Although former Senator Camer on Morrison some time ago said he didn't wanb to be a member of the Democratic National Committee, aa successor to O. Max Gardner, poli ticians familiar with the state Dem ocratic household were saying over the week end that the situation was different now. It’s different, they assert, because the problem of Re peal is not now before the party. Morrison, on the National Commit tee, would not be called upon to sup port a party policy on which he was opposed. Seek Shuping Defeat. And those %ho desire to defeat C. L.
