Humphrey said he would accept George Wallace if the Alabama governor would back a liberal Democratic platform but called the chance highly unreal. He warned that a Wallace ticket would be the kiss of death to the Democratic Party and urged realism during talks with governors in Houston and Los Angeles.
The text notes Humphrey weighing the cost of remaining party leader but fears a split within his party. An adviser says he must choose between pursuing the presidency and ending Nixon’s hold, amid warnings of internal discord resembling the 1968 split with Eugene McCarthy.
With 22,638 of 22,647 precincts reporting, Democrat McGovern leads with 1,527,485 votes (45 percent) followed by Humphrey 1,352,259 (40 percent). Wallace 161,220 (5), Chisholm 155,088 (4), Muskie 71,684 (2), Yorly 49,455 (1), Jackson 2,180 (1), Lindsay 26,473 (1), McCarthy 33,528 (1).
