Wallace campaigns in Massachusetts for third party ballot
George C. Wallace the former Alabama governor campaigned in Massachusetts seeking signatures to appear on the presidential ballot as a third party candidate. He spoke to about 300 supporters in Newburyport near the site of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Harold E. Stassen predicted an open Republican convention and no Nixon or Rockefeller nomination, saying he would carry the GOP banner. Andrew Young of the SCLC criticized Nixon for stoking racism. Nixon urged Congress to back mandatory prison terms for crimes involving firearms and warned against arming the public. Ronald Reagan said his national speaking was to aid the Republican Party, denying a bid for the presidency despite Rockefeller’s remarks.
