Regardless of the candidate’s wishes, his platform or the results, the people of Georgia will hencefor ward demand white primaries. This is the only solution of the Negro iu in politics and always guarantees the selection of more competent officials from governor down. This might be taken as a gentle reminder to the wary politicians who are beginning to bob serenely up over the state.
