...Georgia, for example, Governor Lester Maddox, a Wallace supporter, sat down with State Party Chairman James Gray to handpick the 64 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. "What it boils down to," says Democratic Congressional Candidate Charles Weltner, "is a weird perversion of the one-man, one-vote doctrine wherein one man has one vote, and that man is Lester Maddox." John Howett, an Emory University professor, and Businessman Richard Marsh filed suit charging that they are "thwarted from participation in the democratic process at its place of quintessence...
Atlanta's Herbert Jenkins, 61, the only policeman on the riot commission, is impatient with conventional attitudes. With no help from a state headed by racist Governor Lester Maddox, Jenkins keeps relative calm in one of the Deep South's fastest-growing cities.

On occasion, Maddox applies it personally to irksome political critics and statehouse correspondents ("Phooey on you, phooey on you, and phooey on you!"). Last week Atlanta Attorney James H. Moore and a band of reporters hatched up their revenge with something called a "Phooey-gram," a telegram sent directly to Maddox bearing nothing save the sender's name and one word-"Phooey." Already hundreds of Phooey-grams have been wired to the capitol, and Moore plans...
