'ills views were made known in a

tary of the Democratic state commit

pressed the belief that the natlonal

its "unfettered judgment as to the
platform for .which the party shall
stand and as to the most available man
to lead the fight."
"While I do not criticise any man
who seeks the presidency through
delegates instructed in his behalf," he
said, "my own convictions against this
method of attempting to forestall-the
action of the conventiona monthsg in
advance of its sessions are so strong
that I can not engage in .personal con
tests in state primaries or otherwise
which would negative the position 1
have taken."
