Some Demos
In Quandary
Over GOP
Many top-ranking Democrats
in Georgia and throughout the
South, as well as some in other
sections of the country, obviously
are in a quandary over the ap
proaching presidential election.
Here's why: For the first time
in some 30 years the Republican
Party has abandoned its “me
too” position in challenging the
Democrats for control of the
White House.
This year, American voters
will have a clear-cut choice
when they go to the polls. They
will decide (1) whether they
want a continuation of liberal
ism in running the federal gov
ernment or i 2) whether they
want a return to conservatism
in official Washington
There are growing signs, par
ticularly in Georgia and the
South, that an increasing num
ber of voters prefer the latter.
And this presents a problem
for many Southern politicians in
the Democratic Party. A few of
them already have switched to
the GOP side. But most of them
haven’t—a n d probably won’t.
But even so, it still leaves some
of them in a predicament.
For example, they don’t feel
that they can, in good con
science, actively support the Na
tional Democratic Party’s ultra
liberal philosophy. Neither do
they feel they can openly bolt
their party and support the GOP
candidate, even though his
philosophy more nearly fits
their own.
What then will these influ
ential Democrats do during the
upcoming campaign? Likely
nothing. Evidence that this may
well be the case is seen in a
statement by Georgia’s U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge on
the upcoming presidential elec
tion. Said he:
“I have always been a Demo
crat. I expect to remain a Demo
crat. I have not been requested
to make any speeches for the
party and have no plans to do
so.
"I will continue to vote on
each and every measure in ac
cordance with my judgment in
the best interests of my country
and state.”
Meanwhile, Gov. Carl E. San
ders, who fought the recently
passed administration-sponsored
civil rights bill with testimony
before a Senate committee, is
preparing to lead Georgia’s 117-
member intergrated delegation
to the Democratic National Con
vention in Atlantic City Aug. 24.
Sanders said he appointed
four Negroes to the Georgia del
egation because “this is not a
social club This is purely a po
litical organization, based on the
fact that every voter should be
represented.”
Both Gov. Sanders, who will
serve as chairman of the con
vention’s Rules Committee, and
State Democratic Party Chair
man J. B, Fugua predict that
President Lyndon B. Johnson,
soon to be nominated, will win
over Arizona Sen. Barry Gold
water in the November election.
Both said they believe Georgia
will—as it always has—go Dem
ocratic. But they concede that
as of the moment it could be a
close race in the state.
Education, .even if secured to
several degrees, will not solve all
of life's problems.
The Offices...
I h<‘ Candidates...
CORONER
The coroner is concerned with death.
Death under unusual circumstances . . . “as a result of
violence, or by suicide, or by casualty, or suddenly when in ap
parent health, or when unattended by a physician, or in any
suspicious or unusual manner,” says the law.
The coroner, the peace officer involved and the medical
examiner (a doctor so designated) form a team of three check
ing into such a situation. It may be found that no inquest is
needed or it may be found otherwise.
Many persons confuse the terms “post mortem examination,”
“inquest” and “autopsy”.
“Post mortem examination” is simply an examination of the
body by the medical examiner and peace officer and does not
include any dissection. “Autopsy” means the dissection of a
body for the purpose of determining the cause of death and cir
cumstances surrounding it. The term “inquest” is used to mean
an official judicial inquiry before a coroner and a coroner’s jury.
Here are some details of the specific duties of the coroner:
The coroner must be notified by the peace officer or other
person having knowledge of the death when there are unusual
circumstances as mentioned earlier.
The coroner then takes charge of the dead body and it is
his duty to call the medical examiner and proper peace officer
if they havn’t already-been called. Together, they investigate and
their findings are written up and filed with the Director of the
State Crime Laboratory on report forms from that laboratory.
Under the following circumstances, no inquest should be
held:
If the peace officer and medical examiner are satisfied that,
even if violence was involved, there was no foul play; when there
were one or more competent eye witnesses even if death did re
sult from foul play; when there is no demand for an inquest
within 30 days after the filing of the death certificate; when the
medical examiner and peace officer are sufficiently satisfied
that death resulted from natural causes; if, in case of hidden
cause of death there is no evidence of foul play and if the at
tending physician will sign the death certificate;
There must be an inquest, after proper reports are filed with
the State Crime Laboratory, in cases of death of any inmate of
a state hospital or state, county or city penal institution.
There must be an inquest when it is ordered by a court
having criminal jurisdiction.
If the body is not in a convenient place for holding a post
mortem examination and/or autopsy, it must be moved to a
suitable place and if neither the medical examiner nor peace of
ficer is immediately available, the coroner must take charge of
the moving.
When an inquest is deemed lawful and necessary, the coroner
must issue subpoenas to witnesses and he must administer to
them the following oath: “The evidence that you shall give this
inquest on behalf of the state, touching the death of — ,
shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
So help you God.”
The coroner must make out a “precept” or an order to the
sheriff or any constable having jurisdiction, requiring him to
summon a jury of inquest. The jurors are chosen from the grand
jury and/or traverse jury lists of the last term of Superior Court.
The jury must include five persons and each is paid $3. If the
services of the sheriff or constable cannot be conveniently ob
tained the coroner may summon the jury himself.
The coroner must administer oaths to the formeman of the
jury and to the other members. He then must charge the jurors,
pointing out that they must decide whether the person died by
murder, manslaughter, misadventure, misfortune, accident, or
otherwise: and who. and when and by what means and in what
manner; if by murder, who were principals and who were ac
cessories, if by manslaughter, who were the perpeturators and
with what instrument the stroke or wound was given; whether
lie died in the same place the body was found or elsewhere; if
the deceased put an end to his life, to inquire of the manner,
means used or instrument employed and the circumstances, con
cerning it, etc.
Evidence must be presented to the jury.
No coroner’s jury can be impaneled until the investigation
is completed and copies of the reports of the medical examiner
and peace officer in charge are received by the coroner. The
jury is not required to view the body.
The coroner is paid $25 when called on a case and another
$25 if an inquest is held.
