Small Checks In McGovern Mail
Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern said small contributors form the heart of his financing in stark contrast to Nixon’s re election effort. He reported 1.8 million mail contributions of 100 dollars or less since July and noted 173,220 donors, 63,220 since the convention, forming the Million Member Club. Dees, directing the direct mail, estimated total funds near 2 million with a goal of 25 million, while aiming to keep large donors from industry and labor in check.
