McGovern closes South swing in Little Rock stop
Sen George S McGovern wrapped his last campaign leg in the South at Little Rock predicting a great Democratic victory. He rallied about 6000 at an airport event and urged a new quest in elections while criticizing Nixon and urging peace in Vietnam. He cited Pryor and Bumpers as supporters and proposed Mills as a potential treasury secretary. Mrs McGovern and their family attended as he urged voters to resist polls and leadership drift. A separate North Little Rock section reports Virginia Penny saying a Nixon sign was ripped and she was harassed at the rally by Democrats as Nixon supporters observed.
