was being advertised. One remarked:
''Perry's flag isn't good enough for me,
nor for the people of this district We
are going TO return Granger 10 con-
gress."
Later in the day, the state flag was
raised from the elevated structure. and
its motto Hope" tapped I'm the breeze in
the direction OF the Dyer banner. Then.
