toward two-thirds.
If Clark does cross the majority line
again and it be then apparent that
Underwood is not gaining and has not
gained, Georgia may break to the
speaker. 1t will not do so so long as
MI Underwood's leaders insist that the
Alaoama man has chance to be nomi-
mated and some of these leaders now

has come to him and that he must win
