Nixon Aide Denies Thurmond Had Veto Power
Nixon press secretary Herbert Klein said Strom Thurmond never had veto power over Nixon’s vice presidential pick and Agnew was not on Thurmond’s list. Klein cited Thurmond’s broad influence in keeping the South aligned with Nixon and noted Volpe was not among Nixon’s final two choices. He added Wallace’s third party bid was waning while Congress eyed adjournment ahead of the election.

Humphrey Attacks Nixon On Doubletalk In Campaign
Vice President Hubert Humphrey accused Richard Nixon of political doubletalk as he launched a third major campaign tour. He warned of distrust in both Nixon and third candidate George Wallace, urged voters to look beyond North South rhetoric, and outlined plans to focus on large states like New York and Michigan while acknowledging Nixon gains in smaller electoral vote states. Humphrey scheduled stops in Erie Wilkes-Barre Scranton and Pennsylvania television appearances amid a nationwide sprint toward solidifying support.
