The action of the Committee sus tains, in all respects, my contention that the nomination for Congress is a' District matter, and that it should be settled in a District . primary. This primary gives the opportunity to every Democrat independent of any Con- vention to go to the polls upon the day fixed by the District Committee and cast his ballot for: his choice for the r , .....:... - . ...

As soon' as the rules and dates of the primary are fixed, I shall begin an ac tive: personal canvass of the district. I am not concerned about particu lar rulea,qr the date.
