(1967-1971) and lieutenant governor (1971-1975), as well as his 1966 gubernatorial and 1968 campaigns. Brewton collected the
materials for the purpose of writing a biography of Maddox, although it was never published. Audiovisual materials in the
collection supplement the paper materials documenting Maddox's term as governor of Georgia and his subsequent campaigns for
president of the United States in 1968 and for lieutenant governor of Georgia in 1970. Included among the four audiocassettes
and 22 reels of ¼" audiotape are recordings of several campaign commercials for radio broadcast for both campaigns and speeches
delivered for public events and private organizations throughout Georgia in his official capacity of governor.

These papers document the personal life of Melvin Ernest (M. E.) Thompson, Georgia's first lieutenant governor and participant
in the famed "Three Governors Controversy." The collection consists of personal correspondence, certificates and diplomas,
history regarding the Thompson and Edenfield families, clippings, campaign speeches and announcements, and Sunday school sermons
delivered by M. E. Thompson. Two hundred and nineteen, primarily black-and-white, photographs depict the Thompson family;
the dedication of the Little White House at Warm Springs in 1947; Thompson's campaigns; members of the Georgia House of Representatives
and Georgia Senate (1947-1948); and the unveiling of Thompson's portrait at the State Capitol. Of particular interest are
the six television campaign advertisements featuring Thompson's views about the county unit system, automobile tags, taxation,
the state highway system and toll roads, and the integration of Georgia's public schools.
