In a reply, Mr.

Johnston urged him to continue as treasurer and asured him that details would be handled by others. Johnston is chairman of the conference for progressive political action which endorsed the LaFollette candidacy at Its Cleveland convention and Stone Is treasurer. If Stone agrees to continue as treasurer, the work, Mr. Johnston explained, will be handled mainly by one of his representatives who would be stationed here. Johnston said there was an erroneous impression that he and his colleagues were attempting to raise a fund that would ruu into the millions.
