Negroes Set For Primary In Georgia Voting Surge
ATLANTA July 9 The prospect of mass suffrage including a large Negro vote for the first time in the deep south has spurred unprecedented interest in Georgia's gubernatorial primary next week. Registration closed with about 1,000,000 Georgians on the books. Only about 1,000 Negroes are registered and will vote in the white primary. The shift follows Georgia reducing the voting age from 21 to 18, the first state to do so.
