EITHER WAY WITH LBJ
The man at the lunch counter stirred his coffee, then poked a finger at the man with the LBJ
button. . ~
“It’s not that I’m against Lyndon,” he said. "I just don’t know where he stands.
“Well, he’s for the poor,” said the LBJ button.
“And who wouldn’t be if he could save 14 million on a lifetime’s earnings of $500,000 , said
the coffee drinker.
“That was just good business sense,” said the LBJ button.
“You can’t take that away from him,” said the coffee drinker. Lyndon
landlord—talks about good steeds In church on Sunday, but he won t repair the leak in my roof.
“You’re not going to hold it against him that Lady Bird owns those shacks and collects rent on
them. They’re so beat up, it just isn’t worth putting down any good money to fix them up.
“True enough,” said the-coffee drinker. “But I had something else in mind. N owt^e civil
rights. Lyndon wouldn’t even stand up against lynching when he was just a little old senator.
But when he wanted to move into the White House he called in those ADA boys and they whipped
him up a civil rights bill which sits the government right In your front parlor. The Feds can tell
you who to hire, who to feed, and who to open the doors to. This Is kind of funny from a man w o wa s
booming about States Rights before he got bit by the presidential bug.
“A man can change his mind,’’ said the LBJ button angrily.
“More coffee,” said the coffee drinker, then he turned back to the LBJ button. ‘ Sure, a man can
change his mind. I admire him for that. But take Lyndon. He’s as consistent as a revolving door.
You can change your mind honestly - but you can’t be on both sides of a question at the same
"Now, I got you,” said the LBJ button. “Just name one time when Lyndon talked out of both
sides of his mouth.” . , ..
“I cot you,” said the coffee drinker with a grin. “Let’s take 1960. Lyndon ran on two platforms
then, the National Democratic platform and the Texas platform. Around the country he was
calling for legislation to make state rlght-to-work laws Illegal. In Texas he was for rlght-to
work because it was necessary to the free enterprise.”
“That’s just one,” said the LBJ button.
"That’s all you asked for. But how about this: In 1960 he ran on a national platform which wanted
to end the depletion allowance. But in Texas he supported a platform which called for continuing
the depletion allowance. Nationally, Lyndon was for sit-in demonstrations. In Texas he wanted
them stopped by the law so private property would be protected. To the Northern folks he said he
was for school desegregation. In Texas he ran on a platform which said it should be left up to
local school authorities. In the North he asked for more power for the federal boys. In the South
he said amen to those who called the federal power a menace. You Interested in more?”
“Let’s go fishing,” said the LBJ button.
percentage of their registered voters.
In signing the proclamation, Gov. Sanders pointed up that only
56.3 per cent of the total registered cast ballots In the 1960
general election. Total registered than was 1,302,139.
Today, he further pointed up, more than 1,600,000 persons are
eligible to vote in Georgia.
“GET OUT THE VOTE WEEK’’ as designated by the Governor,
will be the week of Oct. 28 - Nov. 3, 1964.
