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.
