GaSGSGS did the present Democratic Primary
system come into vogue? AS have
always understood, the Democratic Primary is
party ruling and has no constitutional authority.
Why did you argue that the majority of the pop
ular vote in the Primary was unconstitutional?
Perhaps you meant it was part of unwritten
constitution.
Here's the idea 1 want to present: If the
Democratic Primary nomination is tantamount to
an election, why go to the unnecessary expense of
an election? II the object of the Democratic
Primary is to let no other party rule in Georgia,
let's change our State Constitution to elect
Governor by the delegate system instead of
Jor1ty popular-Vote system. Give editorial
in your weekly JeffersOnian these points,
am comparatively young voter have always
voted in the Democratic Primary, but at the
same time am no organized Democrat. I am
Jeffersonian Democrat, and this is why I write
you for such information. Success to the Jeffs.
Your close reader, IRA V. MAXWELL.
White, Georgia.
G) If we allowed MAJ ority vote in the
White Primary to decide the election, we
would thereby throw to the big cities an
amount of power denied them by the Consti-
tuition of 1877.
Assuming that an excited election were on,
and that large per cent of the qualified
voters went to the polls, the city of Atlanta,
for instance, would exercise from twenty to
forty times as much influence over the result
of the election as McDufie or Lincoln, or
Glasscock, or many other small counties
could.
AS the Constitution limits the preponder-
ance of the largest counties to a ratio of
3 to /, it would be a clear violation of the
spirit of that fundamental law to give to
these larger counties ratio of 40 to 1, over
the smaller counties
o. The Democratic Primary came into
vogue soon after the downfall of the Peoples
Party.
81 Because there is vital difference be-
tween nomination for office, and election
thereto. Besides, it isn't everybody, even in
Georgia, who votes in the Democratic Pri-
mary. The minority, no matter how small,
is entitled to nominate it's candidate, and give
him it's vote.
We have in our midst "quite few" Re
publicans-in fact, just about sufficient
number to eat the quadrennial pie, without
leaving enough to feed the yard-dog and
house cat.
Then, again, we have some National Pro
hibitionists whose sense of humOr is so nebu-

a politician, but has served the city
two sterms AS Treasurer, two terms as

In 1907 he was the Republican nominee

being defeated by less than 100 while
the usual majority in the city against
the Republican ticket, runs from 100
to 200.
His record on the Common Council
