SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.

for judges Of the superior courts
and solicitors general in the other
circuits of the state The voters of
each circuit, it seems, should be
permitted to name their own So
licitors and judges.
There is a most interesting story be-
hind that provision of the law which
requires that all judges and solicitors
be voted upon by the entire state, rath-
er than by the people of their respective
circuits-a story involving something
of the injustice of partisan politics and
the queer byways into which 1t some
times leads otherwise fair minded peo-
pie.
The law taking the election of judges
and solicitors from the legislature and
putting it directly into the hands of the
people was passed by the general as
sembly of 1861.
That was a famous legislature in
many ways and particularly was 1t
different from other legislatures in that
the membership of the house was
about one-fourth Populist. There were
forty-odd Pops" in that house-so
many, indeed that the Democrats rare
ly moved without previously caucusing
strictly among themselves
Those days saw the fioodtide of Pop
ulism in Georgia!
When the law putting the election of
solicitors and judges into the hands Of
the people was reported to the house
originally. it provided for the election
of those officers by the people of their
respective judicial circuits, and with
out in any way considering the votes
of people outside those circuits.
Just before the bill came up for a
vote in the house, however, some enter
prising Democrat discovered that, un-
der the operation of such a law, Geor-
gia likely would find itself soon the
proud possessor of some half dozen
Pop judges and solicitors-hence he
proposed an amendment requiring that
these officers be voted upon by the
entire state, after they had been nomi-
mated by the people of their respective
circuits
OF course, that knocked all Popu-
listic judicial hopes galley west, and
the Democrat proposing the amend
ment was voted a hero and a wise guy
in an emergency, and was promptly
canonized, as those things go political
ly!
The Pops" were as mad as hops
when they found out how the old re-
liable Democratic caucus had Steam
rollered" them again, but there was
nothing to do but take the medicine
prescribed.

1t is an excellent medium through which
to slip undesirable candidates and leg
islation II is relatively as easy to
lodge a Joker" in long ballot as it is
to lodge it in long bill proposed for
legislative enactment.
Theoretically therefore, the long
ballot is favored by the so-called
bosses" and they always endeavor to
crowd as much on it as possible. The
logical answer to the problem of the
long ballot, of course, is more frequent
elections. But everybody knows what
howl there used to be about the many
elections pulled off in Georgia-lndeed
it was to get away from so many diff
ferent elections that Georgia adopted
the policy Of combining as many as
possible.
The question Of simplifying the bal
lot in the general election is a most
difficult one. In the primary elections.
unopposed candidates might be left off
the ballot, and their nominations de-
clared by the party convention. In the
regular elections, however, the names
Of all candidates, opposed or unopposed
MUST go on the ballot No election
could be legal unless this requirement
Of the law were complied with.
A three-foot ballot is most unde-
sirable, of course, and the Georgia pa
triot and statesman who will devise a
satisfactory substitute will deserve the
thanks of the people. Just now, how
ever. no such person is in sight.

The constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the substitution in cities of
10000 and over, in the wisdom of the
legislature, of municipal courts for the
present justice courts, seems likely to
be ratified by the people in October
almost If not quite unanimously.
The justices of the peace in the rural
and less populous sections generally
favor the change, now that they have
come to understand that it applies only
to the few cities in Georgia of more
than 10000. Indeed, if the amendment
should be rejected, it likely would be
followed by an effort to wipe out the
entire justice court system of the state
"a thing not at all to be desired in the
country districts.
The justices of the peace in the larger
cities also favor the amendment, on it's
merits. Here in Atlanta, four of the
five justices are heartily supporting the
proposition.
The entire thing is a sincere and
carefully considered effort to provide in
the larger cities a method of handling
minor court proceedings along better
and more equitable lines.
The bar of the state, as a practical
unit, indorses the proposed change in
part of the justice of the peace system,
as provided in the constitutional
amendment to be submitted in Octo-
Der.
