White Primary Big Issue
In Governor's Race—
Greene County Editor Lauds Talmadge's Stand
Insofar as the people of Greene County are concerned, the white
primary is the most important issue in the gubernatorial campaign
of Georgia.
Greene County has a population of approximately 13,500 people.
whi t e peo p 1 e
w hile the colored pay about 2%.
In the recent war. Greene Coun
ty furnished around 1300 men to
the service. Of this number, 850
wore white and 450 colored.
Therefore, by government fig
ures. if the white people of the
county are to furnish more num
bers to the fighting forces in a
tune of emergency despite that
they are of a smaller population
than the colored race, and that
they must pay practically all of
the tar burden, it seems fair and
logv-al to us that they should have
the deciding voice in matters of a
political nature.
Hie army authorities rejected
crn. co | orcf j draftees
sent from this county to the war.
If the government is to say that
they are too illiterate to be of
soivice to the nation when every
man. woman and child is needed
’n war. it seems to us out of the
realms of consistency for the same
government to empower the same
Peonle with the ballot and give
them the control over the political
destinies of our county.
There is no way to judge the
future except bv the past. During
the reconstruction era in Greene
County following the War Be
tween the States, the colored
another was given the ballot. A
colored man named Colsby was
elected from Greene County to
V 3 * 6 legislature.
Colsby was shot and killed one
eight. T7is murderer was never
a Pprehended.
(Reprinted from Greensboro Herald-Journal) *
Vote for Talmadge July 17
(Hear Talmadge Talk— WSß— Mon., 6:30; Saf., 4:00)
If given the ballot, we don’t say
that another Negro will be elected
to the Legislature from Greene
County.
But we do say with a colored
block of votes of two thousand or
more, it will soon be where a
Sheriff, a Solicitor General, or
Superior Court Judge might
waiver in his duty before enforc
ing some law.
Consequently, some hooded and
secret order such as the Ku Klux
Klan will ride again, and all power
acquired by the ballot will be lost
by terrorism.
The white politician will endea
vor to line-up these votes in coun
ty primaries and when thrown
against his alignment, there is
bound to be consequences for
which the individual Negro will
pay as the result of disgruntled
white politicians.
If California has the right to
have a law keeping a Japanese
from owning property, it seems to
us that Georgia can have a white
primary.
The Herald-Journal endeavors
to be fair to all races and creeds.
We h avo never preached class
haired and never will. We have
opposed bands of terrorists and
will continue to do so.
We think “jim-crow" liberals
are doing the Negro more harm
than good by pushing him for
ward in politics.
Among those candidates an
nouncing for governor, we think
that Ex-Governor Talmadge will
be more likely than any of the
others to sec that Georgia retains
the while primary. Talmadge has
away of keeping his promises.
In a political way. the white
primary will have much to do
with the future of our black
bclt” county.
So the Herald-Journal in the
forthcoming primary casts its Jot
with Talmadge and the white
primary!
