THE COUNTY UNIT RULE AND THE
PRESENT SENATORIAL RACE.

remains in the Senatorial race, there
is a possibility of Senator Hardwick
being reelected. ......... ...
The Neill primary law-positively
the most ubiquitous legislation eVel
fastened around the necks of the
people of this state-gives the junior
senator this chance of success.
The law provides that the candi'
dates who receive the highest mum
Der of popular votes in any giver
county shall be considered to have
carried such county" and shall re-
ceive the convention two votes fol
each vote that that particular can
didate has in the lower house OF the
general assembly.
Thus. if Sumter County pOlled 1,2OO
,otes, and IT'S should be divided
equally between Harris and Howard
and HaTdwick should receive 40
votes he would carry this country.
The Neill primary law makes it
possible for the minority candidate
10 be the winner in any race where
there are three or more candidates.
Moreover it perpetuates a convention
sys en-, and it gives occasion for the
imposition of a second primary on
the people.
In the event no candidate receives
a majority of the county unit votes,
another primary will be called.
If Howa1G's candidacy therefore,
should prevent W. ]. Harris from car
rying enough counties to get ma
1ority of the county unit votes, there
will be a second race, participated in
by the two candidates who received
the highest number of county unit
votes.
This peculiar system, conceived by
Thomas E. Watson for the sole pur-
purpose of giving the country vote a
greater prestige and Importance over
the city vote, is now actually the law
of this state. 1t admirably suits
Senator Hardwick's purpose. 1t gives
him a chance, whereas under the Safe
and sane Democratic plan of giving
the election to the candidate obtain
ing the most popular votes he would
have no chance at all.
The returns from Mississippi show
that Vardaman would have been re-
elected if the Neill primary system
had prevailed in that state. Although
minority candidate, Senator Varda-
man, than whom no senator, not even
Hardwick, has been more bitter
antagonist of the administration,
would have been elected, due to the
tact that the loyal vote of the state
was divided between two candidates.
Fortunately for Mississippi, it does
not have this unfair plan, and in con-
sequence Vardaman was defeated, as
he deserved to be.
The Times-Recorder believes tina
the present campaign is going to TO-
Gus public attention on the Neill pri-
mary plan more than ever before,
and that sentiment will develop suf-
ficient to force its repeal by the next
legislature. Indeed, the repeal would
have been accomplished this year if
the opposition had been conducted by
Legislators of conspicuous ability
determined to make it vital issue.
Of course, there is no probability Of
situation like the one now existing
ever confronting Georgia again, but
the system itself is so unfair, So I'M
Democratic, so preposterous, in fact,
that it should not survive, and it
should be wiped from the statute
books as soon as the general assem-
bly, convenes again.

GERS of the German drive recon-

The battle is recognized as one of
the most crucial of the war. Should
the Germans be successful 1t would

all of the French territory which
they have grasped since spring. For

Importance OF Csmpigne Less.
The Importance of Compiegne as
q center of communication for the
allies was largely destroyed with
the fall Of Siossons. But General
Foch may be expected. allied officers
say. to use the utmost of his power
to prevent Compiegne from falling
into German hands.
The stiff resistance offered by the
allied troops to the new assault was
expected here.
The battle is described as one oi
the most clean cut tests of strength
that the war has seen since Yer
dun. The Germans have essayed
an advance that to them is i'm.

flavor to TIE reserves which Gen
Foch r'"t haze assembled directly
in the rear of this critical salient
The tactics of the Germans are
marked as similar to those they em-
ployed in Picardy and Flanders. In
both instances a disaGreeable allied
salient was created on the German
right. In Picardy this was the Arras
salient. The Allies held that despite
bitter attacks. In Flanders 1t was
the Ypres salient. and a large part
OF that the allies gave up because II
was of no special value.
Salient of Moment.
The salient which the Germans now
seek to hammer in is more important
than either OF the other two, in the
opinion of the allied officers on duty
here. German conquest of this salient
would perfectly round out the whole
Of their advance. 1t would place them
within actual striking distance of
Paris. And 1t would give them a COM
plete system Of rail communication
behind their lines, radiating to every
part.
In the sense that the offensive has
been renewed before the German
forces could possibly have had time
to reform thoroughly and recoup their
losses. yesterdays battle Is not de-
scribed as a new offensive, but as the
last stroke the Germans must drive
home before they can afford to sit
back. rest, rebuild. and prepare for
the next supreme effort.

CIVIL MISSIONS

LATEST PLAN
Restoration of Economic
Order IN This Way Is
Urged on Wilson.

Siberia is ripe for allied interven-
tion of the right sort. President
Wilson has been told. Men in
whose judgment he has heretofore
relied have laid before him a plan
whereby the allied armies would
be accompanied. by economic mis-
sions to restore order in the coun-
try as the armies march ahead.
It is further understood that the
President has been deferred from
giving his assent to these plans
gecause of the opposition Of the
State and War departments. The
state Department is understood to
70 be standing out for the observance
Of a punctilious procedure with re-
gard to Russia. The War Depart
ment is understood to be solidly
behind the "one-front' idea. and
to discourage any suggestion that
tends to weaken allied efforts on
the battlefieIds OF France.
Says Russians Expect Aid.
Those who favor Intervention re-
ceived support yesterday from the
statements of Ensign Alexander
Petrenko. once a leading ace OF the
Russian army. He arrived in Wash
ington yesterday from Vladivostok,
whittier he fled across Siberia after
the defeat OF Gen. Kaledines' Co.'S

officers of the Russian army, among
them many generals, are eagerly
awaiting at Vladivostok the allied
aid in arms which they say mtst
be furnished their country before
Russia becomes a hopeless wreck
