Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 7, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant new vol. 92, no. 263 partly Cloudy it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening november 7, 1970 Price to cents by John Chamberlain these Days i could appoint 99 county attorneys Nixon May have averted a terrible off year trouncing did Richard Nixon win or did he lose by taking his Case to the country and by dispatching his vice president to make rhetorical forays All Over the place the arguments Over the presidents very Active strategy a the a game plan a As the newest and by now worked to death phrase has it a will rage from now to 1972. Measured against Nixon a Hopes for a Republican majority in the . Senate the Campaign must be called a disappointment for the White House strategists. Murray Chotiner who has the reputation for being Good at kicking others must now be kicking himself. But this does not necessarily prove that Nixon was wrong in taking to the hustings and putting his reputation for being a shrewd political animal on the line. While he failed to gain the Power to reorganize the Senate and to rid himself of the incubus of j. William Fulbright a control of the Senate foreign relations committee he did manage to break the old tradition which says the opposition party must make big congressional gains in the off year elections. By staying More or less even Nixon May have succeeded in doing All that was humanly possible under the circumstances. Too what the critics of Nixon a strategy miss is that the republicans actually had very Little going for them in the Way of Good Campaign issues. They make a glory thing out of Vietnam the Best they could do Here was to say they were getting out without losing the War. They really translate the so called social Issue into winning politics across the Board democrats such As Adlai Stevenson the third in Illinois managed to take on defensive trappings As Good Law and order men in time to counteract their injudicious statements of 1968. There remained the economic Issue. This if the democrats had been Able to exploit it could have resulted in a Republican disaster.

Too Nixon by forcing the democrats to do defensive Battle on the Law and order Issue minimized the lugubrious effects of the rising unemployment the secondary consequences of the general motors strike and the continued upward Strain of the retail Price level. If the Campaign had lasted a few weeks longer with More unemployment in the aerospace and the automobile parts industries the republicans could have really taken it on the Chin. As it was Nixon got away with some notable victories. His a obedience training course a prescribed for dissident senators took hold in Maryland where Joseph Tydings bit the Dustin Tennessee where Fulbright a abrasive ideological twin the Veteran Albert Gore was beaten by the personable Bill Brockland in new York state where Charles Goodell a Republican who had done nothing for the republicans lost to conservative Jim Buckley who is a better Nixon Man than gov. Nelson Rockefeller. On the House level Nixon can take heart from the defeat of a few Way out characters such As dump Lyndon John son rep. Allard Lowenstein of Nassau county new York and from the sober Victory speech of demo cratic congressman Giaimo of Connecticut who obliquely condemned the dominant Wing in his party for picking a Radical americans for democratic action National chairman Joe Duffey in the primary to run for the . Senate. Too the youth worshippers will have to explain Why John Tunney was almost the sole Kennedy Ite other than Teddy himself to win. The vaunted Southern strategy seems to have failed the republicans vide Lloyd Bentsen a Victory Over George Bush in the Texas senatorial con test the failure of Albert Watson to become Republican governor of South Carolina and the stupid shambles which William Clamer made of his senatorial race in Florida by relying on Madison Avenue to packaging. But before the democrats do too much chortling about their Dixie successes they should reflect on the fact that the Southern democrats who won were pretty much on the conservative Side.
