Fortson, Jr. Secre of State Room 214 State Capitol Atlanta, Ceorgia 303334 Dear Nir, Seorstary? Sinee a resolution of the General Asseubly of Georgia (ceorgia Lawe, 1965, pp. 765-~767) has proposed an amend< ment to the Constitution of the State of Jeorgia, dealing with the subject matter of write-in voting, and will be voted upon by the electorate im the eneuing election om the 8th day of Movember next, the ratification of the same could possibly be enterpre ' to apply to any write-in votes that may be cast in such next general election. the writer's intention to cast a write-in vete lection for the office of Governor of the 103" bd © * ath wd f sr pad j F I on a writ basis im the said election. same time the writer will vote against the rati- fication of such proposed amendment, which was rejected in substantially the same terme in the Gemeral Aleotion of 1962, being of the conviction that the proscription intended by page 2 ~ Homoreble Ben W. Fortaon, Jv., Secretary of State - Got. 1, 1966 Speaker Smith has demonstrated himself te be the best vote getter of the current eecason ani by the vote that has been aceoried him in the Democratic run-off primary the electorate therein has by reason of the circumstances, of necessity, found him to be well qualified to serve as the Governor of the State, if called upon for such service. The writer sincerely believes that voting by write-in for Speaker Smith for Covernor afforde the best solution for those Democrats who camot, because of moral conviction, bring themselves to voting either for a Republican candii-~ date or a candidate whe in an apparent large measure was saddled the Democratic Party by participation in the latter's Primary by non-members of the Party. The action being taken by the writer in the respects herein is motivated solely from and by his om convictions and the same is not in anywise prompted from any action on the part of Spenker Smith other than the imprint upon the writer of the former*s excellent public service and showing of his potentialities.

And, frankly, I'm not at all convinced that Mr. Carmichael's preformance has done anything more or less than to focus attention on just how well Atlanta has handled the problems common to all cities, north and south. Certainly the incidents have been uncalled for and granted, the N.Y. Times and Wall Street Journal have had their fun in their smuggness, but I can tell you something firsthand. In my travels around the country this past year since being transferred to NY (McGraw-Hill Publishing) I've heard nothing but praise and wonderment about Atlanta. I don't mean just regarding the race situation, I mean on a broad range there is an increasing recognition that Atlanta just has to be a darn fine place to live andearn a satisfying and rewarding living. As. one with deep roots in Atlanta, and a plan to return one day, it is gratifying indeed to see the mayor lead as you have. Kindest personal regards, prs Je Clete Dar.glas C.

Mrse Rohrer joins me in highest commendations to you our City Mayor for for speaking out as you did with reference to the nomination of probably our rankest segregationist and disturb- er of our efforts for peaceful advance. While many of us thought we worked rather dilligently we apparently did not work hard enough to beat him in the run off. Since we are where we are, be assurred we are going to do every-= thing we feel we can to support you and the cause which you so manfully espouse. Someone has said, "A single breaker may recede, yet the tide keeps rolling in." Let's add strength to the tide of right. Have you suggestions for next steps? Sincerely you t t eW.
