Leader’s Eleven Issues For
City Primary Race Answered
(Editor's Note On April 2 the Lcadet. in an editorial
based on numerous interviews with voteis here, presented what it
consideied the 11 basic issues in the mayor’s tace in Orange this
>ear The editorial suggested the three candidates give the voteis
.then views on these issues No method of presentation of the can-
didates' replies was suggested. Later the incumbent seeking lerlect-
ion. Mayor Raymond Sandeis. offered to publish his answers and
invited the other two candidates to join hnn The leader published
, the invitation and supplemented it with personal lettei s to t ie oth-
er t*o Joe Runnels- Jr. and Leroy Engdahl, oflering them an op-
portunity to join in the discussion Neithn Runnels nor Engdahl
replied to the letters As a puulu service the Leader is presenting,
one at a time, Sanders' views on the 11 issues Others will appear
daily until the series ends The publication constitutes neithei an
endoi seinent noi a rejection of the mayor's candidacy for rcelect-
pon So far as the Leader is concerned, it is up to the voters to de-
cide on the basis of the information they obtain by this source and
otherwise, to pick this city’s next mayor. Following is today's
question and answer )

enable you to discharge those duties'

office of mayor of the City of Orange are: First, the executive

to see that they carry out theii duties in an eftu .mt. serviceable
manner Second, by having the educational backgiound and busi-

• Orange does not owe any money at this time except for cu rent
expenses anu the bonded indebtedness which was voted by the tax
payeis from time to time. This is being retired as fast as it becomes
due The mayor of the City of Orange should tie a representative

interests of all. This I have done during the entire three and one

COURT OKAYS
GEORGIA’S UNIT
VOTE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON. April 17
(AP)— Georgia’s hotly disput-
ed county unit election system
weathered a Supreme court
test today.
The tribunal affirmed a lower
court decision which had the ef-
fect of upholding the legalltv of
the Georgia system
The Supreme court's action was
announced in an unsigned opinion
The vote was 7-2.
Justice Douglas wrote » dis-
senting opinion with Justice
Black concurrn*.
That meant the majoi ity was
composed of Chief Justice Vinson
and Associated Justices Reed
Frankfurter Jackson, Burton.
Clark and Minton.
Critics of the system call it a
unique piotectoi of rural political
power in Georgia and an im|X>i- j
tant factor in the entrenched
forces of Gov Herman Talmadge.

asked the Supreme court to in- |

“If the Georgia count) unit
