| Description | My fellow Alabamians, it's a pleasure to speak to you in the closing days of this campaign and to ask for your support on June 3rd for Governor of Alabama. First, I would like to thank all of the people of this great state who cast their votes for me on May 6th and allowed me to get in the runoff in this governor's race. A lot of you good people in this television audience tonight cast your ballots for the fine candidates who were in the first primary but who lost out. You didn't make any mistake because speaking of the front-runners in that campaign, they were all high class individuals who would have made you a good governor had they been elected. So you made no mistake in casting your ballots for those who I consider front-runners. I would like to ask you to join the Wallace campaign and to help elect George Wallace on June 3rd. One of the issues in this campaign, my friends, is who is the most experienced because during the next four years, I feel that the people of this state should have the most experienced man in the race for Governor as your Governor. There are many problems that will confronting the people of this great state during the next four years. I would like to tell you that having served in the Legislature of your state for six years, I feel that this experience will be invaluable to me as your Governor. Any time that a man runs for governor, he advocates a program. The only way that this program can come into being is to be passed by the Alabama Legislature. Having served in that body for six years, I feel that I am more qualified to work with the Legislature of Alabama towards putting across a program that will help and benefit the people of this great state. During the next four years, many problems will arise in the matter of segregation and civil rights as a result of judicial decisions. Having served as judge of the 3rd judicial circuit of Alabama, I feel, my friends, that this judicial experience will be invaluable to me as your Governor. |
