Sept-30-1966 Mr.Ivan Allen, Jr. City Hall Atlanta, Ga. My Dear Sir; Prior to your stateement about the Democratic nominee I would have addressed you as Honorable Mayor, but the statement that you made has reduced your statue in the eyes of many. Your statement was so similar to the one made by Dr. Martin Luther King, and came after his statement I wonder if he did not direct your statement. Mr. Allen, I cannot see how you can call approximately 490,000 voters in Georgia ignorant, and not responsible for their actions. I am afraid that your statement has done a lot of damage to the business people of Atlanta, as the remainder of Georgia looks to Atlanta as an ideal shopping center, and no one likes to be told they are ignorant, and irresponsible. Could it be that you are still hurt over the irresponsible Democratic Nominee securing more white votes than you aid in The Mayors election??o The fish will be biting good in November, and you will be making another mistake if you do not go fishing while the irresponsible people of Georgia go to the POLLS. If the fish keep their mouths closed, as you should have done you will have to go by the fish market before you return home. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Mr. Mayor:e- T have just listened te your unjust, unwarranted, hypocritical statement concerning Hon. Lester Maddox and his great political victory in the Sept. 28the primary for the Governorship of Georgia, This was the people of Geonjias victory just as Mr. Maddox indicated. I voted for him and have been working for his elec= tien all summef as our customers came to mp farm for peaches and I consider your remarks an insult to the intelligence of we pecple,who refuse to be dominated by King, LBJ,Weltner, Little Ralph, Patterson, ugh S. Hartsfield, Allen and other integrationist,who with the help of press and radio and TELEVISION are respensi- ble for the disrespect for law and order in our country teday, since these sour= ces have made of themselves professional agitators trying to force conditions on these citizens, who supperted and voted for Wr. Maddex that you do not honor in'your own household and farmily relations. We would like to see LBJ impeached, since he and his misguided nenchmen are responsible for the ill will and chaos prevailing between nezroes éhd whitss today and he has finished bankrupting this ceuntry and is now well on the wayteo destreying its manpewer in the mud holes of Wiet-Nam,. Guess you noticed that his popularity had declined to a mere 50%. Just for the record it has been O with me a long timeo He will wind up next election day with his demagogues and SOCIAL EQUALS on the one side and geod citizens who believe in constitutional govern- ment (net supreme court government) individual initiative and respect for in- dividual rights on the other and we have just experienced what happens to dic- ‘atorial influences when the people speaks truly, a  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
