Or. Scherer said, however, that there
are OF course some mean men, some
copperheads who are always crOaklne
and want TO know what we are goine

introduced Mr. Smith.
Mr.. Smith, In explaining the need for

State when called on and many OF the
speakers specialize along different lines. i
They become so familiar with the par @
