Mills Speculates on Presidential Nomination Odds
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills stands in a favorable position for the Democratic nomination if the race continues as is, says adviser Delois Walker. Walker argues Mills could be an acceptable compromise candidate between liberals and conservatives, with strength in the South and hopes for Massachusetts and Rhode Island primaries. He notes Mills’ NH results were modest due to write-in challenges and estimates total ad spending around $120,000.

Unknown Candidate Says Miracles Are Possible
Third party candidate Richard B. Kay says he believes in miracles and could become president, but he faces a personality cult around George Wallace. Kay, 53, a Cleveland lawyer, is the least known and least financed candidate in 1972 and struggles to gain visibility for the American Party banner. He spoke at a Washington news conference with only one reporter present, noting pockets of support while acknowledging his national profile is handicapped. He previously ran for the Senate in Ohio and worked on the My Lai trial team.
