Description
Summary:Leaflet promoting George Wallace in the 1970 gubernatorial campaign. It lists "Seven Proven Reasons Why Wallace Can Do More for You as Governor!" These include his experience, leadership and motivation; plans to continue his wife's programs ("which have laid untouched since 1967, although the money has been available"); a "bold and imaginative program" for Alabama in the 1970s; and the pledge that "when he is governor, no liquor will be served in the mansion and the mansion will be open to the public at all times." The leaflet includes a vague reference to the Democratic primary, which Albert Brewer won by a narrow majority (though Wallace defeated him in the runoff): "The out-of-state forces and in-state bloc showed their strength by delivering 250,000 votes to their candidate on May 5. Only you can stop the complete takeover of your election on June 2. Stand up for Alabama."
