Eugene Talmadge
Nol To Oppose George
In Senatorial Race
Walter F. George, (Dem., Ga.),
veteran, of 22 years in the upper
chamber, Saturday night was
forced into a race for renomi¬
nation against a political un¬
known rather than against form¬
er Gov. Eugene Talmadge, who
had been rumored as his oppon¬
ent.
While Talmadge was announc¬
ing to reporters that a heated
political campaign was not fit¬
ting in wartime, John W. Gools¬
by of Washington, Ga., an elec¬
tric appliance salesman, quietly
qualified with Democratic party
chiefs to oppose George in the
July 4 primary.
Goolsby, 47, declared that he
was an independent and that he
had no factional backing. Po¬
litical leaders expressed ignor¬
ance of his very existence, and
Talmadge denied any connection
with. him.
In his single-handed cam¬
paign against the powerful
George, a member of the Senate
since 1922 and head of the Sen¬
ate Finance Committe, Goolsby
said he would run on a farm
platform.
“I plan a program, to go into
effect after the war, with prices
set by the farmers and elimina¬
tion of the Government price
controls and subsidies,” Goolsby
said.
Talmadge announced early
Saturday that he would not of¬
fer for the senatorial race, al¬
though he’d rather run for the
post ‘‘more than anything in
life.” Deadline for qualification
of candidates passed at noon
Saturday.
The ex-governor, who was de¬
feated by George in the 1938
senatorial race, said he did not
believe it opportune to become
involved in a “bitter” political
campaign because of the war.
