Brantley Speaks On
Demiocratic Convention
Delegate R. E. Brantley spoke
to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday at
Oak Hall on the highlights of
the Democratic Convention held
recently in Chicago. Mr. Brantley
said that while attending the con
vention he didn’t miss a meeting,
but due to the noise and confusion
he was able to hear only about
4 speeches. He stated that the
delegates got very little sleep and
were glad to see adjournnment roll
around.
The speaker felt that those who
watched the convention on tele
vision probably knew more about
what was going on than most of
the delegates. Although there were
many eating places near the con
vention hall, Mr. Brantley said
that it was almost impossible to
get served regardless of the time
of day.
Mr. Brantley passed around pic
tures of the Conrad Hilton Hotel,
where the North Carolina dele
gates stayed and of the convention
hall; and a program of the con
vention.
Guests of the club were Rupert
Koch, Hendersonville; Deck
Hull, Spartanburg; and Jim Jack
son, Tryon. R. L. Dick was in
charge of the program.
