ARNALL BEST qualified
This writer and this newspaper today offer you Ellis Arnall
as their choice for governor in the impending election. In
brief they believe Mr. Arnall to be the best qualified candidate
for the seat being left by Carl Sanders and
without equivocation declare with this Issue that
he Is The Man.
Os course, this doesn’t mean he is elected
or that he will be.
There’s many a slip betwixt the cup and the
lip and anyway there Is nary a doubt that
Howard Callaway Is going to put up a struggle.
And with Republicans on the rise In the South-
I east It Is conceivable that the wealthy Re
presentative In the U.S. House could pick up
| the marbles In the gubernatorial game.
However, from the standpoint of experience
and past performances one must concede that former Gov.
Arnall has the most going for him. A Newnan native, he was
educated at Mercer, Sewanee and University of Georgia. He
served In the state legislature from Coweta County, was
Speaker Pro Tern of the House, Attorney General and Gover
nor. He has varied and substantial business Interests as well
as a large successful law firm In Atlanta.
Mr. Arnall Is a trustee of Mercer and Is active In church,
civic and business affairs.
He and Mrs. Arnall have two children. Son Alvin is a first
lieutenant In the U.S. Marine Corps, on active duty. Daughter
Alice, 20, in a junior In college and studying to become a
school teacher. She was born to the Arnalls while they lived
in the Governor’s Mansion.
During his administration Gov. Arnall paid the state out of
debt for the first and only time in history without raising
taxes. He led the successful fight to break the freight rate
shackles which had impoverished the South. This enabled Geor
gia and the South to become highly Industrialized.
Arnall’s administration lowered the voting age to 18, abolish*
ed the poll tax, gave the state a new constitution, establish
ed teacher retirement, took education out of politics, in
creased educational financing and gave Georgia a good name
throughout the nation.
The former Governor Is an author, lecturer, lawyer and
is so gifted a speaker he Is in demand for all sorts of gather
ings.
There are half a dozen other Democrats In the race for
Governor, but the writer can say with little fear of success
full contradiction that the man who once held the job is the one
who can do the most for it, and for the people of Georgia, if
he is elected.
There was no taint against him or his record before and
none of the other candidates has been able to find a bona fide
Issue upon which to confront him this time.
Wherefore, this column and the Forest Park News can highly
recommend him to all the voters.

Callaway Predicts End To Blind
Loyalty 7 Os Voters In Georgia
HOWARD (BO) CALLAWAY
Republicans Fear
Callaway Would
Be Ham-Strung
Two promlent Republicans last
week publicly urged GOP Rep.
Howard (Bo) Callaway not to
enter the governor’s race, and
announced that they would sup
port the candidacy of former
Gov. Ellis Arnall.
The first was Calhoun at
torney Harbin King, who was a
Republican congressional can
didate in the late 1950’s and
has long been active In Se
venth District Republican af
falrs.
King declared Ina letter to
Callaway that electing Calla
way governor would be “cut
ting off one’s nose to spite
one’s face,” because “the elec
tion of a Republican governor
. . .would only result in the
economic detrement of the peo
ple of Georgia.”
“If you are wise, you will
remain In Washington,” King
told Callaway. “As for my
self, I am going to support and
help elect Ellis Arnall. He made
us a wonderful governor a few
years ago and I am convinced
Cars Set For Derby
Next Sunday afternoon calm
will be shattered by a pit full
of mechanical gladiators, as
the Forest Park Jaycees drop
the flag on this season’s third
Demolition Derby,
You never know what you will
see In a Demolition Derby. Some
of the cars look as good or
better than those you see on
the road, others look like they
won’t even make It to the track.
But the car doesn’t matter too
much because Demo Derby Is
mostly a game of driver skill.
A driver has to be very alert
to outmaneuver six or seven
other cars and keep his own
from being hit In some vital
spot. While he is trying to
keep from getting the front end
of his car damaged he must hit
another car at least every four
minutes. The secret Is to use
that he will make us an even
greater governor during the
next four years.”
The second Republican to an
nounce support for Arnall was
John Sayler of Savannah, a
classmate of Callaway’s at
West Point and a former White
House aide to President Elsen
hower.
Sayler, who will serve as vice
chairman of the Savannah-Chat
ham County Committee for El
lis Arnall, said if elected Calla
way “would be what we would
regretfully call ‘a no gover
nor,”’ because he would have
little support In the General As
sembly.
“He could make no appoint
ments; he could not pass any
bills; he could not lay down
the policies of the state . . .
with the result that for four
years Georgia would be stag
nated,” Sayler said.
Meanwhile, the names of se
veral key officials in the Ar
nall campaign were announced.

NATURE'S SWEETENER
Extension entomologists at the
University of Georgia say honey
Is often called "nature’s
sweetener” because it is one of
the few foods of nature used
just as it is.
Formally announcing for Governor on July 4 at Columbus,
Ga., Howard iBo) Callaway disclosed that he actually made
up his mind la; t March to run for this office.
He told a crowd of some 3,000
that he feels confident the peo
ple of Georgi, “are not going
to be blindly loyal to either
party this time” and also as
serted that “the people of this
state no longer will tolerate
the abuses in our statehouse
in the name of party loyalty.”
Thunder, lightning and heavy
rain clouds threatened as Calla
way began speaking at the Co
lumbus Fair Grounds with his
back to an adjoining golf course.
But a slight drizzle failed to
chase anyone away.
The GOP congressman,
promising a “new and imagina
tive program’’ while lashing out
at the “all-powerful federal gov
ern me n t,” said Georgians
should consider three things in
choosing a governor:
1. “Which candidate is least
likely to yield to the pressure of
political hacks and pressure
groups."
2. “Which man, by his be
havior, is most convincing as a
responsible leader who will do
more than talk about state
problems.’’
3. “Which candidate is most
likely to reflect your views on
the national scene.”
Callaway is the only Re
publican candidate for governor.
There are six Democratic candi-
dates for the office. Callaway
will meet the winner of the
Democratic primary in the
November general election.
“Many ask why I will now
leave Washington,” Callaway
said. “We cannot win the battle
in Washington until we take up
the fight here in Georgia. It is
with the hope that I may help
Georgia issue a new Declaration
of Independence to stand proud
ly on her own achievements that
I leave Washington and return
to seek the governor’s chair.”
Callaway further declared:
“Today in America, if we are
Io stop the unwarranted on
slaught of federal domination,
someone must make that start.
If. then, one state must first
stand up to Washington and
say, ‘We will take care of our
selves.’ I say let it begin here
in Georgia.”
Callaway continued:
“For how many years now
have we heard promises of
progress within our state. Yel
doesn't it seem wrong that in
spite of all the proposals and
promises, the issues in this elec
tion are the same ones we have
heard for 20 years or more?
“If the record of accomplish
ment had been what it should,
there would be no need today to
speak of bringing our schools up
to the national average, of build
ing our roads where the needs
are greatest, of improving our
mental health system.
“Why do these problems re
main unsolved? Because for too
long, true progress has been

undermined by a system where
patronage takes precedent over
promises, and where political
pals must be ministered to be
fore the people.”
Callaway said progress in ed
ucation and other areas, as well
as “harmony between our
races.” can only be achieved in
Georgia by Georgians without
federal interference.
The GOP candidate declared
that “freedom has never been
so fragile, so close to slipping
from our grasp as it is at this
moment,” and that “responsible
and positive action on the part
of our state, our local govern
ments and our private sector is
our safeguard for freedom.”
Callaway said he will not dis
close his platform until after his
opponent is determined by the
Democratic primary. However,
he said he believes that “ser
vice must replace political con
siderations as the watchword of
the State House and I am well
aware of Georgia’s many prob
lems in the fields of education,
highways, prisons, economic
growth and mental health "
He added. "It is our responsi
bility to see to it that the
problems of 1966 will not be
issues in 1970 — they must be
solved now. And they will be
solved because the people of
Georgia are asking for and will
have new leadership.”
Callaway promised, if elected,
to “lead this state forward again
to an era of new life, new
strength for Georgia.”
