I had asked Judge John }. Hunt, presl-
dent of the Spalding county league, as to
the outlook for the convention and thar
was his reply.
YES" he went on to say, 81 have really
been surprised at the number of voiun-
tary assurances of cooperation and al
that have come from all parts of the state.
1t all goes to show that the people are
thoroughly aroused 20 the Importance Of

mass of the democrats of Georgia are b.
metall.sts."

Eyes, the Indications are that practically
every county in the state will be rep esent-
ed. Some have already acted, IN others
there have been issued calls for mass meet

all parts OF the state comes the Information
that the people are heart and soul WITH Us
in this great fsht ana they believe that
Georgia should speak out on this subject,
