DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
ELECTION. 1906
Previous to the election of
1906 all nominations of the Denm-
ocratic party for state offices
had been made in convention.
This campaign was the first held
under the Terrell election law.
which required the Democratic
party (as the law was first
passed) to provide for a two-
fold system for nomination of
state and district officers. The
primary election was held. but
the convention vote of each
county was to be prorated among
the several candidates for each
office on the basis of the pri-
mary election vote for such can-
didates in each of such counties.
The popular vote for Gov-
ernor in the primary of 1906
was as follows:
Thomas M. Campbell.... 90,345
M. . Brooks ......... 70,064
O. B. Colquitt ......... 68,529
Charles K. Bell........ 65,168
Total vote........... 294,106
The law required the eonven-
tion to drop the low man at the
end of each ballot and author-
ized each county delegation to
prorate the released vote among
the other candidates according
to its choice. On the first con-
vention ballot the prorated vote
was Campbell 213.345. Colquitt
169.934, Bell 163.367 and Brooks
156.318. Brooks was dropped and
Colquitt withdrew Bell also
withdrew after finlshling, but

sults of the second ballot, which
