Heavyweight pass: collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness. Corrected session/date to Second Day Afternoon Session, Saturday, October 8, 1927 (directly follows George F. Richards's address; not a new Second Day Morning Session as previously tagged). Removed two bled-in running-head fragments ('ELDER RICHARD R. LYMAN' twice) and several stray page-break asterisks. Fixed OCR typos: "law and' order" -> 'law and order'; "few moments' that I stand" -> 'few moments that I stand'; 'onr hands' -> 'our hands'; 'Lamanit^ prophet' -> 'Lamanite prophet'; 'how long-\nwill ye choose' -> 'how long will ye choose'; 'we have bedn preserved these many yfears' -> 'we have been preserved these many years'; 'preserving gra*e' -> 'preserving grace'; 'my dwn Church' -> 'my own Church'; "made' into whiskey" -> 'made into whiskey'; 'It is no!' -> 'It is not'; 'whoiare breaking' -> 'who are breaking'; stray period in 'IV. APPEAL TO .CITIZENS' removed; '"God grve us men"' -> '"God give us men"'. Confirmed boundary: begins with the talk's opening words and ends with the rhetorical closing question 'Are we unwilling to cast our votes for those who will honor it?' — this talk genuinely has no closing 'Amen' in the source, ending instead on that appeal, directly followed by Rudger Clawson's address.
