Georgia Governor Term Limit Fight Shifts After House Vote
Observations describe the Atlanta Capitol's tense scene as Representative Ben Fortson pushes a Constitutional Amendment to allow Governor Arnall a second term. The House fell ten votes short of two thirds, the Senate passed it, and Fortson abandoned reversals. The clash portends a fierce 1946 campaign with potential bids by Eugene Talmadge or B. D. Rivers, while the Arnall administration faces a shaken calm and possible partisan division.
