Brewer Won’t Tailor Campaign Against Wallace
Gov Albert Brewer said he will not tailor his 1970 gubernatorial bid to run against George Wallace or any other candidate, arguing they are competing with him. He expressed optimism about re election and urged voters to focus on campaign issues rather than personalities. He noted low turnout on Tuesday’s amendment election and supported home rule, hoping the Constitutional Revision Commission can end statewide ratification of local proposals. He added the State Prison Board is making slow but real headway in selecting a full time successor to Frank Lee after his resignation.
