McGovern May Ditch O'Brien In Presidential Bid
Senator George McGovern indicated he may replace Democratic National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien and even consider a female successor such as Jean Westwood if he secures the nomination. He backed away from a broad guaranteed income plan, proposing tax credits instead, and discussed campaign staffing changes for a fall effort. He claimed substantial delegate support, then had figures refined by aides, with total pledged votes around the 1,470 mark and several new commitments from delegates across multiple states. The piece also notes pheasant concerns in New York due to mowing schedules, with solutions suggested to protect nesting hens.
