has been invited to make a southern

Democrats in the South. since the
candidacy Of Chanler for The Ffesi-
dencv has..been announced the Demo
cratic leaders in the South who nave
been at the capital. have taken very
kindly to it.
ChanIer's father came from a must

In this sense the SOutheruers looA
upon ChanIer as one of their own-
They feel that this is not the time g.
ask the Democratic convention "a

support Of ChanIer, they are doing

disappoint his Southern audiences
He has a pleasing personality, stands
over six feet and Is a Iery orator = nen
he gets a-going.
ChanIer's visit to the south viii
stand out in vivid contrast - the one
made by Senator David Bennett
Hill. Of New York. on his memorable
hunt for Southern delegates a dozen
| years ago. Hill Was cold and calcu-
| Iating and never for a moment could

when Governor Chanier gets tbrougt
with the South me viii have the dele

The candidacy of ChaDler has gtyer
the Democrats q waking up Il hzi
