Both white and colored citizens

time.
Members of the Improvement

no mistakes appear in same if it
is possible.
Please remember that changes
and additions can be made now
but there will positively be no al

In order that the above an

it will be recalled that some

Asserting a desire to “get out of manna
politics,” Arnall said the “broad j around.
principles of democratic govern
ment demand that the people be
given the right to elect whom they
please and as many times as they
desire.” ,
Asked at the end of the day’s
session if his statement meant that
he would not run for governor two
years hence. Arnall s miled and
said “it just means that I am not
a candidate for governor.” The
proposal that a governor be per
mitted to succeed himself came
from Rep. Ben Fortson of Wilkes
county.
In other major developments of
the day’s deliberations, which will
be resumed, Arnall's proposal that
a constitutional board be created
to handle prison affairs was re
jected and approval was given
proposed home rule authority for
cities and counties.
Voting unanimously as favoring
state civil service, the commission
eliminated the greater part of its
policy committee’s recommenda
tions fixing powers and authority
of the state personnel board in the
constitution.
