Campaign Gamble By Sen. Church
Washington AP reports Senator Frank Church plans a late burst for the Democratic presidential nomination, betting on strong showings in the New Jersey Ohio Rhode Island Montana Idaho Oregon and California primaries. He cites new campaign finance laws and a crowded field as factors that could erase early frontrunner advantages. He notes a million and a half dollars to even appear in New York and says his strategy targets late primaries while the main field fights in early states. County forecast accompanies the piece with increasing clouds and cool temperatures.
