National developments in party campaigns and ballots
Florida secretary of state Bruce Smathers accused former North Carolina governor Terry Sanford of keeping his name on the Florida ballot to keep federal election funds. Sanford denied the charge and declined further federal money. In Kansas City, Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen predicted Wallace would win the most delegate votes at the July Democratic convention but not be on the final ticket. Mississippi caucuses put Wallace at 45 percent, Carter 13 percent, with 27 percent uncommitted. Carter aims to beat Wallace in Florida on March 9, while Jackson pledged jobs for all if elected. Ronald Reagan planned a three city swing through North Carolina as he pursues the Republican nomination.
