McCarthy Concedes It Is Not His Year for President
Chicago report on Eugene J. McCarthy resigning himself to 1968 not being his year for the presidency. He permits his name to be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention while acknowledging Hubert Humphrey’s nomination may be secured. Frequent references show McCarthy's doubt about delaying Kennedy support and potential vote counts around 700 to 900 with Ted Kennedy unlikely to change course. The piece also notes McCarthy’s belief that the Democrats face internal division and that the Republicans may win in November.
