TALMADGE ASKS FOR
 ELECTION
Georgia 5 Governor Makes New Proposal
 10 State Legislature

ATLANTA, Jan. 2l-Herman Tai- madge offered today to submit the controversy over the governorshir of Georgia to the people in a Democratic white primary cleo ton as soon as the legislature com pletes it's session.
 Speaking to the General Assemb- ly as Governor of Georgia upon its invitation, Talmadge said
 If the Lieutenant Governor will resign, your Governor will resign The speaker of the House of Re- presentatives will assume executive authority
 Under the ate,constitution, then the House Speaker must call an election within 30 days. The Legis- lative session is expected to end in March.
 Talmadge's offer came as a last minute revision in his prepared text. Earlier Lieut.. Governor M. E. Thompson, who contends he is the Acting Governor following resigna- tion of Ellis Arnall had challenged Talmadge to meet him in an elec- tion
 T have stated or three previous occasions prior to my election as Governor of Georgia and when made my inaugural address that the office of Governor of Georgia belongs to the people of Georgia, . Talmadge said
 T am anxious for the people of Georgia to have an opportunity to express their choice through a Democratic white primary at the earliest possible moment
 Talmadge recommended that the Legislature remain in session to in stitute a Democratic white primary and strengthen the election laws regarding qualification of voters.
 There is one way and only one legal way that the people can de- termine this issue at the polls, v Talmadge said.
 Tn the event of the death, dis ability or resignation of the Gov ernor and the Lieutenant Governor, the executive authority of this state is vested in the Speaker of the House of Representatives who must call a special election within 60 days to elect a Governor of Georgia"
 Earlier Talmadge in his address had said the majority of the white people of Georgia are behind us in this fight" and threatened if his opposition persisted to call for this majority of the white people to come to Atlanta and show them a real demonstration.
