Presidential Race Enters Final Stage
Peace in Vietnam and low drive for the presidency went into its last day. McGovern planned a final sweep across the country from New York to Los Angeles. Nixon prepared a windup speech at San Clemente. Agnew urged the public to resist elitist smears. Shriver urged Nixon to sign the peace accord and repair U.S. reputation. Polls forecast a Nixon-Agnew landslide as McGovern blasted Nixon as a Roman emperor and warned peace talks remain central. Nixon relaxed at San Clemente and said the election is a clear-cut choice with a ten-point agenda for a strong America.
