His Honor The Mayor
Ivan Allen, Jr.,
City Hail
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sir:
Your tyrannous reaction and statement to the press,
radio and TV on Lester Maddox's surprising victory
in the Democratic Primary Run-Off on Thursday was
malicious and very unbecoming for a high public official
to make,
It is indeed unfortunate you cannot and did not accept
the "will of the people" as graciously as did our
Governor, Mr, Sanders and other high Democratic officials.
Thank God for the ballot box, we Georgians can still
make our preference known, and I for one, don't consider
myself stupid or ignorant. I voted for Mr, Maddox and
am proud of it and shall do so again come November.
