ing to the true fervor of eloquence and
ellciting tremendous applause.

ance. came down from Atlanta and
preached third partyism straightout on the

tives. While recognizing the righg of
the county executive committees to fix
the time and manner of chcsing
delegates to the convention, the committee
recommend that they select their delegates
