Search centers on eight for McGovern running mate
The search for a new Democratic vice presidential candidate centers on eight men after Sen. Thomas Eagleton's withdrawal. Fortunes favor Sen. Frank Church, Lawrence F. O'Brien, and Sen. Edmund Muskie, with others like Gov. Reubin Askew, Sargent Shriver, Abraham Ribicoff, and Gaylord Nelson named as possibilities. Ed Kennedy remains McGovern’s first choice, though his public stance avoids national office.

Problems Loom for Committee
Washington AP reports that the Democratic National Committee faces familiar procedural battles to select a replacement for Sen. Eagleton as vice president. The panel must reconcile new rules with old committee structure, as McGovern’s choice is likely to be ratified. Delegations clash over seating while Eagleton’s withdrawal raises questions about proxy votes totaling 3,016. About one third of new members await election, delaying final action by up to two weeks.
