Using. Twenty-eight of the thirty
eight members were present.
Resolutions were adopted asking
the state executive committee to ex-
clude all boilers" from participating
IN the coming primary, naming Gov
ernor Brown in this connection.
The committee is made up of the
Smith faction, and does not represent
the sentiment Of Cobb county by any
means. The action is condemned by
leading citizens as being uncaIled
for, not part of the committee IS
business, and not representing the
sentiment in Cobb, but showing that
the committee is prejudiced against
Governor Brown.
He voted last year for Hoke Smith

pursued the course that Smith did
two years agao by ignoring and not

stated that the young men were mem
