PRACTICES BY HERMAN TALMADGE

Charging that since Herman Tai
madge won the Democratic GU
bernatoriai nomination Georgia
authorities have instituted the
worst terror campaign the Pro-
gressive Party has met to date"
c. B. Baldwin, Henry Wallace's
campaign manager, today (Sept.
ID telegraphed Attorney General
Tom Clark demanding immediate
federal Intervention ito guarantee
free elections in the state of Geo
rgia.'
We are asking that you at once
implement the civil rights act to
guarantee constitutional rights in
Georgia. Baldwin wired Clark.
He also asked Georgia's Governor
Melvin E. Thompson and Allan
ta's Mayor w. B. fairfield to
take action
Baldwin said that lit is now lit
orally impossible for Progressive
Party member to go on the main
streets of Atlanta with our peti-
tons without being arrested, and
in many cases, having petitions
already filled with signatures
seized and destroyed"
The Progressive Party of Geor
gia is collecting signatures to
place the party on the state bal
lot. Sixty-five thousand sigma
lures have already been collect
ed despite police terror, Baldwin
said. Fifty thousand valid sigma
lures must be filed by Oct 2.
Baldwin charged that since the
victory of Talmadge in the Geor-
gia Democratic primary for gov
ernor the Atlanta police force is
definitely conducting a campaign
to keep us off the streets"
If sufficient valid signatures
are obtained, Talmadge will be
opposed in the final election by
James BAREFOOT, Progressive candi
date for governor
Fifteen Progressive Party mem
bers, including Barefoot. have
been arrested to date, Baldwin
said, merely for attempting to
speak or circulate petitions.
Barfoot, who lost his faculty
post at the University of Georgia
earlier this year for supporting
Wallace, was convicted of violat-
ing a sound truck ordinance des-
pite the fact that he spoke from
private property and turned off
the loudspeaker at police request
