Hal Suit apparently brought out more of his supporter at this meeting: when Mr. Suit entered the room a majority of the audience gave him a standing ovation. Some of his supporters stood to applaud him at other times. Mr. Carter, who was initially received with much applause, received a smaller hand for his speech than did either Suit or Jenness. Mrs. Jenness' speech stating her and her party's views on the war, women's liberation, blacks, students, and working people was interrupted numerous times by applause from those who had found an area of agreement. Each candidate gave a ten minute speech and a five munute rebuttal. Mr. Carter talked about being a Georgian, understanding Georgians, and being certain of winning. Mr. Suit talked about being a Georgian, a newsman, and about Mr. Carter's being a politician. Mr. Suit said he was a concerned citiaen. Carter attacked Suit for not having a written platform, and for saying one thing to one group and another thing to another, Suit accused Carter of making a deal with a Long County political boss(Frank Dawson), and of not believing in the good old two party system. Mrs. Jenness said she would use the governor's office to influence immeditate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam. Her platform also included support for the right of Blacks to control their own communities and the right of women to control their bodies. She said there was essentially no difference in the Democratic and Republican parties. After witnessing the issue-evading performances of Suit and Carter, I can only agree. But all the candidates were pinned down when question time came, and we found out a few things: Carter hires no underpaid workers on his farm- he has three full partners and they hire the workers, Suit likes Agnew; Suit and Carter would not legalize marijuana, Jenness would; Suit's feeling about women's liberation were that women are already better off than they used to be; And no one wants to build us a new Union building.

Among thez things we tawked about, wuz the roomers of Narkotic agents on the kampus of the University of Goorga. John sed to me, "Whistlin' John, I wonder why are fellow students get folks arested for possession of Narkotics." And Me, I just shrugged, and sed, "I don't know John." And then John, real-rysing it was his turn to speek sed, "I don't no weather it is thair cents of justice, or if they just think they are helping keep Amerika clean, for their children." I spoke with grate sompathee, saying "It is bekause they need money to by certain items of necessitee." And the poll-ese pay them for folks they katch with Narkotics." "Oh, sed John, "kinda like bounty hunters eh?" And I just nodded. After a short pause, John spoke a gain, saying, "Whistin' John, do theez people who are narkotics agents real-eyes they kan ruen a brothers life buy doing that." I stopped for a moment and sed, "Yes John, I think they do." Well John got all x-sited, and jumped up, and sed, "thats not fare." And I sed, "John, at this tyme the only thing folks can do is be very careful." "But," I kontinued, "things mite change soon, so folks will not be divided buy mistrust of each others." "OK," sed John, "preety soon." And he grinned, really weird. Whistling John WHAT'S COOKING? The Best for Less! A meal to entertain with delight the most ob noxious stomachs!
