Mills leaves door ajar for a presidential draft
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, now a Democratic fund raiser, says he would consider a presidential draft if a genuine one developed while denying he is a candidate. He doubts a real draft will materialize but would accept the nomination if offered. Rep. Ray Blanton supports Mills as the right figure to beat Nixon in 1972. Speaker Carl Albert commends Mills but won’t back a candidate now.
