November 7, 1972 Vol. VII No. 45 Three Sections 116 Pages Complimentary McGovern Wins: Youth Vote Was Crucial By Jeff Rosen- Ed. note: The following is excerpted from How McGovern Won the Presidency and Why the Polls Were Wrong by Arthur Tobier, published Oct. 6 by Outerbridge Lazard Ballantine Books, $.95. NEW YORK- Nov. 8. After a night which few political analysts are likely to forget. Senator George McGovern, the South Dakota liberal who eight months ago seemed impossibly far from the presidency, appeared to have won the election as the thirty-eighth President of the United States. For hours the results in a dozen key states were too close to call and Mr. McGovern ' s fortunes were constant- ly shifting, but by 5:00 a.m. the Democratic candidate had built up safe leads in sixteen stales and appeared close to victory in two others — California and Illinois — for a total of 276 electoral votes, six more than necessary. McGovern supporters were jubilant. Some of them who had been behind the Senator since the bleak days last January when the polls gave him less than 10 percent of the vote and the nomination seemed remote were in tears. As the Pennsylvania and New York vote came in and the McGovern lead solidified there were cheers from the crowd. The excitement reached a peak when the victories in Califor- nia and Illinois finally appeared sure. Ironically, although McGovern was the apparent winner, he was trailing in popular votes. At 5:00 a.m. President Nixon had 36.041,- 381 votes to Mr. McGovern’s .36.018,947 votes. President Nixon seemed certain to win 191 electoral votes from 27 states. He was leading in six others including Michigan and Texas which would bring his total to 262. In no other Presidential election [Continued on page 23] Nixon-Four, America-Zero By William Kowinski Crucial to the conventional wisdom about this year ' s presiden- tial campaign is the belief that the moral energy fueling the McCarthy and Kennedy peace candidacies in 1968 is missing this fall. If this drought of enthusiasm is real, it is certainly one of many bizarre aspects of this campaign. In the four years since the McCarthy campaign. President Nixon has given orders resulting in the deaths of forty per cent of the Americans killed in Vietnam. His administra- tion has aided and abetted the persecution of the Chicago 7, numerous Black Panthers, the Berrigans. Angela Davis. Daniel Ellsberg and others. In the period that began with Free Huey and ended with Free .Angela, Nixon freed Lt. Calley and Jimmy Hoffa. Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia that set the nation’s campuses aflame in 1970; when four Kent State students were shot and killed by National Guardsmen, Nixon blamed the students. The corrup- tion in his administration neither began nor is likely to end with Watergate. Yet, the press has been saying. college students have been deflected from calling Nixon to account on these issues. Mike Royko. the Chicago columnist, noted that this year many young people formerly in the vanguard of the anti-war movement “...have even taken an interest in other aspects of the campaign, such as wondering if McGovern would be a competent administrator. In 1968, none of them cared if Senator McCarthy had enough administrative skill to pick out a necktie i n the morning” [Continued on page 6[
