81 JAMES B. NEYTN

To the Honorable Editor of Side
lights;
AS the days go by Georgia seems
more certain than ever of having
some real politics this year.
Indeed, it now looks like there will
be factionalism within factions by
the trend of events in the Senatorial
situation the past week.
Wherefore (and there are lots more
like mel the bars should be let down,
and let every man, down to the Tit
tlest" voter, have an equal hand in
the scrapping.
BY this | mean, do away with the
, county unit system and let every
mans vote count the same, whether
he be one of the $50 or thereabouts in
Glascock or ore of the $4,000 or so in
Fulton. Then whoever is elected long
Senator, short Senator, Governor OF
! Dog Catcher, will know he is the
! choice of the most voters. instead OF
| the most counties, as in the past few
years.
| Do YOU remember what a squabole
was threatened two years ago when
the county unit vote of Pottle and
| Broyles for Court of Appeals judge
was tied? Suppose the Senatorships
should get tied up that way this year?
In the Pottle- Broyles case, the ma
jority vote finally ruled. Wouldn't 1t
have been better to let it rule In the
first place?
1t has occurred to me that Georgia
will be taking a chance of running
afoul the Governments new constltu-
tional amendment for the direct cleo
ton Of Senators if it hangs on to the
county unit system in the primaries
Georgia would be in pretty pickle II
some rabid Republican should raise
the point in Congress.
Remember, there's a chance, though
a most unlikely one just now, for the
G. o. P. to come back" and wipe out
that slim Democratic majority in the
Senate, to say nothing of the House,
in the fall elections.
The terms of a third of the present
Senators expire next March. Just
suppose things did go wrong and the
Republicans needed to tie up two or
three Democratic Senatorial votes to
put the Democratic administration in
a hole" Couldn't they raise con-
stitutional question over the county
unit system in Georgia as being con-
trary to the spirit of thu direct cleo
ton amendment?
It is true that the primary does not
ELECT-the actual election coming
after the primary-but the primary
SELECTS the man or men to be
elected.
This direct election amendment is
too new to take chances with. Let's
don't do it. Anyway, it's lots more
fun to count everybody's vote like he
votes it, and then watch the totals
grow. than to throw away a few
thousand in a county like Fulton or
Chatham because three little counties
in the mountains or the wiregrass
happen to go the other way
Give every voter an equal chance in
the fight this year. s
Yours for Georgia and more politics,
A. RANKIN filler.

Host Of Friends at
Mrs. 0'Keefe's Burial

Many beautiful flowers and the at
tendance of host OF friends testified
70 the love borne for Mrs. Sarah
Branch oKeefe, whose funeral was
conducted Monday afternoon from the
second Baptist Church. IS.
In the absence of the pastor, DR..
John F.. White, DR.. A. T. Spalding,
who had known Mrs. O'Keefe when
she was Miss Branch, belle and
heiress of Greene County, Georgia,
and who was college mate of her
husband, the late DR. Daniel Cornelius
| O'Keefe, conducted the services The
pallbearers were r. V. Carter, Frank
Weldon, DR.. William Campbell
Charles Davis, ST., Walker Duns IN
and William Hurd Hillyer.

originally, and I'm red headed. That S
why like scrap "likeEwe used to
have in the good old days"
A. r, F.
Those persons who read A. Rankin
Filers previous illuminating commu-
nication. duly promulgated in this
department, doubtless were inclined to
suspect that he is an incendiary and
pestiferous cuss. bent upon making
mischief whenever and wherever pos
sible
However, he is perfectly welcome
to kick the lid off in this column,
whenever the spirit moves HMM
deed, one of the primary purposes OF
this department is to see that the lid
does not get damned on too tight!
AS to the things concerning which
this correspondent blithely inquiries,
however, Sidelights will neither affirm
nor deny-neither will he point with
pride nor view with alarm.
1t is Sidelight's private opinion that
A. Rankin Filler is both politically
mean and depraved enough TO get up
a noisy and fussy row entirely with
himself. if nobody else will dispute
what he says.
The suggestions he makes, never
theless, are both pertinent and imper-
tinent. He, at least starts two lines
of controversy that likely will breed
copious argument-that is, whether
we shall have atcounty unit or plu-
rality primary, and whether a county
unit primary would motor might lot
cloud the title of the Senators thus
nominated.
