' Speaking over station WGST from Atlanta and 28 other Geor lgia stations, Governor Arnall sum |med up his position in the Gover~ nor’s campaign like this: ‘ “The people of Georgia know who I am supporting. 1 am not voting for an Ex-Governor.

I believe that his election will in sure good government and honest government in our state.” s (Carmichael is campaigning on' a platform of “good and honest government.”) , The.
