Major Speer Declines Third Party Race for Congress
In Sumter County a third party push seeks congressional and other offices. Maj. M. Speer, touted by backers as a strong Democrat, laughed at entering against Mr. Crisp. The People’s Party met at Americus June 18 forming an executive committee and planning future action, though it claims little strength. Representative Blount remains a rising star, eyed for secretary of state if Democrats win. Georgians stay at work while Chicago hosts the national nominating event.
