, needed only one roll call to
put through its IA proposals. The
record vote forced through a sub
stitute resolution involving a Cali
fornia delegation factional contro-
versy.

vital requisite in 1910 the nomina-
