nronirious awoke today to find the
reorgia legislature proposing to make
.he county unit system part of the
general primary law
The bill probosing the change was
,osead bv the senate late yesterday
without comment, while 35 weary SEN
otors sat in their chairs and thought
he, we're voting for local bill.
cana4e bill No. "a, sponsored by j.
Z Felker. is the instrument, which, If
nassed the house, will take from the
axecutive committee the right to pre-
s,rfhe the plan upon which Georgia

~ . new section to the general pri-
mary law of 1907 making the county

svstem the rule under which a Georgia
nrfnarv state or national, shall be
conducted
Eli Not Reached Last Year
The bill was introduced in the legis-
l9+nre on July II. 1911, but failed to
reach passage before the summer ses-
sion adjourned 1t attracted little at
+enrion because the county unit sys-
tenn was firmly established. 1t was
the common belief then that Hoke
Smiths unluekv experiment with the
nopular plurality primary in 1908 had
written inis 10 that plan in Georgia
While Felker's bill was reposing as
unfinished senate business the state
executive committee in formulating
the plans for a presidential preference
primary this year hit upon the popu-
lar plurality plan as the one most fa-
vorable to the candidate the majority
of the committee supported-Woodrow
Wilson. Then this same committee
last Saturday switched back to the
county unit plan for the state wide
primary of August 81. using the argu-
ment that it was bound by the action
Of the state convention of 1910.
The Felker bill was read in the house
for the first time today and its pass
age virtually is assured The bill pro
vides for the plurality rule in case of
tie under the county unit system.

DARROW WITNESS
REFUTES CHARGE
Job Hartman TestifieS Accused
Had No Safe Where Franklin
Said He Got Money.

LOS ANGELES, July 1O.-Job Har-
riman, the first witness of the Darrow
defense, was expected to take the stand
for further examination when the trial
of the Chicago attorney was resumed
today. Hartman has already testified
that he had never at any time given
DarroW $4,000 in currency, as Bert
Franklin swore ne did. Hartman fur
ther stated that there was no safe in
Darrows office, or in the adjoining
room, Where Franklin said he went with
Darrow to get the money Hartman
said the only safe in the suite was in
his office, and that the combination was
held by himself. his secretary and John
R. Harrington. The defense will try to
establish a strong suspicion that Har-
rington unlocked the safe and gave
Franklin $4,000, which he had slowed
away there in a box which he kept in
the safe.
Mrs. Darrow is still Ill and shows lit
tie improvement from the nervous col
lapse she suffered week ago.
Judge Hutton held a conference this
morning with District Attorney Fred
ericks to consider the advisability of
securing new custodian for the Dar-
row jury. During the last few days a
number of matters have been brought
to the attention of the district attor-
ney's Office that have caused consider
able apprehension concerning the at
titude of some of the men employed to
guard the jurors. Juror Goldgin com
planned to the court that detectives
were watching him, mentioning the
possibility of the district attorney keep
ing him under surveillance.

The county unit plan is the only
just. the only wise method Of deciding
on any candidate or on any measure.
1t gives a better balance expression
of public sentiment
The plurality plan is not only unjust
to the country counties, but is more
apt to result in a one sided expression.
1t is not a wise policy to cause the
people of any county to feel that their
votes will be reduced to insignificance
by the immense plurality vote of the
large cities. 1t would discourage
their interest in public affairs and
their contribution, often much needed,
to the proper solution of public ques-
tions.
1t Is better for the maintenance of
free institutions that there should be
many centers of political thought and
activity than that political power
should be concentrated at a few points.
This principle lies at the foundation
OF our Federal system, which seeks to
avoid too great concentration of pow
er, always fatal to liberty, and to guar
antee to each local state, however
small its part in the government 1t is
this feature which has won the admira-
ton of all students of our government.
The same principle should be applied to
county units 1t is so preserved by our
constitution in our legislative sys-
TEN and should be in our primary cleo
ton.
1t Is all the more important when
we consider that the agricultural inter
est is our main interest and there
fore. should be fairly represented in the
administration of the government and
that this interest finds it's only voice
through the votes of the country coun-
ties.
can not understand why this should
be recognized by the executive com
mittee in the selection of the governor
and state house officers, and ignored
in the selection of United States SEN
ator, an office of such vital signih-
cance. Why should not the country
counties be entitled to their proper
voice in one as in the other? Besides

CITY LITERATURE
LIBRARY URGED
Taylor Would Collect Informa-
ton on Municipal Works in
Other Towns.

A library of municipal literature, a
collection of the official publications of
the larger cities of America is pro-
posed by Walter Taylor city clerk. who
offered today to get and maintain such
library if the city council would au-
thorize it and provide space for it in
the city hall.
I'VE need such a library" said Mr..
Taylor I'VE are constantly nsriting to
various cities for information on this
subject and that Almost every day we
receive an inquiry from some other
city in regard to some detail of Atlanta
work already printed in report of
some board. committee or department.
If Atlanta had new piece of con
structiOn work under consideration, the
experts could go through the reports
from other cities, see what they have
done how they were satisfied. and get
valuable information. perhaps saving
the city great deal of money
New York has a splendid municipal
library, covering every important city
in the country. We could build up one,
not so large which would answer our
purposes. 1t need not cost the city
anything, as other municipalities are
glad to send us their reports as they
are issued
