Muskie urges mock credentials council to avert convention clash
Senator Edmund Muskie refused to drop out and urged rival candidates to hold a credentials council before the Democratic convention. He warned California and Illinois challenges could lead to a horrendous toll and casualties for the party. A McGovern aide signaled possible consideration of Muskie’s approach but insisted no compromise on California. Muskie said he would stay a candidate until the convention ends and proposed telegraph talks with Lawrence O'Brien to resolve disputes without unduly shaping the nomination.
