Whereas, the Honorable Frank B: Gary has

didate for the office OF Governor at the ap.
preaching primary election for State offers.
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the Democracy
Of Abbeville county, in convention assem-
/. That we endorse the candidacy Of the
Honorable Frank 3. Gary for Governor, and
cordially commend him to the voters OF the
State as being In every way worthy OF tne
Q. That a copy OF these resolutions be iur-
nished to the daily press OF the State. and 10

Mr.. Chairman-It affords me pleasure TO
introduce and advocate the resolutions just

LlOQ Vi UeCOIuluS d CAuuludl0 loi 0ON0ihoIs ~
seems to me but simple justice 10 him and to
the people OF Abbeville county, whom we
represent, that he should go out to the State
as the candidate Of Abbeville county. For q
number of years he has ably served this
county in the General Assembly and has
been honored by the State with the position
OF Speaker Of the House of Representatives.
During the time that he has filled that posi-.
tion, his ability, bis fairness and his Impair.
tiality have been such that he has formed
many friends throughout the State who have
ernor.
Therefore, as have said, 1t is simply Justice
to him aud to ourselves that we should adopt
these resolutions.
We feel that in presenting him to the State
as candidate for Governor that we are pre-
senting one who is fully able to discharge the
duties Of that high Office.
