Sen. Talmadge Takes A ‘Hands-Off Stand On McGovern’s Candidacy
WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S.Se
nator Herman E. Talmadge, c
rltical of the Democratic plat
form and ticket, has taken a
“hands-off* position on the Mc-
Govern candidacy for president.
In a radio statement recorded
lfl Washington for Georgia sta
tions, Sen.Talmadge said he had
no intentions of trying to ad
vise Georgians on how to cast
their votes in the upcoming P
resldentlal election.' 'I find my
self poles apart from Senator
McGovern on many of the Iss
ues he has espoused as a Sen
ator and many of the planks of
the platform. So it is my In
tention to continue as best I
can to represent the people
of Georgia and not try to In
fluence them in the Presiden
tial elections,’’ he declared.
In other comments on Pres
idential politics, the Georgia S
enator;
—said that Sen. McGovern got
delegate votes in areas where
he would not have received any
if there had been a primary
there.
—warned that the Democratic
Party Is more divided today
than at any time In his life
time.
—asserted that the McGovern
candidacy would make it “more
difficult” for Democratic Con
gressional candidates In Georg
ia and o the rotates.
—charged that the delegates
who wrote and adopted the pro
busing platform plank at the Co
nvention “are out of touch with
the thinking of the overwhelming
majority of the electorate.”
The text of Senator Tal
madge’s radio interview fo
llows:
(1.) SENATOP, JUST ABOUT
EVERYONE SAID SENATOR
MCGOVERN DIDN’T HAVE A
CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRA
TIC NOMINATION. . . YET,
HE GOT IT ON THE FIRST
BALtOT. . . HOW DO YOU
ACCQUNT FOR THAT?
“I think everyone was sur
prised. His reading in the po
lls was extremely low right
up until about the time of the
convention. He had a group of
very dedicated workers thro
ughout the country that showed
up In the district conventions
In substantial miiabers. They
came early, they stayed through
the entire election process, and
they remained late. He got lots
of delegates In areas where if
he had a primary he wouldn’t
have gotten any. For Instance,
In the State of Georgia he re
ceived about 25 per cent of the
votes on the first ballot. And
yet If he would have had a pri
mary In Georgia, I’m sure Se
nator McGovern would have had
no delegates.”
(20 WHERE DOES ALL THIS
LEAVE THE DEMOCRATIC P
ARTY— BADLY DIVIDED OR
WHAT?
“I think the Democratic Party
Is more divided today than they
have been at anytime within my
lifetime. Lots of Democrats do
n’t find themselves comfortable
either with the platform or Se
nator McGovern's views. So,
I would say the party Is ex
tremely divided.”
(3.) DO YOU FORESEE ANY
DIFFICULTIES IN DEMO
CRATIC CONGRESSIONAL EL
ECTIONS?
“I do In many areas of the
country, particularly where
they have strong discipline and
they are accustomed to voting
a straight ballot, either for the
Republican P.arty or for the De
mocratic Party. Now in Georgia
for the last several years, be
ginning In 1964 when Senator
Goldwater carried Georgia a
bout 100,000, a majority of our
people have demonstrated a high
degree of sophistication In sp
litting their ballots. So, I think
the people of Georgia will vote
more for the man without re-

I would think by and large De

very well, but it will make it
more difficult for the Demo

has Senator McGovern heading
the ticket for the Presidential
nomination.
