WASHINGTON - Vice Presi-

Gated after Sen. Vic Donahey, ,.

Friends of the vice president
said they would not be surprised
If Garner supporters in Ohio took
prompt action to enter q slate Of
delegates there.
This opened the prospect of an
other test of strength between
Garner and proponents Of a third
term for President Roosevelt.
Donahey declined the favorits
son designation because the Ohio
Democratic organization proposed
that Ohio's delegates would be
nominally pledged to Donahey, but
would support a third candidacy
for the president IL Roosevelt de-
cided to run. Donahey denounced
the proposed arrangement as .
"subterfuge."

long. with q sharp brass or bronze
point ornament on H." Col. Wright
said. The lad had to point the
staff down to get IT through the
door. Just as he started in, point
down, Davies for some reason
came out through the door. It
was about as useless an accident
as could hsppen--just one OF those
things that happen from time to
