Fall Campaign Pits Small Town Doctor vs Bigtown Lawyer
Indiana race opens as Dr Otis Bowen from Bremen wins Republican nomination for governor at the state convention and faces Democrat Matthew Welsh of Indianapolis. Bowen vows to cut back his medical practice while Welsh begins his campaign for the November 7 election with a slate including Robert Orr, Theodore Sendak, Harold Negley, and Marilou Wertzler. Bowen previously failed to win the nomination in 1968 and secured victory on the first ballot in a four-way contest despite no clear majority for any running mate or school chief.
