Foraker Choice of the League Draws Georgia Rally
At Bishop Turner's tabernacle rally in Georgia three thousand listeners including many women urged support for a league backed slate of delegates to the national Republican convention. Tom Blodgett led the meeting denouncing party leaders and urging negro voters to back anti disfranchisement measures while Bishop Turner and Dr William J White spoke on constitution, immigration, and rights. The league claimed eight of seven congressional districts favoring their delegates, setting the stage for a intra party clash over the convention slate.
