Campaign '72: Dirtiest in years
Washington (UPI) the 1872 political campaigns appear to be the dirtiest in recent years the Fair Campaign Practices Committee said mid campaign analysis showed the committee had handled more complaints about dirty politics in the first five weeks of the race than were handled during a comparable period since the committee started keeping statistics. Since Labor Day, the committee said, it had received 21 complaints of violation of the Code of Fair Campaign Practices. Taft said that this is more than twice as many as in 1968 and could rise. He noted two reasons for the surge including abuse of free mailing privileges and a negative year with candidates attacking opponents' positions.
