When Horace Greeley died

scattered most of their

as did almost all of the
Democratic electors
that year. Georgia cast six votes
for B. Gratz Brown of Missouri
and two for her own Charles J.
Tenkins. Three Georgia Elec¬
torial votes cast for the dead
Greeiey were thrown out. In
1880, there was again some ques¬
tion about Georgia’s Electorial
votes, since they had not been
cast on the day provided by law.
Again they were accepted in the
alternative manner. If the 68’
and ’80 races had hinged on them
they probably would have been
rejected. The 1904 and 1908
Presidential races of Populist
Tom Watson provided spice for
he generally one-sided picture,
"Iso. The results of the 1896
Free Silver campaign showed a
"izeable protest vote for McKin-
ey, probably against the econo¬
mic policies of Bryan. The sen¬
timent against A1 Smith in 1928,
when the religious and prohibi¬
tion issues held the spotlight,
seems the peak of the meager
past-Reconstruction opposition
to the Democratic ticket through
1944. On the state level, the
Independent and Populist chal¬
lenges of the ’80s and ’90s were
occasionally successful; but these
in -stances are exceptions to the
growth of the One-Party system.
Tt is seen that Woodrow Wilson
md Franklin D. Roosevelt receiv¬
ed overwhelming support which
averaged better than 80 percent
of the vote. In 1932, the oppo¬
sition to the Democrats in Geor¬
gia reached a post-bellum low
of less than 10 percent.

vote of the State 1868-1944 for
major candidates, blocs of Elec¬
toral votes intact for winners

returns, vary slightly.

McGILL AND THOMPSON IN
CONTROVERSY OVER THE
KLAN
Echoes of the recent state pri¬
mary reverberated in Governor! Georgia',
last week when Acting
Thompson Editor of the accused Atlanta Ralph Constitu-; McGill j
tion, of praising the Ku Klux
Klan in an interview in Louis¬
ville, Ky., and Editor McGill
lashed back at Thompson with
a strongly worded statement in
which he called the Acting Gov.
‘a contemptible liar.”
The fireworks developed when
McGill made the statement in
Louisville that Georgians thank¬
ed God that the Klan was ied
by a man cf the caliber of It.
Samuel Green because Green did
not have the ability to make
the Klan a dargerous force.
Acting Governor Thompson
then isued a statement accusing
Editor McGill of praising the
Klan.
Answering Thompson, McGill
stated that he had been a caustic
critic of the Klan for many
years, and that even the Acting
Governor had recognized this
iact wh£n he went to McGill’s
office last year to beg McGill to
write an article in the Constitu¬ J
tion to “explain” Thompson’s
attendace at a Klan rally.
Thompson lashed back at Mc¬
Gill with the flat statement that
'Ralph McGili, Roy Harris, Doc
Green and the Ku Klux Klan
teamed up in a successful move
in returning Talmadgeism to
control in Georgia politics.”
McGill then called the Acting
Governor a “contemptible liar”
and reminded Georgians of
Thompson’s pre-campaign prom¬
ise not to replace Glenn Phillips
as Revenue Commissioner, a
promise which Thompson broke.
In a series of columns in the
Constitution Editor McGill is
now “exposing the record” of
Acting Governor Thompson, and
reminding his readers of High¬
way Department negotiated con¬
tracts and other acts of the
Thompson administration which
the voters of Georgia apparently
used as a basis to overwhelming¬
ly turn their backs upon the
Acting Governor on Sept. 8.
Meanwhile, Grand Dragon
Samuel Green called the affair
a sad proposition” and said that
neither McGill nor Thompson
had ever been members of the
Klan, “as have former Gover¬
nors.”
