Wallace third party bid fading as Wallace weighs plans
Miami Beach AP reports that Governor George C. Wallace faces dwindling chances for a third party presidential bid. A campaign spokesman says no plan is set, while manager Snider claims support for a stronger third party option exists. Wallace, wheelchairbound from the May 15 shooting, also faces debt and fundraising hurdles as he contemplates political and health constraints. State leaders fear a McGovern-Nixon split may prompt Alabama to consider a special session to rewrite election laws for split-ticket voting.
