Dear Sir:
I am so very dis appointed in you, as I knew

good Christian gentleman. I think your work would
be harmful to Boy Scouts n ow.
To my knowledge, I have never met nor seen
Mr. Lester Maddox . I heard part of hi s s peech over
WSB, Tuesday before election. I am sure you heard
him or knew what he said.
I h ave talk ed to a number of people today.
Some of them are as fine Christian people as I've
ever kno\-m . After he aring you, t hese pe ople all
say t hey will endorse what Lester Maddox said .
One Christian l ady told me that she and her
husband were a t a ball game in Atlan ta several
nights ago. Two men and a woman on seat behind
t hem were dr i nking with r owdy disturbance. She
said t hey could not en joy the game as we ll as
other pe ople who were seated around t hem . The
woman who sat between t he two men went to the re st
room. Whi le she was gone the men planned s ome lies
to tell their wives. These men were bragging of
their family and pr ofessional standing . One of the
men was an eye specialist .
Another patient from Bowdon was in my office
today and said almost the same thing happened to he
and his wife except t he par t~ was in fr ont of t hem.
I heard a salesman who lives in At lanta tell a group
in my office a few weeks ago that he personally knew
Mr. Maddox and that he was one of the finest Christian
gentlemen he knew and t hat Mr. Maddox would get down
any time to help an unfortunate up.
I wish you could visit the Carroll County Prison
with me and see the results of what has happened to
homes as a result of wrong leadership.

Do you consider it honorable to endorse what

voted for Mr. Maddox such low types as you are doing.

Mr. Ivan Allen
Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir:

I am so very disappointed in you, as I knew
you in your work with Boy Scouts. My opinion of
you was such a good one and I thought you to be a
good Christian gentleman. I think your work would
be harmful to Boy Scouts now.

To my knowledge, I have never met nor seen
Mr. Lester Maddox. I heard part of his speech over
WSB, Tuesday before election. I am sure you heard
him or knew what he said.

I have talked to a number of people today.
Some of them are as fine Christian people as I've
ever known. After hearing you, these people all
say they will endorse what Lester Maddox said.

One Christian lady told me that she and her
husband were at a ball game in Atlanta several
nights ago. Two men and a woman on seat behind
them were drinking with rowdy disturbance. She
said they could not enjoy the game, as well as
other people who were seated around them. The
woman who sat between the two men went to the rest
room. While she was gone the men planned some lies
to tell their wives. These men were bragging of
their family and professional standing. One of the
men was an eye specialist.

Another patient from Bowdon was in my office
today and said almost the same thing happened to he
and his wife except the partywas in front of then.

I heard a salesman who lives in Atlanta tell a group
in my office a few weeks ago that he personally knew

Mr. Maddox and that he was one of the finest Christian

gentlemen he knew and that Mr. Maddox would get down
any time to help an unfortunate up.

I wish you could visit the Carroll County Prison

with me and see the results of what has happened to
homes as a result of wrong leadership.

Do you consider it honorable to endorse what
is going on there? Are you proud of what you said
about the good people who voted for Lester Maddox.

I don't think you and the Atlanta papers have

any right to call the one third million good people who
voted for Mr. Maddox such low types as you are doing.

Yours truly,

Meee Sirs

Did you really say this? If you did, I answer you thus:

The State of Georgia is its people--not,
necessarily, its politicians.

And it isn't up to the politicians to tell
the people how to vote.

When you say that the “seal of the great State
of Georgia lies tarnished," you are maligning
the people of Georgia...

For the people are the ones who voted for
Lester Maddox.

Like most politicians of your ilk, you smugly
believe in the old saw “papa knows best."

This time, my friend, the re decided they
knew best.

Bust your gut at your convenienee; the people
couldn't eare less.

Walter Mitty.

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

Mr.iIvan 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 did

in The Mayors election??,

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.

Truly Yours.

D.H.Blanchard Ofiard __

City Hall
Atlanta, Georgi.a
Dear Mayor Allen:
I have held off writing you concerning your statements
regarding the recent Democratic run off, hoping you might
possibly make a public apology.
Over 400,000 Georgians voted tor Mr. Maddox. He is one
or the few who has taken a stand against the so-called "Great
Society" and has worked his way to this point without any help
and with a lot of opposition.
I am amazed to have read these
comments made by you.
Mr. Mayor, what were your qualifications for your present
job, before your election?
The experts seem unable to understand how Mr. Maddox won.
It is my personal opinion that the public suddenly became fed up with
the Cox newspapers and radio station WSB trying to influence them.
Then after the selection, came Mayor Allen"s comments and they are
now sure they did the right thing.
We have had enough.
I am glad I am a resident of Sandy Springs and that we voted
against joining you in your City of Atlanta, because if there ~ have been
been any "tarnished seals" you have certainly brought disgrace to the
City of Atlanta.

Mr. Ivan Allen, Mayor
City Hall

68 Mitchell Street,
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

No doubt you have already heard of the people's unfavorable reaction to
your speech on T. Ve, last Thursday night, against our newly-elected
Governor, calling the people who voted for him, "IGNORANT". This will

not soon be forgotten.

I rode the bus into Atlanta, Friday morning, and the topic of conversation,
among my fellow-passengers, was your speech and your derogatory remarks
against Mr. Maddox. One woman passenger, who appeared to be in her middle
seventies, said "Jn all my life, I have never seen as much venom in a mants
eyes as you had in yours during your speech against our choice for the next
Govenor of Georgia’ As in the case of the Atlanta Newspapers, We Se Be;
every knock, the people reacted the same — EVERY KNOCK TO MR. MADDOX WAS A
BOOST.

If former Mayor Hartsfield saw all the hatred, bitterness and jealousy dis—
played during your speech, he will change his mind about "THE PEOPLE OF
ATLANTA BEING TOO BUSY TO HATE."

Mr. Mayor, instead of your worrying abput the seal of our great state of
Georgia being tarnished, by the people's choice for our next Governor of
the state of Georgia, you had better be-worrying about the tarnish to you,
due to that unjust speech you made against Mre Maddox and the people of
the state of Georgia, which will not rub off, even if you used one of

Mr. Maddox's pick handles.

Mr. Mayor, you should have let Martin Luther King make his own speech if

you intend to ever run for public office again, because the speech in
question neither won you any votes nor influenced the people. You left

out part of Martin's speech - the part where he said that Mr. Maddox's being
elected Governor made him sorry that he is a Georgian. Thousands of Georgians
share his sentiments - for we, too, are sorry that he is a Georgian.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Maddox, but I feel sure that
he is a Christian, standing up for what we all know in our hearts is right.
Mr. Maddox is the Horatio Alger-type, having worked hard all his life to
make this world a better place in which to live. I have always voted for
Mr. Maddox, and will continue to do so.

Mr. Allen, you have shown the firemen of the city of Atlanta no consideration
whatsoever. All the firemen I know have to work at two jobs to earn a living, but
you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
Happy fishing to you and Martin Luther, come voting day, NOVEMBER 8th.
Mr. Maddox will have enough votes without yours and Martints to win.

I would like to sign off, for now, with this little poem:
"THERE IS A DESTINY THAT MAKES US BROTHERS

NONE GOES HIS WAY ALONE.

ALL THAT WE SEND INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS

COMES BACK INTO OUR OWN."
Think about this poem when dealing with our city firemen, won!t you?

Honorable’Ivan Allen Jr.,
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia.

Dear Mayor Allen:

If I could have my choice Mr. Maddox would not be Georgiats-next Governors
but thanks to you and Ellis Arnall, I am almost certain that he will be
occupying the new mansion next year. Mr. Arnallts strike below the belt
gave him many thousands of votes which no doubt was responsible for his
large victory in the run off, and followed by a similar blow on your part
is sufficient to place him in the Governor's chair.

If I understood you correctly, you also saw fit to classify all of the
people who voted for Mr. Maddox as extremist, biased and ignorant. It

has in the past seemed to be very proper for a block of ignorant and

biased people to vote for you. If I would hazard a guess you would have
never been Mayor of Atlanta had it not been for the negro block vote, which
certainly can be classed as biased if not ignorant. ey may have had a
perfect right to vote as they did, but this same right, without criticism,
should be granted to other people.

There seems to be a great deal of criticism also about some republicans
voting for Mr, Maddox, Granting this to be true, if the situation had
been reversed, snd these republicans had voted for Mr. Arnall would there
have been much criticism by his followers-- I doubt it.

I hear a great deal these days about extremism. Just what is an extremist?
An extremist seems to be a person that has viewsof his own and opposite to
the person who yells exbremist. If I remember correctly, Christ had no
patience with a luke warm person or you might say a middlo of the roader.

I am just an individual with no ax to grind-- just sitting on the side

lines and trying to take in what transpires daily, and the above in a
degree expresses my reaction,

Very sincerely,

hte aniele ak

a background as you have.

I voted for Lester Maddox and if you were anything
at heart but a dictator you would be content for
people to vote as they please.

Sincerely yours,
L.C. Stuart

you are just adding mor e votes to his election.
You me ntione d tha t Mr . Ma ddox wa s not qua l i f ied fo r the job.

Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Allen:

From your recent press conference, you implied that this is
not a free country. You were very upset and made a lot of
nasty remarks because the people voted of their own choice
for Mr. Maddox in the primary election. Further, you said
the majority of the people who voted for Mr. Maddox were
illiterate and ignorant.

This is simply to advise I voted for Mr. Maddox, and even
though I do not have a 180 I.Q., I don't believe I'm ignorant.

The people of Georgia do not respect you very much, and every
time you and the Atlanta newspapers talk against Mr. Maddox,
you are just adding more votes to his election.

You mentioned that Mr. Maddox was not qualified for the job.
However, if you will recall, I don't think you were qualified
for the Mayor's job when you went into office.

I realize you were under duress by your Negro voters and were

trying to pacify them by remarking as you did. However, these
remarks were certainly uncalled for.

De a r Sir:
Your tyrannous reaction and statement to the press,

malicious and very unbecoming for a high public official
to make.
It is indeed unfort unate you cannot and did not accept
the "will of the people" as graciously as did our
Governor, Mr. Sanders and other high Democratic officials.
Thank God for the ballot box, we Georgians can still
make our preferenc e k nown, and I fo r one, don't conside r
myself stu p id or ignorant. I voted for Mr. Maddox · a nd

Dear Sir:

Your tyrannous reaction and statement to the press,

in the Democratic Primary Run-Off on Thursday was
malicious and very unbecoming for a high public official
to make,

It is indeed unfortunate you cannot and did not accept
the "will of the people" as graciously as did our
Governor, Mr, Sanders and other high Democratic officials.

Thank God for the ballot box, we Georgians can still
make our preference known, and I for one, don't consider
myself stupid or ignorant. I voted for Mr, Maddox and
am proud of it and shall do so again come November.

Honoreble Mayor Ivan Allen
Mayor, City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georg La

Dear Mr, Mayor:
ed with dismay your comments on CBS Reports 'Black Fower-

sh,' Tuesday September 27, 1966.

I view
White Backls

Your remark that Georgia went Republican in 196)
because of the white backlash was a most unfortunate, un-cslled for,
irresponsible statement of the rankest sort,

Such a statement does greet injustice to the Republican Farty
of Georgia in general and the people of Georgia in particular.
Your inference seems to be only those votes with racial overtones

 

were cast for Barry Goldwater. This is what all doctinaire liberals
would ae ‘to think. I personally feel you owe the people of Georgia

 
 

e
an apology for your insinuation that they are not discerning

I suggest to.y eorgia went Republican in 1964 "Entirely" in
repudistion of Lynd Bal ne s Johnson and Hubert Horatio Humphrey and
their socialistic, w are, givaway schemes of the "Grest Society."

 

WDsb Walt Davis
F.S. In view of recent Democratic nominetion, suggest you
vote Hepublicsn Nev. 3.
