Long Holds Off On Nominating Bid For Vice President
Boston June 17 Hon John D Long arriving at his Hingham home said he knows nothing more about the vice presidency than the public. He has not sought the nomination and would not start an aggressive campaign. He did not believe Hanna would dictate nominations and said delegates would act independently. He would accept if offered but would not rush it. On China he noted Conger’s silence but promised U.S. protection for citizens. War remains unpledged and undisclosed in American policy.
