HOW JULIAN BOND
& SAM NUNN TEAMED
UP TO DECEIVE
GEOBGIA VOTERS
First, Sam Nunn claimed to be a Conservative to get support of Conservatives . . .
Secondly, Nunn met secretly with George McGovern's Georgia Campaign Leaders,
Julian Bond, Leroy Johnson, Ben Brown and Martin Luther King, Sr., and got their
support and endorsement. No true conservative would do this. They planned the
timing so nobody would know about his Black endorsements until after the
runoff - even Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox stated that he did not find out about
Nunn's secret deals with the Block Leaders until after the runoff ... Thirdly, Nunn
had the nerve to blast Gambrell for meeting secretly with South Georgia Blacks
and said piously that was "exactly what I haven't done" ... But his secret deals
with the Super Block leaders leaked out, CAN YOU EVER TRUST HIM AGAIN?

Three weeks ago, Gov. Jim

ing to get a stop-George Mc-
Govern movement going. But
last night the senator from
South Dakota slept in one of
Carter’s beds.
At 3 breakfast meeting with
Georgia delegates today. Car
ter mM that in a long talk last
night he told McGovern that
after the votes are counted at
the convention, “I intend to
remain a Democrat and give
him, if he is nominated, mv
lull support.".

A Strange Political Alliance
Bond said that between the
primary and the runoff he
was among a group of black
leaders invited to Johnson’s
office to talk with Nunn but
said there w f as no talk of en
dorsements at the meeting.
Others present included the
Rev. Martin Luther King Sr.,
State Rep. William H. Alexan

TSen. George McGovern greets Coretta King, wife of slain civil rights
leader Dr. Martin Luther King, on the steps of the Georgia Capitol.
At right is Atlanta Vice Mayor Maynard Jackson.

“Coretta wants you to vote for Sam
Nunn,” said the voice at the other end of the
line.
Black voters got that admonition hun
dreds or times oeibre Toesflavs runott Be
tween Nunn and Sen David Gambrell. If
Mrs. Martin Luther King (Coretta) wanted
Nunn, that was good enough for many black
voters.
Rep. Julian Bond also endorsed Nunn.
So did Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox and black
Sen. Leroy Johnson and arch-conservative
former Gov. Marvin Griffin and moderate
ex-Gov. Carl Sanders.
So Nunn rode to victory with the help of
one of the strangest political coalitions ever
assembled in the state.
Now that Nunn got what '
he wanted is is any
wonder that they will
try to say it is not so?
But, if Julian Bond did
not mean it to be so,
why didn't he deny it
before the runoff instead
of two days later 1
I But Lester did not
I know until later about
Nunn’s secret deals
with McGovern’s leaders.
