Georgia's state primary which will
nominate United States senator, 4
governor. state house officers and
several judges of the higher courts
will take place Wednesday. In case
no candidate for governor or sena-
tor should receive majority of the
county unit votes, turnover will be
held on October s, under provisions
of the Neill primary law. The reg
ular state convention will be held
in Macon on date to be fixed by
the state executive committee fol-
lowing the state primary.
Each of the three candidates for
senator and the three for governor
is claiming nomination on the first
showdown, and it would not be "a
remarkable circumstance should one
or both of the races be decided in
the first primary, provided the dis
tribution of voting strength is favor
able to any one of the six. How
ever, all have developed general
strength and very few people believe
that a second primary on the first
Wednesday in October will be avert
ed
1t may be stated authoritatively
that not one of the six will be a
"poor third" in popular votes, al
though such might be the case with
county unit strength which his impos-
sible to forecast accurately owing to
the closeness of the races in some
counties.
Tt is generally conceded that there
will be more than 100000 votes cast,
the largest number in the history of
the state, even if women do not par
ticipate. Some sections are prepar-
ing to hold separate ballot boxes for
the latter sex, and reports are rife
that in certain localities, local man
ayers will disregard the instructions
of the state executive committees:
