Mr.. Buckner's reversal will not now
comment except to say that he did tell
me at my office the day before the
meeting that he would recognize the
proxies OF qualified committeeman.
His action at the meeting shows that
he faced about, for he voted In favor
Of the motion not to recognize proxies.
If his statement to me had not gone
out there is no doubt but that the
forces opposed to Elder would have
had majority OF the committeeman
present. In addition to the statement
Of Mr.. Buckner we had the precedent
Of the state committee meeting. But
there the proxies were needed by the
big bosses SO they were recognized.
This shows that the machine is well
oiled and well geared and that, the
main lever has forward and reverse
movement. 1t all depends on who has
the proxies which way the lever swings.
