Pleasant Iowa saturday evening october 31, 1970price to cents Jeffrey Hart the significance of Phil Hoff when you walk Down Tine main Street of Hanover n. H., one thing that strikes you is the number of oars there sporting read Folte and Blue with stars Hoff bumper stickers. Philip Hoff is the democratic nominee for senator from Vermont and Hanover of course is More or less synonymous with Dartmouth College an academic Community spilling Over into nearby Norwich Vermont just across the Connecticut River and perhaps half a mile Distant. Those Hoff stickers Are very much the thing this fall a most of them if not literally at least figuratively speaking pasted Over the stickers of yesterday Boycott grapes Stop the War the abm is an Edsel planned parenthood Humphrey Muskie Eugene Mccarthy. These Are the transient bad Ges of conspicuous virtue. The sacraments of political enlightenment. Calm assertions of invincible moral superiority. Phil Hoff is a a hourly outgoing attractive fellow and tie was great vote getter in Vermont As a two term governor until he stepped Down in 1968. But he has undergone a How to put it a development., As governor he was consciously in the new Frontier Mode or at least in one of its modes Bright energetic bristling with programs for the state. Some of his programs made sense. And the general impression was of furious and purposeful activity. was going to get Vermont moving again. Be was not at least As he struck most people very ideological. Too during 1968, however As he moved toward private life he Slid precipitously left a the Hoff phenomenon oddly paralleling that of Unruh in California. broke with Johnson endorsed Bobby Kennedy then supported Mccarthy against Humphrey. At the Chicago democratic convention he associated himself with the schematic left and during the next two years on Issue after Issue Hoff became in distinguishable from any automatic left Democrat. Quot if the election were held around Here a said a Friend of mine in the Dartmouth Art department to think Hoff would win just about that is a result he certainly will not achieve though he May just possibly win among the citizenry of Vermont.

For example a prominent democratic county chairman actually went so far As to join the Prouty Campaign tour through Central Vermont and the Burlington free press the states largest newspaper backs Prouty. The Vermont race has thus developed an intensity and a National significance unusual for that state. A Prouty Victory is essential if the plans of the Nixon administration for changing the balance of Power in the Senate Are to have any Chance of Success. And if Hoff loses it will be recalling his electoral prowess As governor a because he has so to say been scam Man led he has forgotten where the real majority actually resides.
