CAN'T UNDERSTAND

Jefferson and Mobile counties have aI- ways been democratic and a democratic ounty like Montgomery does not under
 and how democrats can go into pri- nary and assist in choosing a nominee
 nd then vote against that nominee in he general election.
 Certain it is that this matter must be 'threshed out by the state democratic ex1 ecutive committee before the next prl- mary In the past the rules of the party have been that any person who voted against the democratic nominees in the preceding general election should be de- nied the right of participation in the pri- mary The state committee decided to change the rules for the primary May II because of new conditions and permit ted any person to participate who would support the nominees in the general elec- ton, participation being accepted as a pledge of support for the ticket in sucn general election.
 Democrats here now believe the rules should be frightened They are insisting that democratic primary is for demo- cratic voters and that independents, re- puhlicans and whatnots must not be per nitted to tell the democrats whom their nominees should be. It is pointed out that republicans and independents, under the lax rules, may go into the primary and vote for the weakest persons, knowing that such persons could not survive the general election.

secret among all political parties that the republicans had the advantage which could not be overcome by the democrats. If the election had gone against the dem ocratic ticket nationally and the returns of the election told no other story. all would have been well.
 But the abandonment of the democratic ticket by democrats in the democratic state of Alabama has been the cause of the serious thinking. Few persons know that the democrats who voted in the pri- mary and then voted against the ticket in the general election violated their own sacred pledge made to themselves, the state democratic executiv committee and the other participants in the primary.
 The state committee exacted a pledge of every person who cast a ballot in the pri- mary May II. This pledge was that tbe democratic nominees would be favored in the general election. There is much evil dence now that some of those who have taken a leading part in the councils of the democratic party have violated this pledge and have gone into the councils of the republican and independent parties It IS not written that those who broke away from democracy this time intended to remain away for all time, but instead the general opinion is that the change was intended only as a protest against cer- tain nominees. However. democrats who placed the cross mark under the demo- cratic emblem in compliance with the pledge they made to the democratic party do not understand that the gen eral election was the proper place to make tba proteSf

JEFFERSON RESULTS CITED

Results of the election in Jefferson county are being cited as an instance or the disregard of pledges to party mace by some who participated in the demo- cratic primary Jerry Gwin was nomr mated for membership on the Jefferson county board of revenue by great ma jority, leading the entire ticket. A month before the general election the grand jury made report criticizng MY. Gv-iu and requesting his resignation. Ger tain democrats met and attempted 10 put out an independent candidate. They failed to find a person strong enough to win whose conscience could be warped to meet political expediency. They are supposed to have found one democrat wno was willing to sacrifice the democratlc party for the sake of the office, but ms Jumping in didn't cause a ripple in tho political puddle
 So the independent democrats who had voted in the primary turned to the re- publican nominee in the general election. voting for him as a protest against MT. C;win, Mir Gwin won by a good majority but the history of democratic Jefferson as written last Tuesday shows that a normal democratic majority of 10000 or more has dropped to little more than .
