Wallace Announces VP Running Mate
ATLANTA, Ga. <A > ) — Former
Alabama Gov. George Wallace
announced today that former
Georgia Gov. Marvin Griffin will
be listed as his vice-presidential
running mate in order to satisfy
procedural requirements in sev
eral states.
Wallace made the announce
ment at a news conference.
Asked when he would announce
his permanent vice-presidential
candidate, Wallace replied: “Well,
in a way, we did that today and
it may well be that M’r. Griffin
will be the candidate.”
Griffin earlier issued a state
ment saying he has agreed to
“lend my name to Gov. George
Wallace as a vice-presidential
candidate in order to help him in
meeting some of the procedural
requirements in several states.”
Griffin said: “I think Gov.
Wallace ought to have the right
to name his vice-presidential can
didate just like the other major
candidates and the two existing
parties do not have to name their
vice-presidential running mates
until August. I am making it
possible for Gov. Wallace to do
the same thing.”
Griffin’s announcement added:
“I told the governor that he could
put up my name and then decide
in his own good time what he
wants to do.”
Griffin said that several states
have early deadlines for the nam
ing of a vice-presidential candi
date and he has offered his name
to help Wallace meet procedural
requirements. The former Georgia
governor said he would serve in
any capacity desired by Wallace.
