Wallace says it matters not who the Demo nominee is
George C. Wallace, running as an American Independent, told a Phoenix crowd that Democratic nominee choice matters little since all are “about the same.” He planned a dinner fund ruing and rally, spoke of possible nominating conventions, and listed Houston Miami St Petersburg Cincinnati and Louisville as possible sites. Backers sold 300 tickets for the dinner at a 500 seat hall and a 12,000 seat Veterans Memorial Coliseum rally followed. Wallace wrapped a California campaign with a Long Beach arena address drawing about 6,000 people.

Democrats Abolish Century Old Unit Rule at Convention
At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago the unit rule was abolished in a voice vote after debate over delaying abolition to 1972. Delegations from nine states and territories had supported voting the majority’s choice, potentially freeing McCarthy aligned delegates in Oregon and Massachusetts while most unit-rule states stayed with their blocs. The move came as temporary rules were adopted Monday night.
