THE QUESTION SiT OVER Pepse ITS OVER AFAIR [Q PRESS. | 1D rest: reaffirming their demand for moderation in political affairs the American people selected their president by an over- whelming majority for the second time in eight years in 1972. If extremism in the defense of liberty was indeed a vice in 1964, then so was extremism in the defense of socialism in 1972. Senator George S. McGovern, a relative unknown in the early 1972 Democratic lineup of possible presidential nominees, correctly read the Democratic Convention but misread the Democratic Party and the American people, winning the nomination in Miami Beach but losing horribly to President Richard M. November. Nine Democrats took the campaign trail in the spring; front-runner Nixon in besides McGovern Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine, Senators Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, Henry (Scoop) Jackson of Washington, and Vance Hartke of Indiana, and former Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, Congress- woman Shirley Chisolm of New York, Governor George Wallace of Alabama, and 120 DID THE.

But after a poor showing in the Wisconsin primary, Muskie announced his withdrawal from the primaries, and in Laurel, Maryland a would-be assassin’s bullet paralyzed George Wallace and shattered his presi- dential hopes, and McGovern began making gains. The man who had gained a reputa- tion as a party reformer after he helped reshape the Democratic convention rules after the 1968 disaster in Chicago, McGovern gathered strong support through his populist appeal and his image as a left-of-center apostle of the so-called New Politics. He also possessed an excel- lent organization of tireless young workers. At the turbulent but relatively peace- ful Democratic National Convention in July McGovern overcame a stop- McGovern movement when the creden- tials committee returned to him 151 California delegates that his opponents had argued were won in violation of the con- vention’s far reaching reform rules, and he easily won first ballot nomination on July 12. The finely tuned decorum of the mas- terfully orchestrated Republican National Convention that met in the same hall six weeks later was in sharp contrast to the excitement the Democrats had brought Miami Beach. The week’s biggest excitement was the rare Republican goof that caused Walter Cronkite to try to explain to a waiting nation that they were seeing tomor- row’s movie today, while the delegates were seeing today’s movie tomorrow. There was one floor fight, an important battle over a delegate-reform proposal to in- crease representation of the populous states at the 1976 convention. Liberals and moder- ates from the populous states organized the unsuccessful battle to prevent small-state and Southern conservatives from assuring the 1976 presidential nomination of Spiro Agnew. Nixon was nominated on August 22 ”
