White Backlash, Larger Negro Vote Evident ATLANTA (UPI) — Georgia vot ers apparently no longer abide by the political book of rules when it comes to elections. This was proven this week in the state’s Democrat and Repib lican primaries when the voters tossed aside the book en route to the polls and did some things no one expected. Wha't happened, if nothing else is a vivid if somewhat confused picture of the general political up heaval in the South these days The primaries, of course, told only part of the story. The rest will come in the general election Factors Emerge However several things emerged clearly as a result of the primar ies: 1. There is a white backlash vote in the South as well as ‘he north where Alabama Gov. Georgia C. Walluce first unearthed it. 2. Negro voters in large south ern cities are more powerful that ever before and unlike the genera: Negro picture in the South as r whole, they vote in btocks. ■3. Right now, not tomorrow ft nej?t month, the Democrats #11 have to start fighting hard ft carry their once solid South ir the November presidential election 4. The two-party system In the South Is here to stay. All these changes may work some hardship on the voter. For the ! first time, Georgia voters had to decide what they were — Repub licans or Democrats. They could n’t vote in both, or cast votes hi ther and yon. Voters Confused This annoyed and Gonfused many of them. The Atlanta Journal, in an edi torial, put it this way: "On Wed nesday, voters took part in Re publican or Democratic primaries. On Nov 3 comes the election. This has been a date ignored here ex cept in presidential years, for the Democratic primary has been the thing that counted. An era died here on Wednesday. Another was born and it is difficult to see how it can fail to be an Improvement on the past.” / A Liquor Trials On At Benson A group of alleged liquor viola tore arrested in investigation con ducted by undercover agents were being tried in Benson court today.
