Atlanta mayor race sees
Andrew Young in run-off
United Press International
ATLANTA — Former U.N.
Ambassador Andrew Young failed
to win the easy victory he predict
ed in his race for mayor of Atlanta
and must face a white lieral state
legislator in an Oct. 27 runoff
dominated by racial and econom
ic factors.
Young, who confidently pre
dicted a first round victory even
when early partial returns
showed him slightly trailing State
Rep. Sidney Marcus, Tuesday
night led with 41.4 percent in a
non-partisan citywide race be
tween seven mayoral candidates.
Marcus forced Young into the re
match by getting about 38.1 per
cent of the vote.
Fulton County Commissioner
A. Reginald Eaves, a black former
city police commissioner who ran
on a tough law and order plat
form, took 16.1 percent of the
vote — almost all of it in heavily
black southside precincts Young
had been depending on to offset
Marcus’ strength on the affluent
northside.
“We were not beaten because
we did not get the percentage of
the white vote that we expected, ”
Young shouted over a tumult of
chanting supporters early today.
“We were beaten because Reggie
Eaves got a bigger percentage of
the black vote than we expected.”
Young, 49, ran a six-month
campaign based largely on his re
putation as a negotiator and coali
tion builder in the civil rights
movement, three successful con
gressional races and his some
times turbulent stint at the
United Nations. He was shunned
by the downtown business com
munity as Mayor Maynard Jack
son’s man in the race, but had the
near unanimous backing of black
leaders.
Jackson, who warmly endorsed
Young, was forbidden by the city
charter to seek a third term.
Marcus, promising to be a
“full-time hands-on adminis
trator” based his appeal on eco
nomic development and said his
rapport with the state legislature
would be valuable to the city in
the Reagan era of federal fund
reductions.
His image as a good adminis
trator was tarnished, however by
disclosure that he had to pay
$14,000 in overdue taxes and late
charges on his personal and busi
ness properties.
About 1,000 Young supporters,
most of them wearing blue T-
shirts enscribed “Ain’t no stop
ping us now,” crowded into the
converted automobile dealership
where Young made his downtown
headquarters and chanted “An-
dee! An-dee!” as Young made his
post-midnight pep talk. Sur
rounded by his wife and daugh
ters, Young attacked Marcus for
spending more than $500,000 on
a campaign dominated by televi
sion advertising in his eight-
month race.
“This campaign is not going to
be won on TV with money. It’s
going to be won the streets with
campaign workers,” Young said.
“I’m calling on Mr. Marcus to
climb down out of his chariot and
meet the citizens of Atlanta.”
