Page two editorial comments discuss Democratic candidate McGovern and President Nixon with notes on campaign spending, reporters quoted in Texas and Washington, and predictions of a tough November election for McGovern while acknowledging the President’s fundraising strength.
The piece argues McGovern’s candidacy is hindered by a financial crisis. It notes large sums are needed to run a campaign, with Seren Nip representing big business and wealth. Critics warn money from affluent interests could influence policy and threaten Democratic control if funds dwindle.
Former contractor turned businessman criticizes new federal rules aimed at small firms. Rep Larry Winn notes three employees plus owner triggers coverage under occupational standards.

Washington officials in the Nixon administration face edginess over Sen George McGovern's charges that grain sales to the Soviet Union pushed prices up in late July. Secretary Earl Butz called the allegations a bald faced lie and said some wheat producers were short changed. The National Association of Wheat Growers urged action to address what it terms a prime inequity after farmers in the south reportedly sold wheat before the market responded to the Soviet purchases.
Butz defended administration officials over McGovern’s claims about secret Soviet wheat sales in Moscow last April and July and said farmers did not get extra money from early sales. He conceded that government payments to some wheat growers may be trimmed this year due to a July to November market rise, while noting farmers overall would benefit from higher prices and Soviet sales. NAWG suggests possible congressional action could add 20 to 25 million dollars to early sellers. Four more steer livers tested positive for DES under the mandatory certification rule, raising concerns about growth hormone use in beef production.
