 cards, germinated in a local coun- Gil of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. It was an effort to bring together all elements wanting to assure non-involvement in the Eu- ropean war. Included are such diverse supporters as the V. F. w., Disabled American Veterans, League of American Mothers, Daughters of 1872, Illinois Federation of Wo- mems Clubs, Catholic Daughters of America, United Spanish War Vet- erans, with distinct cordiality, if not official support, from Labor's Non- Partisan League, Father Coughlin, the Communist Party, and various peace and church organizations. Some 300 organizations have been listed as supporters of the Keep Out of War rally. These very diverse elements have in common only the feeling that America must not go to war. But if they could be persuaded that Willkie fills that bill better than Roosevelt, they might bear worth while weight on the political scene.
 POLITICAL ANGLE
 IS DENIED
 Captain William Green Grace, 33d Division World War veteran, who introduced the original resolution for the rally in his V. F. w. post denies strenuously any possible po- litical implication of the rally.
 We realize that the people who attend will be supporting the Keer Out of War movement for various and maybe even contradictory req sons," Captain Grace emphasized before the meeting. "All we want to do is to show the extent of this sentiment, not why it exists. We have no connection with any for mer Keep Out of War committees we have no politics, we have nc future plans = we organized sim- ply to stage this rally Nobody is going to be allowed to use the meeting for any other purposes than the one stated-to demon strate Keep Out of War sentiment.
 As matter of fact, we sent invitations to the whole national committee of both parties. Both pledged anti-war blanks. Of course I don't know what response we'll get"
 OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
 SEEK PROMINENCE
 Grace admits chance that per. manent organization might result from the Chicago meeting, but de. nies that any such course was plan. ned. A Republican candidate fol municipal judge,f prominent in the Irish Fellowship Club, Grace se- cured the services of Avery Brund- age as chairman because I myself don't cut any ice" He has been &C., lively speaking against war involve ment around Chicago for many months. feeling strongly that ''tc get involved in war would destroy democracy and bring in the very things we would be fighting against After this war there must be one country where democratic principles still survive"
 There is evidence that severa existing organizations may try te make capital of the Chicago rally but Grace insisted strongly that any such tieups were not intended and would not be permitted,

President Roosevelt, it vas reported
authoritatively today, has been
sounding out recent White House
callers on possible democratic presi'
presidential combinations
for 1910, and has often mentioned
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New
York city as a possibility for second
place on the ticket.
The third term question is still
hanging high, but it was said that
Mr.. Roosevelt has not mentioned his
own name in such conversations.
Jots Down Tickets
One senator, requesting ancnymi'
ty, said Mr.. Roosevelt's procedure
had been to jot down a possible tick
ct, such as Ode and Roe, ask his
visitor what he would think of it,
then tear it up.
This senator said the President
also would ask a caller how the n.y.
p%otherical ticket could be changed
and improved. It was emphasized
that Mr.. Roosevelt was giving nc
expression to his OWE views, ant
was merely seeking to sound ou1
party sentiment regarding various
possible nominees.
LaGuardia, one time republican
congressman, is now affiliated with
the American labor party. He sup
ported President Roosevelt for re-
election in 1886.
Democratic leaders are expected tt
consult MI. Roosevelt this week re-
garding plans for the party's ma
tional committee meeting here Feb
ruary 5.
