A FEW WORDS ON WELTNER To the Editor of The Herald: This Weltner boy, a Repre- sentative in the House of Rep- resentatives from the 3rd Dis- trict of Georgia, and nominee of the Democratic primary to succeed himself, has announced that he will not serve further as the Representative from the 3rd District of Georgia. This action of Weltner’s is indeed a step in the right di- Tection. It would be ‘just fine if every office holder in the United States who holds to the philosophy such as Weltner’s would follow suit. It is quite easy to understand the reason back of Weltner’s ac- tion. I refer to the true reason; not the reason he made public. Had he seen fit to adhere to the truth, he would have said that he is taking this action be- cause he has been a miserable failure; that he is seeing, day by day, a disintegration of all that he has worked so hard for. Weltner forfeited the respect and confidence of all white peo- ple and a majority of Negro people in the section of the country he calls home, because of his activity in favor of Civil Rights legislation. Now he finds himself a man without a country; a man without a friend. Quite naturally this state of affairs has caused him to become despondent, which he now evidences by his action in refusing to try to go on as Representative from the 3rd District of Georgia. I believe that the reason Weltner gives for his action is the flimsiest I ever heard, and it has no semblance of truth in it. He says that he has to take this action because of the loyalty oath which the Demo- crats require every candidate to take, and which Weltner took. Weltner seems to want people to think that by the action which he is taking, he is no longer bound by the oath he took. He swore that he would Support every nominee of the Democratie party, and he af- fixed his signature thereto, Any subsequent action by him can- not in any way affect an oath which he had previously taken. If Weltner is looking for a job, I suggest that he apply at a broadeasting company for a job as news commentator. They might appreciate his talents there. PAUL R.

On that date, the ‘‘seal of the City of At- Janta was tarnished’? upon your becoming Mayor by the ‘‘colored”’ votes that elected you. The White People of the State of Georgia have spoken and you refuse to listen. Your opinion is only one against millions, Youare denying all Georgians the choice ofelect- ing who they want to head the State. That, in our opinion, is dictatorship. If you and Martin Luther King are ashamed to be called Georgians, all we can say to you is this, ‘*There is nofence around the State of Georgia and you are free to leave whenever you want to,’’? and we are sure no one would be seencrying when you go, except your Negro support- ers. Maybe youcan take them with you? We do not appreciate being call- ed ignorant! We make up our own minds, as do the majority of the people, for whom we wish to vote. You have the same right, but just because your ‘‘Golden Boy’? didn’t win, you act like a SELFISH Open Letter To Mayor Allen CHILD, We lost our votes when we voted for Mayor, too, but we didn’t act like SELFISH CHILDREN about it, like you are doing now. Mr. Allen, if you planto ‘‘gofish- ing’? on November 8th and Les- ter Maddox wins, which he has a very good chance of doing, you should keep your mouth shut and leave the choice up to the voters. This is what you should have done this time! We all know there is nothing worse than a politican who is lost, except a politican | who sells his soul for a vote. We realize you are in a vulnerable position and that if you do not scream loud enough for the colored voters to support youina bloc type vote, then you know you are lost as a politician. YES, MR. ALLEN, we read your statement to the press, and you have had your ‘“‘say.’’ Now, we, as an independent group of people, not ‘backed’? by any organiza- tion, feel we have the right to our opinions and to our choice as to who we want for Governor, AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IT IN NOVEMBER!!! MR, ALLEN, WHAT. ARE YOU AFRAID OF 2!!! Sincerely, Mrs. G, Gilley Mrs. C, Moore Atlanta ars) ——_—  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ivan Allen Criticize Mr. Jamison Does Not Like Remarks About Lester Maddox To Th~ Chattanooga News-Free Press: 1 t How shameful it is for a man of Ivan Allen's position to label the people o( Georgia as ignorant, pr ejudiced and r eactionary people! - I wonder what he thought of the Atlanta citi- . zens who elected him mayor? I wonder what he thinks of these free - thinking Americans who voted for Earry Goldwater for president? Is it true that Ivan Allen has uddenly become God and can pass judgment on the people of Georgia for the choice they made in a free election? Is Ivan Allen so little to condemn the people of his own state and yet so big that he can go on national television and apologize to the nation for th\! "mistake" that his people have made? , Is he a "Moses' called to lead the people of Georgia into the promised land? Or does he realize that many God-fearing Georgians believe that this is the promised land? Is it possible that Ivan Allen will lash out at others with whom he disagrees and call them " totally unqualified" simply because they do not share his ideals? Could his next target be Her- n s c t V p 78 C, �s-Free Press F• 1 man Talmadge and Dick Russell? Is · it possible that this exalted spokesman shall attack o th er Democrat constituents · and pave the way for other Republican successes? Is Ivan Allen the epitome of progress in Georgia, or can the Atlanta p e o p l e themselves share some of the credit for Atlanta's growth? Is it possible that Atlanta would grow in spite of him or does Atlanta move_because of him? Would this great political figure be so courageous as to at- _ tack the dastardly acts of some of Washington's evildoers? Or shall he confine himself to defamatory remarks about a local, sincere businessman who won a fair election on an honest basis? I believe that God will bold Ivan Allen responsible for this vicious attack upon the life of · Le ter Maddox. CHARLIE JAMISON. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
