hardest campaign route —a
grueling, 16-hour-a-day routine
of "beating the streets,” as an
aide put it, to contact personal
ly as many voters around the
state as he could.
Patton’s main campaign prob
lems were a limited budget,
which eliminated much expen
sive television or newspaper ad
vertising, and what he called
“identification” — making his
name and face known.
Patton shook hands with mill
workers changing shifts,
tromped through livestock mar
kets to meet cattlemen, met
wi -i tobacco growers, and spoke
to civic groups in hamlets a
cross the state.
His opponent, by contrast,
made a few speeches, ran
discreet television commercials
in the cities and relied on long
established political ties with
local rural officials for most of
the vote-getting.
Patton hammered away at the
Talmadge dynasty, charging
that the senator was compla
cent, old-fashioned and out-of
touch with the people.
Patton’s ambitious campaign
began when he qualified at the
For
Senate
Seat
last possible moment against
GOP State Sen. Jack Sells,
who he defeated In the Re
publican’s first primary ever
held in Georgia.
Patton, 41, is a native Atlan
tan and works as a manufac
turer’s representative. A Korean
War veteran who attended Geor
gia Tech, he formerly was Ful
ton County Republican chair
man and ran an unsuccessful
race for city aiderman.
Patton won the endorsement
of a Negro newspaper, the At
lanta Daily World, and present
ed a moderate, low-key ap
proach to racial issues. He said
he believed “law and order”
and “civil rights” are separate
matters because Negroes are
also alarmed about riots and
suffered the worst personal
property damages in civil dis
orders.
Talmadge
By United Press International
“I never quarrel with my op
ponents,” says Sen. Herman
Talmadge, D-Ga. Most of the
time, he scarcely' acknowledges
their presence.
Talmadge, a veteran of 20
years governmental experience
and the heir to one of the
South’s last family political
dynasties, has followed the
"laissez-faire” method of cam
paigning — at least on a public
level — with great success. He
sever lost an election.
Talmadge’s father, the late
former Gov. Eugene Talmadge,
used to tether a cow on the
Capitol lawn in Atlanta. Things
have changed a lot at the state
house since then, but the Tal
madge name and Influence re
mains a dominant force in
Georgia politics.
Talmadge calls himself a far
mer, although he also holds a
law degree from the University
of Georgia and has spent much
of his life in government. His
family home is Talmadge farms
in Lovejoy, home of the famous
Talmadge country hams.

HORSE JAILED
MEXICO CITY (UPD—“Pa
lomino”, the horse, was in
custody at a local police station
today on a charge of assault.
Police said the horse kicked a
little girl who was sent to a
hospital for treatment. The
officer on the beat arrested the
animal.
Daniel Jimenez, the horse's
owner, entered a plea of not
guilty for his animal, but
“Palomino” was ordered Jailed.
ator and former governor is
married and has two sons. He
is vice chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee and is a
member of the Finance and
Forestry committees.
Talmadge defeated a young
Negro attorney from Atlanta,
Maynard Jackson, by a three
to-one margin in the Democra
tic primary. Jackson was the
first Negro ever to seek a Sen
ate seat in Georgia. Another
pioneer, Republican Earl Pat
ton, was Talmadge’s general
election opponent. 1116 Georgia
GOP had never sought a Senate
seat before.
Talmadge’s mini - campaigns
were based on a few speeches,
television ads, and work by his
"friends at the local level.”
Talmadge supporters in county
offices across the state proved
an effective vote - getting ap
paratus.
He said the only issue of the
campaign was whether Geor
gians wanted an experienced
senator with seniority and in
fluence or an untried newcom
er.
Talmadge refused to debate
his opponents, saying he would
not agree to “draw a crowd”
for an unknown candidate.
And he offered no endorse
ments in this confused presiden
tial year, when five of his
closest state-official allies de
fected the Democratic party.
They all pledged to support him
for the Senate, but at least two
of them campaigned actively
for GOP presidential candidate
Richard Nixon.
