Editorial Roundup
The Election
Is Very Near
Be it for a president or merely local, every election is
important. The voting Tuesday will be extremely so. Here
are comments from several Georgia newspapers.
TIMES - FREE PRESS, CARROLLTON
. . . We continue to hear people says “I voted in the
Democratic primary and under the law I have to vote
Democrat in the general election.”
There is no such law. A primary is simply a vehicle
through which the different parties nominate candidates
to run in the general election. A voter can go any way he
chooses in the general election. He may vote the straight
party ticket or split his vote, that is, vote for some Demo
crats, some Republicans, or the American Party candidate.
He is not even obligated to support a candidate he may
have voted for in the primary. In the general election, the
poll workers won’t even ask if you’re a Republican, Demo
crat or Independent. So, select and vote for the man you
think best qualified for the job, whatever his party affilia
tion. ...
THOMASTON TIMES
Despite the bedsheet ballot, possible inclement weather,
decisions to make and other adverse conditions we believe
America is going to the polls stronger on November 5
than at any time in the history of this nation.
This, in itself, is a healthy sign.
Americans are going to the polls and express displea
sure with three things, basically, and in this order:
1. Lawlessness in the streets.
2. Forced and extreme efforts at de-segregation of the
schools.
3. The Vietnam war.
Os course, Americans will be divided on how they ex
press themselves on these three issues but this is the root
of the uprising that will show up at the ballot box.
One is, admittedly, racial although there is unrest even
among many Negroes about the school desegregation as
it begins to jeopardize the teaching career of many of their
own.
In the north, as much so as in the south, Americans are
thoroughly disgusted with the forced desegregation, the
busing of students to create an unnatural racial balance in
schools and the deprivation of a student and parent making
proper choices about public education.
The lawlessness in the street is not racial. In no sense of
the word could it be considered so because the Negroes
do not have the Beatniks, the Hippies, the Yippies or the
Flower Children on their conscience.
And we do not necessarily refer to the higher rate of
major crime although it has grown disproportionately
high.
The type of lawlessness in the streets is the rioting, the
looting, the jeering, the pushing, the shoving, the lay-ins,
the spit-ins the obscenities, the immorality on public dis
play, the lewdness, the Communist-type of obstruction to
justice and the disrespect for law, order and authority.
Americans are fed up with this type of lawlessness and
they will speak out at the polls, some believing one will
improve the situation, others believing another will make
the changes more to their liking.
Vietnam has become the longest war in American
history and there is much displeasure with it. We don’t
mean the peaceniks who would sell America short but we
mean honest, sincere Americans whose sons are there, have
been or have prospects of going; Americans who see this
country pouring untold billions into the effort; and Ameri
cans who see the U. S. expending apparent unappreciated
effort.
Come November 5 we believe that Upsonians will be
setting the example the nation will follow. By exercising
their displeasure with the wrongs of our nation at the
ballot box, they have the best opportunity to set our nation
right.
How it will come out heaven only knows.
THOMASVILLE TIMES - ENTERPRISE
It seems that with each election for state and county
officers it becomes more difficult to vote.
The Georgia Election code as it is known has been
written and revised in an effort to conform to court deci
sions bearing on all phases of the election.
All of which makes the current election ballot a real
dilly, and herefore more complex and difficult to prepare
as well as to use by the voter in expressing his choice. .. .
George Who?
We saw a Wallace campaign sticker the other day which
said, “Let George Do It”. The slogan is the same as that
used by George T. Smith when he campaigned for Lieute
nant Governor of Georgia. The late U. S. Senator Walter
F. George was know as “George of Georgia”. The State
was named for King George II of England. “By George!”
is an exclamation. St. George (for whom the Episcopal
Church in Griffin is named) killed the dragon.
There are quite a few Georges around, both in history
and in the present.

MY
ANSWER®
Man Has Choice
Christians supposedly believe
in predestination, which means
that God knows the end from the
beginning. Why then did God
create man when He knew he
would sin and bring sin into the
bloodstream of the human race?
My children have asked m e this,
and it would help to know your
answer. A.P.
Man had a choice then, even as
he does today. A just God would
not have told Adam “not to eat
of the tree” if his foreknowledge
decreed that he would eat of it.
There is a difference between
predestination and foreknowled
ge. A mother, for example, who
loves her son, could reasonably
predict that if her son continu
ed to drink and drive he would
most surely have an accident.
But, that doesn’t mean that she
wished her fears to come true,
or that she was happy that her
prediction was right.
The Bible teaches unmistakab
ly that man has the choice of
good and evil. If this is a true
choice then God’s foreknowledge
hasmothing to do with it — oth
erwise it would not be a free
choice. The thing that God real
ly foreknows is that “the soul
that sinneth shall die”, but that
doesn’t mean that a particular
person is decreed to sin, for if he
were, then he would abdicate his
freedom of choice. It is really a
bit like the "which-comes-first
the-chicloen-or-4he-egg? ” argu
ment. The truth Is: two things
are clearly taught in Scrip
ture, “The free will of man”,
and, “the foreknowledge of
God”, and the two are mutually
compatible.

Religion Today
Clergy And
The Election
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Involvement of religious lead
ers in the presidential election
campaign has been far less this
year than it was in 1960 and
1964.
In 1960. John F. Kennedy's
Roman Catholic faith became
one of the most emotional
issues of the campaign. The
“religious issue” was whether
Americans could trust a Catho
lic to run their country without
taking orders from the Vatican.
Kennedy became the first
Catholic President and his
conduct In office so allayed
Protestant fears that the
religious question was not even
raised this year when the
Democrats nominated another
Catholic, Sen. Edmund S.
Muskie, for vice president.
Side Against War
In 1964, a number of
prominent clergymen and reli
gious publications strongly en
dorsed the candidacy of Lyndon
B. Johnson. They justified their
abandonment of non-partisan
ship on the grounds that
Johnson’s OOP opponent, Barry
M. Goldwater, might involve the
nation in a major war in
Vietnam.
This year, some clerical
advocates of peace in Vietnam
threw their support to Sen.
Eugene J. McCarthy during the
race for the Democratic pres
idential nomination.
After McCarthy lost out to
Hubert H. Humphrey, many of
them joined other McCarthy
supporters in sitting out the
election campaign, refusing to
choose between Humphrey and

Liberal Double Standard
Ignores Alienated Right
WASHINGTON (NEA)
Third party candidate George Wallace is going to remain
a political force in America after Nov. 5 whether he draws
20 or 15 or 10 per cent of the popular vote that day.
The meaning of that prospect is much more profound
than simply suggesting that Wallace will stay alive to fight
another day.
Probably millions of Americans well to the right of cen
ter, especially on the issue of the racial struggle, will con
tinue in a high state of discontent. They will not feel they
have a true champion in the White House.
There is a great deal of talk in this country these days
about the “alienation” of the blacks, some of the young and
some in the academic world. Partisan liberals, particularly
of the Sen. Eugene McCarthy persuasion, argue that no
national leadership which does not draw these disaffected
Americans back toward the mainstream of U.S. life will
be worth much in the years just ahead.
Yet there is in this emphasis a curious kind of double
standard. The Wallace phenomenon is thunderous proof
that alienation from the main stream is not limited to
blacks, young war dissenters or others on the left. But few
liberals, moderates, or even mild conservatives seem much
concerned about the alienated on the right.
It evidently is forgotten that they are Americans, too,-
and that it is just as important to draw them back into the
mainstream as to gain the allegiance of angry blacks and
war dissenters in support of practical policies and pro
grams that can make this country work and keep its demo
cratic processes stable.
Some liberal folk who have observed Wallace-minded
Americans at close range express horror at the often open
display of hatred they see. They speak glumly of a “spirit
of repression” abroad in the land.
What they fail to realize is that the logic of their myopic
view is the repression of the angry, fearful Americans of
the discontented right.
Today many affluent American liberals, enjoying a pecu
liar insulation from any serious economic or social threat,
sit in their comfortable living rooms and frame imperious
commands to be delivered to millions of less advantaged
white Americans.
Many among these latter, collectively branded “Middle
America” by one analyst, are at the real confrontation
line—feeling the abrasions of the racial struggle first-hand,
dealing with the real or imagined threat to their jobs,
schools and housing, seeing the reassnring fabric of their
lives riDDed anarL
c IMS by NEA, Ik.
Richard M. Nixon.
Their retreat from the
political arena was rebuked by
the magazine Christian Century,
traditionally a spokesman for
liberal and peace groups in the
churches. In a mid-October
editorial, Century insisted
“there is a choice” between
Nixon and Humphrey and
warned that it would be
irresponsible to sulk at home on
election day.
Century did not say which of
the two major candidates it
would choose—reflecting per
haps a prudence gained after
the Internal Revenue Service
suggested it might have to
consider revoking the maga
zine’s tax-exempt status be
cause of its outright endorse
ment of a candidate (Johnson)
in 1964.
Baptist evangelist Billy Gra
ham early in the campaign
toyed with the idea of making a
public endorsement of his good
friend Richard Nixon. Other
counsels prevailed, however,
and Graham settled for making
his sentiments as obvious as
possible by appearing repeated
ly on television programs and at
other public events with Nixon.
“It is obvious that Graham,
whether he has articulated it or
not, is favorable to Nixon and
... is taking sides in the
presidential election,” the
American Baptist magazine
Mission said in its October
issue. It went on to say:
“Good for Graham
(church-state separation) does
not mean that we can separate
our religious commitment from
politics or society.”
