THE COLUMBUS LEDGER EN-
QUIRER in a second editorial en-
dorsing the right Of Negroes to
vote-said: "Since we have felt
for some time that qualified
Georgia Negroes have every moral
right to participate in Democratic
primaries we are neither surprised
nor alarmed at the unanimous op-
inion of the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals in the case of Primus
E. King The truth is that the

"Of late, we have wondered if
it would not be a good idea to pc;

this would insure that the whites
would take full advantage OF their

editorial anticipating the courts
ruling, said: 1T is doubtful that
the courts will sustain an exclusive

people of Georgia are afraid that
Negroes will become the determin-
ing factor in our elections, it might
be that the real solution would be
for more white voters to so to the
polls"
Following the announcement of

quoted leading lawyers opinion
that any election manager who
refuses a Negro the right to vote
