REPLY TO “COMMENT ON RE
CENT COUNTY PRIMARY' ’
Mr. Editor;
Please give space to this reply
to what I consider a very unjust
attack upon me personally, in your
article under the above heading in
your last weeks .editorials.
After having been chairman of
| the Denioratic Executive <'olll
- since the organization of
the county of Barrow and of the
party in the county, 1 resigned at
the Mass meeting this year and
Mr. K. <). Boss elected and 1 elect
ed as Committeeman from House’s
district. As Mr. Boss was in the
Ordinary’s race, at bis rather ur
gent request and with the consent
of the other committeemen, I re
luctantly agreed to act as vice
chairman until after the primary
election.
\Ye prepared and had printed
the official ticket for the primary
on white paper as usual, and in
cluded thereon all candidates lor
office running in the primary, al
ter everything was prepared for
holding the election and on Sat
urday preceding the election on
Tuesday, my attention was called
by the secretary of the committee
to the following:
Georgia Laws 1919, Page 349.
“Sec. 147. Terms of County
Superintendents. The term of ot
fice of County Superintendent of
Schools in each and every county
of the state of Georgia shall begin
with the Frst day of January. 1913
and terminate with the Erst, day
of January 1917. and that said
County Superintendent of Schools
shall he elected for a term of four
years as now provided by law at
the same time and place as State
and County officers, provided, if
there is in this county one or more
independent school system not un
der the supervision of the county
superintendent, the voters of such
independent system of system
shall not vote in the election for
county Superintendent (Capital
mine)' the term of office of all
county superintendent ot schools
beguiling duiingt.be year 19V’.
shall continue untill the first day
of January 1917. or until their
successors are elected and qua r
fici as is now provided by law.
The provision in capitals above
was only enacted and incorporated
in this section of the school law of
the State by the last legislature
and same bad never fallen under
my notice Ufore. It is the plain
law under which we live, and just
as much in force as any statute in
the Code, until repealed or. set a
side by the proper authorities.
y-nv this law mid not the t
ir g chairman of the executive com
mittee” as you charge, prohibited
“the voters of Winder from part
ticipation in the election of super
intendent” and i can see no “in
justice” in enforcing the law, by
the managers of 1 lie eh lion. Ido
not know how other counties may
have conducted similar elections.
1 have heard from none in which
there was a contest and this issue
raised. Managers were selected
to hold the primary.but some were
late and I was sworn in as one, we
read over this law and all agreed
that citizens of Winder were pro
hibited from voting in tlie County
School Superintendent’s race and
so' informed the voters as they
came in to vote. Foreseeing that
such action might he taken hy the
managers l had ordered printed a
pink colored ticket that might he
easily distinguished for the use of
Winder voters on which ticket the
School Superintendent candidates,
names did not appear 1 thought,
and still think, that the simplest
way to reach the matter and pre
vent illegal voting. After learn
ing of this law. I made efforts to
find if it had been set aside in any
way, or if the Atty. Ceneral had
made a ruling that it was not
sound law, but got no such infor
mation.
1 tried to get the candidates for
this office to agree to let the vot
ers of Winder participate in the
election, lmt one refused to do so
and said he would abide hy what
the law said and the ruling made.
This law being the regularly
enacted law of the State and bind
ing in primaries as well as in gen
eral elections, there was no alter
native for the managers hut to en
force it, under their oaths. To
have allowed Winder voters to
vote, unchallenged, for ’ county
Supt. of Schools would have been
participation in an illegal elect
ion and inviting a contest in the
courts, with the possibility of
prosecution to follow.
The managers were all citizens
of Winder, had tin ir choice in
this race and would have been
glad to express such choice at the
polls and to allow all others to do
so, but felt they were forbidden
by the law (and not the acting
chairman) from so doing.
Cliis in v law has as its basis.
Hie rigid .f those govern- to
have (he choice of the one t > gov
ern. and net to ha . him placed
over them ' y those over v lmm tie
has no supervision, cud it seems a
jus l provision.
11 was unfortunate thin the •avi
didates am? their tYmnds H I not
kn w of t r statute earlic in Ihe
campaign and so have been aide
to have m re through! r cauvascd
the outlyin. - districts of the eoim
but no blame for tli lack of
km wledgo on this p )iul can at-
U k to the managers'of He elect
n . and ti shon il not he dung
ed with unfairness.
Tt was hard for me not to be al
lowed to vote for my friend of
many years and near neighbor, but
it is harder still to have it said I
was unfair to him and to bear
the criticisms of those who have
been my friends and should lie
such still.
Mv loyalty is first In my maker
and his cause, second to my coun
try and its laws, then to my fami
ly and my friends and through it
all, to myself and my conscience
and 1 could not have acted other
wise.
Your friend and fellow-citizen,
