Politics oln Parade
&
There is a great deal of
worry among Democratic of
ficeholders in the state about
what may happen to them if
Senator McGovern wins the
Demo nomination for Presi
dent. For, they realize very
clearly that Nixon would win
Georgia overwhelmingly in
November, and it very likely
would take many Democratic
officials down to defeat with
McGovern.
Governor Carter continues
to try to form some sort of
coalition with other Demo
cratic governors and Party
leaders to stave off McGovern,
but is not meeting with much
success, mainly because no
body seems to know what to
do. They have thought about
issuing a joint statement, in
the hope of helping beat Mc-
Govern in California, but de
cided against it for the reason
that a statement from Southern
governors might help Mc-
Govern with liberal Californ
ians, rather than hurting him.
At the Southern Regional
Education Board meeting in
White Sulphur Springs last
week, erf which Carter was
the outgoing president, the
governors devoted more time
to politics and the McGovern
matter than to education. But,
according to our information,
no final decision was reached.

of Agriculture, has kept his
contacts in the state — which
are many' and varied — and
some of these people say that
they expect Phil to come back
to Georgia about the first of
1974 and start laying the
ground-work for a race for
Governor that year on the
Republican ticket.
*****
A few days ago, a Gambrell
commercial was shown on At
lanta television portraying a
welfare office with a long line
of Negroes waiting to receive
their checks. The Senator is
shown stating that “something
must be done about this wel
fare rtess” or words to that
effect.
We hear that some leading
Negroes contacted the Senator
and voiced a protest, with the
result that this commercial
has been withdrawn from his
campaign.

Mrs. Jimmy Carter and the
Governor’s Executive Secre
■ tary, Hamilton Jordan, paid a
courtesy call at Governor
George Wallace’s hospital the
other day, but didn’t expect to
see Wallace, which they dicki’t.
However, they had a chat with
Mrs. Wallace, and Hamilton
came away singingherpraises
to the skies. He says that she’s
smart, extremely personable,
and a “darn good politician.”
*****
Considering everything, we
would predict that a good part
of the Georgia delegation at
the Democratic National Con
vention will vote for Wallace
on at least the first ballot. At
least, those whom Carter can
influence will, we think.

Another potential candidate
for the U. S. Senate race is
Austin D. Graham, an official'
of the IAM union at Lockheed-
Georgia. Mr. Graham has sent
out a newsletter stating that
he will run.
*****
We hear that the Atlanta
Journal and Constitution have
already’ picked their candidate
for governor in 1974, Le. Bert
Lance, Director of the State
Dept, of Transportation, and
Calhoun banker.
*****
We’re wondering about
something. As is known, there
are two races for the U. S.
Senate this year. One is for
the 57 day unexpired term of
Dick Russell. The other is for
a full 6-year term. What would
happen if candidate “A” was
top man in one race with
candidate “B” second. Then,
suppose in the other race can
didate “C” was top man and
candidate “A” or “B” was
second. Would there be two
run-offs? And there are other
“ifs.”
If you are confused, we are,
too. But our confusion is not
near such as there would be
among Party officials.
Maybe the answer would be
for all the candidates to get
together and sign an agree
ment that only one Senate race
be listed on the ballot — if
such would be legal. Perhaps
Secretary of State Ben Fort
son, whoalways has the answer
to election puzzles, can figure
this out.
