A stocky, black-haired young man, whose earnest, grey-eyed face is disfigured by pockmarks, he speaks with more sincerity than eloquence, convinces his listeners of his utter honesty when he says: "It is time someone in authority got in to do some fighting for the poor white man in the South. I have been fighting and will continue to do so, regardless of political consequences...
