Dems Switch Veep Pick Could Not Alter Election
In Dallas, Nixon campaign manager Clark McGregor dismissed Democrats switching from Senator Eagleton to Sargent Shriver as vice president, saying it would not meaningfully affect the November outcome. He cited Texas as crucial with 23 electoral votes and framed busing as a minor issue. McGregor named Erik Johnson and William Clements as Texas co‑chairs and urged Wallace voters toward Nixon in Texas, Michigan, and Florida.

A Fine Mess Scofflaws King Abdicates in Pittsburg
Charles Fragapane, 46, abdicated as king of the scofflaws before Chief Magistrate Robert Dauer, seeking more time to raise 1640 in fines on 120 parking tickets. Tillman K. Saylor, 24, Republican Chairman George Willeford, discussed political tension as Saylor paid 1011 in fines for 15 parking tickets. The piece ties Fragapane's claim to a larger Texas GOP stance amid Nixon era politics and the McGovern-Shriver ticket.
