- Description:
- Herman Eugene Talmadge (1913-2002), son of Gov. Eugene Talmadge, was born in 1913 in Telfair County, Georgia. In 1946, Talmadge ran his father's successful Democratic race for governor, though the elder Talmadge died before he could take office.The state legislature elected Herman to take his father's place, but the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled the move unconstitutional.Talmadge came back to win a special election in 1948, and served a full term as governor in 1950.; H. E. Talmadge makes a public appearance, along with a panel of academics, at an event hosted by the Georgia Political Heritage Program on May 6, 1986 at West Georgia College.; After a program introduction by West Georgia College President, Maurice K. Townsend, Dr. Mel Steely provides a brief background of the Georgia Political Heritage Program and introduces Talmadge and the discussion's topic: presidents that Talmadge has known. Talmadge provides a brief overview of all the presidents that had presided as commander in chief throughout his life, giving assessments of each. Talmadge is asked to assess the military use of each president, whom he would feel most comfortable with presiding today. Other topics discussed are media involvement in politics, Kennedy's assassination, Civil Rights, the Vietnam War, draft dodgers, agricultural policymaking, environmental protection, etc. Questions are then opened to the public; issues such as economic issues, the Panama Canal, foreign policy, J. Edgar Hoover, Atlanta newspapers, etc., are discussed.
