Atlanta’s New Mayor
Will Speak for (Georgia
(Editorial)
All Georgians have a special stake in
Atlanta. The city is our capital, the center
of our commercial and political life and the
hub of the state’s government and culture.
On Atlanta has fallen much of the bur
den of leading the state’s development The
city has set and will continue to set prece
dents in commerce and education for the
state. Georgians and the world will soon
throw the spotlight of attention on Atlanta,
to see if the city learned the obvious lessons
from Little Rock and New Orleans, to see if
Atlanta’s leadership can measure up to its
responsibilities to the good name of the re
mainder of the state and the nation.
Mr. Hartsfield has proven the man for
his time. He has handled Atlanta’s critical
problems constructively, with reason and
with a sense of humor.
With a battery of adequate candidates
on the lists for the capital city's election,
Atlanta and Georgia are fortunate to have
among them one of exceptional merit and
»*.. -v . ' ‘
talent—the sort of man
have in mind when you say,
some of our proven and qualified
leaders get into government and niiMt
right?”
Ivan Allen Jr. has proved his capabili
ties in business, civic, military and m-
cal life. He has traveled intensively
throughout Georgia and understands the
entirety of his native state. As a.fwRgr
executive secratary to a governor,
dent of Georgia Tech’s national alumni
organization, former member of the St&te
Board of Education, he knows how tol
how to organiz^ and how to cany
program. It takes an effective politician j
establish a record as organizer of thej
Young Democrats Clubs, as pi
the Atlanta Chamber of Commc
as chairman of the State Chamber offMttr
merce. Experience in hospital administer*
tion and juvenile rehabilitation workdma
given him a working grasp of Atlanta’s
social welfare and educational activity
This all adds up to excellent training flnr
the job, training superior to that neeetedfl
by the fulltime politician whose concafatti*
tion has been not on DOING jobs but GET
TING jobs. .,
Above all, he seems qualified by his
ability for cool judgment in difficult times,
by his manifest acceptance of heavy j
sponsibilities with intelligence and ^
rity.
It means a great deal to all Geoi
that Atlanta choose a man who can
the kind of heat that will be generated by
forthcoming events and at the saqris tine
design and accomplish a progressive prO-*
gram. Ivan Allen has a record of courage^
ous determination. He has been able tvji.
put into words and action the temper azgd
aspirations we identify with our central
city. \ ;•;**
Despite the fact that we could make
out a good case for some sort of extra
territorial franchise so all Georgians could
vote in Atlanta, only Atlantans will elect
their new mayor. We do feel we have thfer
right to urge them to keep the rest of the
state in mind, plus their own interests, as
they go to the polls.
