THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1946
Cairoite Is District
Chairman Of County
Unit Suit Group
Announcement of Anne Mizfell,
Cairo, as second district chairman
of Georgia Veterans for Majority
Rule, state-wide committeee spon
soring the suits testing the consti¬
tutionality of the county unit sys¬
tem, was made recently by James
A. Mackay, chairman of the com
mittee.
“We dre starting a month-long
campaign for funds to finance the
suits and to conduct an education¬
al program on the county unit sys¬
tem,” Mackay stated. “We borrow¬
ed money to get the suits started.
To carry them through the U. S.
Supreme Court and to carry forward
a program interpreting the effect
of the system, we are out to raise
$40,000.
“We believe that people all over
the state will want to share these
costs, and that they will pool their
contributions to finance the suits and
our program to show the effect of
the county unit system on the votes
of Georgia people.”
Mackay, who holds the Brdnze Star
Medal for his 52 months’ service in
the Coast Guard, said he expected
the U. S. Supreme Court to hear
both cases shortly after it reconven¬
es on Oct. 3. The two suits—one to
nullify the county unit system in
state elections and the other in the
Fifth Congressional District—are
being appealed after an adverse de¬
cision by the Federal District Court
last month.
Plaintiffs in the suits are Cullen
B. Gosnell, head of the political
science department of Emory Uni¬
versity, Mrs. Robert Lee Turman, a
former president of the League of
Women Voters, and Earl P. Cook,
Georgia Tech student with a four
and-a-half-year war record.
“Those of us sponsoring the suits
have opposed the county unit sys¬
tem for a long time on the grounds
that it obstructs the will of the ma¬
jority”, declared Mackay, who is the
son of Dr. E. G. Mackay, pastor of
Glenn Memorial Methodist Church.
“We did not have specific grievance,
however, until in the July primary
the governor-nominee and the nomi¬
nee for Congress from the Fifth Dis¬
trict received less popular votes than
their opponents. The suits now be¬
ing appealed are, in effect, an ap¬
peal for political democracy in Geor¬
gia, and we ask all those Georgians
who agree with us to help us pay
their cost. Contributions in the
form of checks should be payable
to Calvin Kytle, Treasurer.”
Georgia Veterans for Majority
Rule have set up a control office
at 804 Forsyth Building, Atlanta.
Serving with Mackay on the Central
Committee, besides Kytle, are James
M. Crawford, Elizabeth Penn Ham¬
mond, and Richard T. Brooke.
District Chairmen include: Alex¬
ander Heard, Savannah, first district;
Anne Mizell, Cairo, second district;
Carl P. Savage, Jr., Montezuma,
third district; Allen F. Colley, Grant
ville, fourth district; Richard T.
Brooke, Atlanta, fifth district; Phil¬
ip Cox, Macon, sixth district; Frank
M. Gleason, Rossville, seventh dis¬
trict; Holland Mangum, Gainesville,
ninth district; Wallace Hunnicutt,
Augusta, tenth district.
Campus Chairmen are Sue Mead
ers, Atlanta, Agnes Scott College;
Edward Hosch, Gainesville, Emory
University; Henry Pike, Savannah,
Georgia School of Technology; Edith
Lewis, Vidalia, Georgia State Col¬
lege for Women; Wilbur McCallist
er, Statesboro, Georgia State Teach
ers College; Philip Cox, Macon, Mer
cer University; Phillip Lorenz, At¬
lanta, Oglethorpe University; Nancy
Rawls, Atlanta, Shorter College;
George Doss, Canton, University of
Georgia.
