admit those I who wanted lo come back All of this Indicates i good for the party I I wish to tell you that 1 I expect Mr Stevenson Monday or Tuesday and I I wanl you to meet him J The mooting at I Kansas City was full of enthusiasm I t that mea ts good for i thc party and you all reflected crtdll on ihtj people whom you represented In this campaign we have an Issue the principles o which L lie
