Humphrey:
McCormack:
Unannounced though willing
Although Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey is yet unannounced as a
candidate for President, the
Minnesota Democrat remains,
after three unsuccessful bids,
an unabashed aspirant.
He has been coy, and has
not excluded himself from
being drafted to the job al
though his chances seem in
creasingly dim after his refusal
to announce in labor-oriented
states. Observers have consi
dered those states to be his
stronghold.
“The Happy Warrior,” as he
calls himself, points to his re
cord as a crusader for civil
rights legislation in the 1950s
and as a founder of the Ameri
cans for Democratic Action.
But he rarely refers to his term
as vice-president under Lyn
don Johnson.
He calls himself a com
promiser in foreign policy, be
lieving that the United States
must remain tough, but saying
that we must avoid foreign en
tanglements.
Humphrey has served as
U S. Senator from Minnesota
since 1949, and was vice
president under Lyndon John
son. He was re-elected as
Minnesota Senator in 1971.
A one-issue campaign supports
political struggle for right to life
Ellen McCormack, Democ
ratic candidate for President,
is a housewife who is running a
one-issue campaign: The
Right to Life.
“I am running for President,”
she says, “because there are
certain principles in which I be
lieve deeply. In addition to my
views that women who support
the traditional values must ex
press themselves in order to
neutralize what the feminists
are doing in our name, I be
lieve in the Right to Life of
every human being from the
first moment of existence until
the last moment of death.”
“Those who advocate abor
tion,” she says, “often admit
that it takes a human life but
they contend it does not matter

But I believe there is no human
being too small., or too
young...or, for that matter, too

too dependent...or too any

housewife who writes a syndi

WdlldC6! It’s his fourth try for president but Carter is dimming his star
Alabama Governor George
Wallace, Democratic candi
date for President, is waging
his fourth bid for the office
since 1964.
But with the emergence of
Jimmy Carter, Wallace's star
has dimmed considerably.
The Oregon Ballot must, by
law, be written by the Secret
ary of State by March 25 and
Wallace s name is still on the
Democratic ledger. While he
has not withdrawn formally in
his try for the White House, he
hopes a strong showing in the
relatively late primaries will
give him the position of power
broker in the national conven
tion.
Wallace has spoken out
against forced busing, and
other programs mandated by
the federal government.
These programs, he says, are
wasteful and unfair.
He calls for a hard-line

Although he steadfastly
maintains that he is not a can

D-Mass., is on the Oregon
ballot.
Oregon law says the ballot
must be drawn up 60 days be

Democrats all over the
country have been urging him
to announce in hopes that he
could activate the dormant
machinery and unify the party.
But at this time, he still has re
fused, and has repeated that if
drafted, he would not serve.
Still, after all this, he remains
to many the most attractive
candidate in the party. He has
built a reputation as a champ
ion of organized labor, and has
spoken many times for the
cause of civil rights.
And there is always the
Kennedy charisma: The intan
gible ability to excite crowds
and make them feel there is

approaching, many of his op

from the race.

Sen. Henry Jackson,

He says detente is a noble

WQ3II- left at the end
Democrat Morris Udall, U.S.
Representative from Arizona,
says the key to rebuilding a
battered economy is the de
velopment of new energy re
sources.
“We must stop trying to
make the future look like the
past...Our energy future key is
in harnessing the infinite
power of the sun, wind, tide,
and earth’s core.”
Udall feels the energy issue
is the key to America's
economic woes. “America can
beat inflation by adopting a
tough energy-conservation
program to break the back of
the international oil cartel and
bring down the oil company
profits," he says.
Udall claims $20 billion a
year escapes through tax
loopholes. He favors change
in the tax laws to discourage
corporate monopolies, and
would make big business pay
taxes at rates small busines
ses pay.
Udall has served in the U S.
House of Representatives
since 1961.
Jackson supports an in
crease for housing production
and stimulation for all depre
ssed industries. He also would
institute public service jobs
during periods of high unemp
loyment.
Jackson has been a strong
supporter of civil rights legisla
tion, and says his voting record
on housing or job equality
should earn him votes in the
minority communities.
Jackson has courted one
minority in particular. Jews
here and abroad acknowledge
his support of the State of Is
rael since its birth.
Jackson was Democratic
National Committee Chairer in
1961.
