Scott set the theme for the national GOP convention in Chicago July 25 with an all- out attack on Democratic par ty leaders before the estimat ed 500 plus crowd attending the Republican Luau. During a lengthy running commentary on last week's national Democratic conven tion in Los Angeles, Senator Scott remarked, "Los Angeles has been known as the city of Angels but it will have a hard time regaining its title now," and "The Kennedy ticket is the wrong-end-to ticket, with the heaviest candidate at the bottom.
