Independent candidacy speech at Palmer meeting names Byron Allen
The Palmer gathering drew over sixty men and included countywide representation with some klan presence. The five member canvassing committee endorsed Byron G. Allen as an independent candidate after Jack Hunter declined. Allen seeks votes from Democrats and independents, arguing to restore voter conscience and challenge convention technicalities. The piece asserts Allen's support against Republican decisions and claims demonstrable irregularities in Swan Lake township and other areas.
