Georgia's Affair

Eugene Talmadge won nomination
for a fourth term as governor Of
Georgia by reason of the county unit
system of choosing candidates in
that State. Foes OF Talmadgc have
now risen up 10 call the system
antiqua;cd. but little was ever
heard of such objections until Il
considerable number of those OPP
posing the red-gallowsed campaign
or had lost. Nor would they be moi
lerins now had this same system
favored their candidate.
Talmadge is far from being our
own ideal of a governor. At the same
time. Georgia people chose him by
the legal method in vogue there.
and a method which they and their
Governor Arnall did not change III
the new State Constitution adopted
at the polls a few years ago. They
approved the plan then without
question, including Arnalls sanction,
as he was one of the leaders in
framing the modcrnistic organic
law code. whereas the man he back
cd in last weeks primary had Il
popular vote majority. But the win
ncr is determined by majority of
county units carried, and Taimadge
had that margin and hence is tho
victor.
The county unit system is very
similar TO the electoral college
whereby presidents of the United
States are chosen. Difference is that
in the electoral college states have
voting power based on population,
whereas'in Georgia each county has
an equal vote whether the popula-
ton be large or small.
Those who denounce Georgia for
following this plan of making nomi-
nations and deciding elections
can with little grace support the
national electoral college set-up
which has prevailed in the United
States since the foundation of TIM
republic, and has never been oues-
toned or seriously opposed until III
recent years when the large centers,
with their predominant left-win2.

because they we're not able to deter

desired. The Georgia element now
turning against the county unit sys-
tenn is not communistic, apparently,
but its animosity grows out of its
defeat, and only that.
1t is not a very favorable example
