Throughout the state, where the attitude toward the Governor has been one of adulation, there was a sharp change. "I voted for our Governor" Mrs. Raymond A. Busier wrote the Montgomery Advertiser, "but if I can be forgiven, I'll never again. Wake up Alabamians, before you sell your birthright for a mess of pottage." State Representative Kenneth Ingram protested in the Birmingham News that he had previously considered Wallace "a champion of conservatism, but now I find that he is advocating what appears to me to be liberalization of our very own Alabama constitution...

In January, for instance, an antic whim led him to suggest to all those kiddies out there that they get ahold of Daddy's wallet and remove "those little green pieces of paper with pictures of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson and send them to me, and I'll send you a postcard from Puerto Rico." Four $1 bills came in, and so did a stiff complaint. Soup was canned, but only temporarily. His suspension became an instant cause. The phone...
