A decisive Wisconsin win could force Humphrey to quit the race and return to Minnesota to pursue renomination to the Senate. Supporters credit Rockefeller’s withdrawal for boosting both Kennedy and Humphrey, arguing the March party field favors liberal contenders who contrast Nixon.

Charlotte sign ban to be appealed by city officials
City officials said they will appeal to the State Supreme Court an order by Superior Court Judge Francis Clarkson enjoining enforcement of the downtown Charlotte sign ban. Mayor James Smith and City Atty John Shaw said the temporary order, signed Tuesday, delays the ordinance that would impose a 50 daily fine on merchants not complying. The judge said the rule is unfair for covering only a limited area and excluding hotels and theater marquees.
