DEAN FOR MEMBERS OF COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE BLOCH WARNS STATE TO KEEP PRIMARY LAWS Macon, July 7—Warning Georgia voters of future complete dicta torial control of elections in this state if the primary laws are weakened, Charles Bloch, Macon attorney, told the Carmichael-for- Governor Club at Macon that Tal- madge wants to repeal these laws “so that he may rule the party and through the party control our pri mary system.” If the laws are repealed, or the South Carolina plan advocated by Talmadge adopted, declared Bloch “whoever is in control of the party machinery could control the pri mary.” This breakdown of the primary system without legal regulation, continued the speaker, would mean that the successful candidate for governor could take complete con trol of all elections. “He could bar Negroes from the primary, but by the same token, he could dt^ermine what whites could participate by any standard his mind evolved—their sex, their age, their religion, their ownership of property, the place of their birth, their political beliefs,” as serted Bloch. “The state executive committee could adopt a rule forbidding citi zens between the ages of 18 and 21 to vote,” he stated, “and it could adopt a rule permitting only male citizens to vote.” “If Talmadge is elected and carries out his plans, he will tell you in the future whether or not you may vote and under what conditions,” Bloch declared. I The Macon attorney is consid ered one of the best informed persons in Georgia on the primary laws, having represented the state Democratic Executive Committee in the recent Primus King case, contesting the right of the Negro to vote. The case went to the Su preme Court. With reference to the race issue, Bloch said, “Virginia, North Caro lina, Kentucky and Tennessee are mighty good Southern states. Ne groes have been voting in those states for many years. There is no more social equality in any one of them than there is in Georgia or Mississippi, and there won’t be any in Georgia either under Jimmie Carmichael.” HALF OF AUTOS ON HIGHWAYS ARE UNSAFE, SAYS STATE PATROLMEN Atlanta, July 8—A check of au tomobiles in Georgia has shown that 50 per cent of those on the highways are unsafe, the Georgia State Patrol reported Monday. In announcing the report, Major W. E. Spence, commissioner or Public Safety, said he favored steate legislation compelling driv ers of defective automobiles to hame them repaired. “This is the only way we will be able to reduce the slaughter or our highways,” he added. Troopers checking 32,882 auto mobiles from May 15 to June 23 found 16,257 unsafe, Spence said. Taylor County Citizen!
