 The Governor Elects plan is to get around the Supreme Court edct that Negroes have right to in Democratic primaries. To do tnls ne proposes aboishing the state primary. Instead of a primary vote supervised and policed by the state, Tamadge plans to run private primary poiced by his own political organization

 There would be no control the ballot boxes, over the counting of the votes anything ese-ex- cept the control laid down by Gene Talmadge. Under such plan the new governor of Georgia plans to have free" elections
 In other words like Hitler, Talmadge gets into power opposition party could ever stop hlm. No better pattern for Fascism ever was oeVlsed ln the U.S.A.
 Already Harman Talmadge. the Governors son, is preparing to run either for the u B. senate or 10 succeed his father
 And vet Talmadge is elected to office, by minor ity vote!

James " Carmichael who was backed by Governor Arnall nearly 5000 votes ahead of him in popu- lar votes getting the biggest vote polled by eubernatorial candidate in Georgia, 3l4421 to MT. Talmadges 305,750. He was defeated by the antique county unit system peculiar to Georgia.
 The combined vote against Mir Talmadge nearly to 3. It 96001 to 305,777 counting in the votes of the other two candidate One of them, Carmichael in number of counties to throw their unit vote to Gene Talmadge and elect him.
 But there were other encouraging signs.
 The labor and Negro vote were factors in three feated the veteran Rep. Tarver in the seventh dis trct where the CIO. recently has got foothold in industries Ironically he led in popular votes, but lost through the county unit system that won for Talmadge.
 Labor also was factor in the defeat of Rep. Gibson in the eighth district by young veteran, w. M Wheeler, who disclaimed C.IO. support. Mir. Wheeler nevertheless through the votes of labor in Valdosta Waycross and Brunswick where in- dustry changed the voting complexion of the district
 Rep. Helen Douglas Mankin, who had the support of labor and Negroes got the biggest popular vote in the fifth district in which Atlanta located but lost because of the county unit system She is contesng the election
 For many years, during the incumbency of her predecessor, Rep. RamSpeck, the popular vote made the determinant by the district committee which however, reversed itself in order to defeat her in the primary. She named new district committee which ruled for popular vote decision and it will be question of which committee is recognized. If she loses the contest she may independent in the November election.
 So forces did assert themselves in Georgia in this election in the labor and Negro vote. Gene Talmadge has announced that he intends to restore the white primary despite the edict of the Supreme Court against it. That would eliminate the Negro vote which almost defeated him

PENNY CANDY

With the nickel ice cream cone threatened because of the high cost of doing business, youngsters have now been dealt a body blow with the announcement that penny candy is virtually unobtainable. A survey by the magazine Business Week shows that in the past year the manufacturers value of penny can dy was only percent of the total against a high of l5 percent in the pre-war years. And of course the children are not the only ones who miss their penny candy. Many adults, too, are regular consumers

Southern Reaction

ATLANTA-The pity for the South and the na- tion of the Gene Talmadge victory is that it aged and emboldened the forces of reaction and prejudice that beginning to recede, especially coming top of Senator Bilbos victory in Misssv- sippi
 The Georgia election though local contest for governor, watched all over the country as key election on the racial and economic issues, just the recent primaries in Minnesota and Montana were observed for clues the international cooperation issue.
 Progress won in Minnesota and Montana, while the trend in the two Southern elections was back ward, at least as of now.
 The immediate effects of the Rlbo Tamadee victories, it seems are:
 l. To stiffen the resistance of the big and yet unorganized Southern industrialists the current organizing drive of C.IO and A.FL, for both Sen ator Bilbo and Gene Talmadge are vigorously anti labor particularly anti-CIO. (In Georgia these in- terests poured considerable money into the Talmadge campaign, and had their smartest political minds at workJ
 ?. To stimulate, at least temporarily. the revived Ku Klux Klan in Georgia and the Southeast which was beginning to Wlther aWay~ under the blows of Gov Ellis Arnall and the Federal Government. Gene Talmadge was the Klan candidate.
 3. To encourage the Southern Conservative die hard bloc in Congress in it's hitherto successful paign against federal anti-poll legislation and social legislation needed in the South than anywhere else
 However, the situation in the South is not so dark for progresSivism the Bilbo-Talmadge victories might indicate at first glance. deeper analysis veals hopeful factors work, even in the Georgia election, that eventually will themselves de- spite the Bilbos and the Tamadges. Politicians might do well to consider them.
 For example Senator Bilbo barely won over his combined opposition in Mississippi and just escaped run-off which might have proved disastrous. Gene Talmadge minority winner. His chief opponent

 MT. Harry Crowl, real estate man from Iowa, was appreciat- i've of the warmth and generosity of Alaskans everywhere.
 Chaplain John Chalker spoke briefly about his trip to Nome and his plans for the coming years to be spent in Alaska.
