In that referendum he said, in tubstance, that he would vote ave So he has placed himself directly on Tecord as favoring the league.

This move may help Senator Glass in the end, as it tends to re- move some of the hostile feeling in the: McAdoo camp that Virginia pre- Vented McAdoo from getting a ma- jority.

But today his views were expressed as follows: “A new party is in existence in all but name, It is a party for three reasons: First, a party title of some sort must be chosen to put La Follette on the ticket; second, state organization must be formed for campaign purposes; third, a definite pledge has been given to organize a | party after the election.
