Of the reputation Of the party and
the success Of the Government In the

support Of Mr.. Harris"
Harris subsequently was elected.
With one month remaining until
this years Democratic primary on
September IA, political observers were
watching for potential new alignments
growing out Of the developments at
GAINESVILLE.
County Unit System.
The increased tension in the four
man contest revived speculation as
to the possible effect of Georgia's
unique county unit voting system on
the outcome.
Former Gov. Eugene Talmadge,
whom the President declared un-
acceptable for the Senate along with
George, forecast splitting of votes
and indicated he believed the unit
system might work in his favor.
The system was adopted many years
ago as . Democratic party rule and
finally was incorporated in the State
primary law of 1917. remaining in
force despite sporadic attempts to
abolish 1t.
The unit plan gives to each county
twice as many unit votes as the coun-
ty has representatives in the Legis-
lature-a total of 40 units. The
eight largest counties have SIX unit
votes each, the next 80 in sizes have
four each, and II counties two each.
A candidate receiving the highest
number of popular votes in 4 county
wins its Unit vote. Failure Of any
one candidate to get majority Of the
units throws the two high men into
. runod primary.
Opponents Of the system have fought
it on the ground that it gives the
of power to the smaller rural
counties. now far out-numbered in
population by the urban centers. Un-

Low Bids For Mail Contracts
 Made Public

Bids for carrying the mails in the Territory on the steamboat and power-boat routes and the Star Routes during the fiscal years 1889, 194O and 194l, were opened by the Post Office Depart ment December IS. There has not yet been suffiient time to make complete analysis of the bids as yet, and until this has been done the Department does not expect to announce the award of contracts on any of the routes.
 When the bids were opened the following figures were obtained, showing the apparent low bidder on each route and the amount of the bid. However, it must be em- phasized that the information has not ben verified and may con- tain errors. It should also be re- membered that the low bid is not a certain indication that the con- tract will be awarded to that bid der, because some of the contracts contain clauses that may not be complied with by all bidders.
