One of the anomalies Of the situation
is that those who will most likely be

It came to matters affecting the order.
The Atlanta Independent declares that
"JohnsOn's election means freedom OF
speech and freedom Of action among
all the members OF the order"
The friends OF Grand Master Morris
claim that he is the ideal candidate
and that the fact that he has served
q previous term OF four years and that
also he viii have been in Office another
four years when the clans meet again
next September does not legally bar
him from reelection. as the law pro
vides that 10 officer save the grand
