nccordlng to tho testimony of Dr. R.
C. Vender who Introduced him ho Ii
all of that.
"I am about to do something I never
did before in my life Introduce r
candidate" was Dn Pender's opening
remark. "Why a minister should not
Introduce a candidate I don't know.
for a minister Is a voter and has as'
much right to exercise his voice li

fellows who are always talking about i
the jireachcr In politics are mighty
glad to get tho preacher's voto Whoa!

pnlBiv-for a better more efficient and
moro economical administration of
tho state's affairs. Ho charged Gov-
