...weeks later in the runoff, Maddox startled everybody by defeating Arnall by 70,000 votes. The moderate Democrats were left in the cold. Overshadowing the whole primary, however, were the Republicans and Howard ("Bo") Callaway, a segregationist and Gold-water conservative who loomed this summer as a solid favorite to win the November general election no matter whom his Democratic opponent happened...
...Rights Act. Maddox became a hero to the racists at that time by giving white customers at his fried-chicken restaurant ax handles-he called them "Pickrick drumsticks"-to keep Negroes out. Georgia Republicans, figuring that he would be an easier target than Arnall for G.O.P. Candidate Howard ("Bo") Callaway in November, drove up to polling booths by the thousands to vote for Mad dox-many in cars bearing Callaway bumper stickers. By one estimate, they cast 100,000 votes for the balding bigot, enough to give Maddox a startling 430,000-to-360,000 victory. As a result, liberals...
Arnall is an odds-on favorite to trounce Maddox in next week's runoff. In the November election, he will run head-on into a powerhouse Republican candidate, Representative Howard ("Bo") Callaway, 39, who is also a millionaire. A states'-righter who was elected on the tails of Barry Goldwater's 1964 Georgia victory, Callaway is given at least an even chance of defeating Arnall, to become Georgia's first Republican Governor since Reconstruction...
...Representative Howard ("Bo") Callaway, 39, who two years ago was elected Georgia's first Republican Congressman since Reconstruction, officially announced his candidacy for the governorship. A states' righter and segregationist of the George Wallace stripe, Callaway promised a "new Declaration of Independence" for Georgians, vowed to resist "the unwarranted onslaught of federal domination" of the state's affairs. With no opposition in his own party, Callaway is given at least an even chance against the disorganized Democrats (TIME, May 7), whose candidate in November will most likely be former Governor Ellis Arnall, 59, an outspoken liberal...
...from succeeding himself. The leading contender for the nomination had been Ernest Vandiver, a former Governor, but a six-year history of coronary-artery disease and several recent attacks of angina pectoris forced him to withdraw. He was not too reluctant. In a recent poll, U.S. Representative Howard ("Bo") Callaway, 39, a rich, attractive campaigner who was elected in 1964 while Barry Goldwater was carrying the state, led Vandiver by nearly 2 to 1. An old foe of the Talmadges', former Governor Ellis Arnall, may well wind up with the Democratic nomination-meaning humiliation for Herman no matter...
