As a result they—some of them —felt a bit piqued today. frankly admit skipping the dinner here because of the high price. But they also say “don’t quote me”—that they resent Chairman Jap Jones, who is in charge of the Indiana Jefferson-Jackson dinner Saturday, failing to invite them. Some would have attended.
