Although It Is within Ills power to
control tao Georgia delegation for na-
tonal political purposes, Mr. Brown
prefers not to exercise that privilege
given him under the rules of the state
commlttc. Instead of going to Denver
with the vote of Georgia ill his vest
pocket, he will put up to the state con
vention tae solution of all questions
.is to Georgia's latitude in the national
gathering. The delegates who will
gather In Atlanta on June 23 will de
cide whether the Georgia delegation to
the untlona convention shall go in
structed. or tin Instructed, for whom
their vote shall be cast.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion about the Brown headquarters
favorable to sending an uninstructed
delegation. It has been pointed out
teat to send delegates bound by ln-
| atructlons is like sending a messenger
| with a sealed note. It is urged that
j the delegates should go uninstructed,
and be permitted to exercise tiitir
judgement as to what la best for them
to do after they get on tne spot. How
ever. as no expression has yet come
from Mr. Brown cn this subject, and
the meu who will have to decide the
question have uot yet been named, it
is too early to say what will bt- done.
Even some of the ardent supporters
of Mr. Brown think it would be best
to send an unlustructed delegation
and permit them some latitude
choosing a nominee for president and
vice-president.
