 C. B. SLEMP

C. Bascom Slemp, for 80 (sic) years a leader of the Republican party of
Virginia, died in Knoxville, Tenn., last Saturday.

While on his way to Big Stone Gap from a Florida resort, about ten days
ago he was stricken of  a cardiac ailment.

Mr. Slemp retired from the political scene in 1932. He served as
secretary for President Coolidge. He was 72 years of age, and a national
committeeman,

Seven before the United States entered the war, he issued a statement in
which he commended President Roosevelt for his policy of aiding England
in the war against England (sic-apparently it should have been Germany
or Japan).
