...now known as the "Democratic Party" in Georgia it was known as the "Democrat" party.

The local Committee was named the "Ch..... County Democrat Club".

Some people in the Democratic Party now still refer it to the "Democrat Party".

I have been told that it was Governor Eugene Talmadge who recommended that Georgians refer to our party as "Democratic", like the rest of the country.

And in North Georgia (where I now live)it is common for radio announcers to use the old name.

When I recently told one that some people are offended by that he replied, "Some people are offended by most everything".
