THEY'RE OFF
Last Saturday was the eventful day in
Georgia. The lid of the gubernatorial cam-
paign blew right off at Douglas and Miilon
Both candidates extolled the virtues virtues o
Georgians, pointed out the state s imlus
trial and agricultural potentiality . and
enumerated its various natural resource-
Both reviewed the state’s financial midi
tion, and both made similar promises U
farmers, veterans and teachers.
In closing Mr. Thompson appealed for
“a little less demagoguery and a little more
statesmanship; a little Jess bigotry and a
little more tolerance; a little less hate and
a little more love,” in concluding his speech,
As we expected, Mr. Talmadge paid
respects to the liberal “ex-governors” and
promised to carry on the work of his late
father (even to wearing the red suspen¬
ders! who, perhaps, was the country’s most
zealous and most bitter champion of ”■ bin
supremacy.” The outlook is that we shad
deluged by everything in the catalogue,
that is relevant to the discussion o!
,, "white supremacy” and civil rights. We
shall hear plenty if Mr. Talmadge’s speech
can be taken as a sign
• But the more we read about what
ern politicians say of democratic
rivil rights, state’s rights, and the Consii
tfltion of the United States, the more
question their sincerity and their intellec
tual famesty. What can you say of peo

for high office in a democratic form ol
government, who says in one breath tbai
he will protect the rights of the people,
and in the next announces his intention t

their use of the ballot? His charge that
bloc voting encourages corruption in pol
ltics is not warranted so far as Negroes ar«
concerned, certainly, if his evidence i:
ed upon experiences of the last election
for corruption in Georgia politics, prior
1946 and during the last forty or fifty-
years, and there was plenty of it, can
iye attributed to the participation Unscrupulous of N

MASONIC DEGREE
TEAM CELEBRATES
1ST ANNIVERSARY
The Masonic Degree team of
Savannah, celebrated its first
anniversary last Friday nigat at
Mount Bethel Rapt. Church,
Fahm street. The team, the
first of its kind among Masons
of Georgia has made a
able record during the past t
months, and received high praise
from the religious and civic
fields as well as from all depart
raents of the Masonic order,

Students of political campaigns in the
South will recognize this type of appeal to
voters as of the kind from which origin¬
ated the accusation that a long line of
southern politicians have ridden into office
on the back of “the old gray mare”—a built
up fear on the race question—“that ain’t
what she used to be.” It seems not to be
wishful thinking to assert that this tribe
of politicians is not increasing.
We have yet to hear from four other
candidates for the governorship. It will

LET’S LOOK AT THE RECORD
cal Twenty character, years referred ago a very popular “the Happy politi¬
to as
Warrior,” and dne time governor of New
York, used to preface a revelation he was
about to make with the words, “Let’s look
at the record.” It appears now that local
politicians have had a change of heart, in j
many respects, as to their conviction that I
some for of the men and who who have been subject in office? to J
many years are now i
the coming primary, should be goted out of,
office. Perhaps it is fair to say that it j
was thought that they were part of aj
boss ridden group, and did not think their
ovn thoughts., Also it was felt that the way
to clean government in our city was through j
ridding the city of the; old administration.!
Of course, while county officials were not!
up for election in 1946, they were consider¬
ed close to the city administration at the j
time. Many of those who were leaders
in the old administration are listed in the
councils of one of the new parties. I
However, we believe the records of the
j | county missioners officers, ami the including Judge the of County the Superior, Com-
' ourt warrant' their return to office. Wt

Commissioners have shown by their coop¬

county, and by their voluntary promotion
. »> i t wo bond elections for the benefit of our;
schools, that the welfare of the people in
the county is their chief concern. Just
this much of their record is a strong argu-i
ment in their behalf.
The Judge of the Superior Superior Court, the
Chatham County Sheriff, and the Judge
• >f the Court of Ordinary have records of
Liithlul and efficient administration of
their offices, who. should receive the sup-;
port of the voters in the primary. We Yom-!

THE BOND ELECTION
I he Bond Election to lie held next Thurs-
d v was called by the County Commission-
■ and the Board of Education, to provide
muds with which to make immediately
needed improvements and expansion in our
< in ol system. The Boa v d of Ed-
t ,-itjon has been receiving s h a r p
criticism for a long time because of the
poor physical condition of several of our
schools, and because of the crowded con-
ditien at Ilea. h-( uyler High School. We
remedied. •
The only way to provide the needed rem-
■ s is to secure the needed money through
issuing bonds. The least we ean do to ac-1
n oh h what we have been crying for is
o vote overwhelmingly for bonds. We
i in this way show our appreciation of
