Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 9, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa In the it pleasant news fair vol. 92, no. 160 it. Pleasant Iowa thursday evening july 9, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain a Byrd Buckley margin in the Senate of Clifton White the gifted Campaign manager who recently helped Anderson Carter win an astonishing Victory in the Republican senatorial primary in new Mexico will be the Man at the throttle for James Buckley the conservative party nominee for United states senator from new York and if president Richard Nixon s political advisers still have the sense they were born with they should be cavorting with Joy All Over the South Lawn of the White House. The reason is that Nixon in his to the death Battle for his foreign policy needs philosophical support in the . Senate far More than he needs a purely mathematical margin of nominal republicans. White was a Coldwater Man in 1964, a Ronald Reagan Man in 1968, but this is water Over the dam. The Point is that he is a Nixon Man now on All the issues that count. And Jim Buckley whom White has taken on As his Tiger to defeat the anti Nixon Republican nominee for senator Charles a flip Flop goo Dell is the Only Nixon senatorial candidate on View in the Empire state. Too the Buckley candidacy which will be run with real professional smoothness by White is All the More important to Richard Nixon because of what has recently happened in Virginia. The virginian situation is comparable to the new York state situation in every important Way. There will be three senatorial candidates in Virginia this fall a the incumbent democratic senator Harry f. Byrd jr., who is running As an Independent a Republican nominee Ray Garland and a democratic candidate who is still to be named. Garland who was forced on the Virginia republicans by governor Linwood Holton in an incredibly Bone headed move cannot possibly win. The White House tried to Tell Holton that but Garland could Hurt Harry Byrd who is needed by Richard Nixon in the Senate simply because Byrd though he has become disillusioned like virtually every american about the far East is a thoroughly decent Man who would never permit his country to accept a dishonourable defeat. If Byrd is re elected despite the opposition of the Holborn Garland republicans a minority in their own party if the non registered types Are included he May not vote with the republicans to organize the Senate. After All he has his old friends among the Southern conservative democrats who have seniority in More than one big committee. However he would be on Nixon a Side in crucial votes and that is what will count. It would be interesting come november if a Byrd Buckley duo proves to be the margin that gives Richard Nixon a 51-49 philosophical domination of a Senate which As presently constituted has been mauling him badly. Naturally Nixon can to admit in Public to preferring philosophy to party. But if he wants to succeed in his efforts to achieve an orderly extrication from Indochina that will leave non communist governments in Power in that part of the world he had better Pray every night for both Buckley and Byrd. Too a recent poll in Virginia gives Byrd 44 per cent of the vote which is enough to win against a split Field. In new York state a poll shows Goodell ahead with 44 per cont the democratic candidate Richard Ottinger second with 28 per cent and Jim Buckley third with 26 per cent. Two per cent were undecided. But the Campagna Hasni to started yet. Ottinger must strive to run to tile left of Goodell it will take some doing to retain the new York City vote which Means that Buckley will be facing two liberals at a time that Republican conservative Are angry at the Goodell repudiation of his old voting record in the House of representatives. Meanwhile Ottinger will be playing up the Goodell turncoat business for All it is Worth. The ethnic bag will help Buckley some Liberal jews who might have voted for Goodell if ted Sorensen had been the democratic nominee will surely vote for Ottinger. Meanwhile Clif White will be finding his emotions grabbed As they have never been grabbed before by the Job of putting Buckley Over.
