State Demo Candidates Seek To Avoid HHH Link
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)-
With only four weeks of the
campaign left, Hubert Humph-
rey’s stock has dipped so low
in Oklahoma, most Democratic
candidates are not even men-
tioning his name, for fear they
will be pulled down with him.
A visit to the Humphrey state
headquarters in Oklahoma City
revealed a huge room that
looked like the movers had al-
ready taken out much of the
furnishings. One lone secretary
was handling the telephone.
Democratic candidates for
lesser officer simply aren’t
mentioning Humphrey’s name.
This is in contrast to Repub-
lican candidates, who are shout-
ing Richard Nixon’s praises in
hopes of grabbing his coattails.
‘‘If we campaigned for Hum-
phrey,” said one Democratic
legislator, 'there is no way we
would help him, and it might
take us down with him.”
About the only hope Demo-
cratic boosters have, and this
is a fragile one, is this has
been such a crazy political
year, anything can happen.
Accompanying and a part of
the Humphrey disaster has
been the indication from polls
that Republican Richard M.
Nixon is leading the ticket with
George C. Wallace a strong sec-
ond.
Democrats had hoped the Nix-
on-Wallace vote would split, giv-
ing Humphrey the chance to
pull ahead. With the vote total
expected to exceed one million,
if divided evenly three ways, It
would take only a little more
than 333,000 to win.
Nothing Is Certain
That’s why no ooe with cer-
tainty can count anyone in or
out of the presidential race in
Oklahoma, although the odds at
this time indicate defeat for
Humphrey and victory for Nix-
on — with what may be more
than an outside chance Wallace
will overtake him.
A major share of the W allace
vote appears to be a protest
against present policy as well
as a relief valve for frustration.
This has detracted from protest
votes that presumably would
have gone to Nixoo had Wal-
lace not run.
Polls show largest defection
to Wallace is among Demo-
crats, whose registration out-
numbers Republicans four to
ooe. Wallace’s greatest appeal
is in the so-called Democratic
strongholds. Generally, Republi
cans tend to stay with Nixon.
The same polls Indicate slip-
page away from Democratic
candidates Is not as great in
other races. One theory is that
voters release their hostility by
supporting Wallace.
To date It appears the Wal-
lace vote has tended to weak-
en the coattail effect Nixon oth-
erwise would have for Republi-
can candidates. Should the pro-
test lap over heavily against in-
cumbents in noo-presidential
races. Republicans could reap
a bountiful harvest.
Fear Backlash
Democratic and Republican
leaders alike are concerned
about the Wallace impact. Both
parties have been reluctant to
attack Wallace for year of the
backlash in other contests.
However, Republicans have
started criticizing Wallace re-
cently as shown by Gov. Dew-
ey Bartlett's remarks that Wal-
lace is inept and has no plat-
form.
Democrat Jim Work of Okla-
homa City, chairman of the
state Humphrey organization,
also tossed some barbs at Wal-
lace this past week, calling him
a "racist” and "not qualified”
for the job.
GOP State Chairman E. L.
Bud Stewart said Wallace sup
porters should realize "they are
courting disaster.”
Most observers regard the
U. S. Senate race between
Democrat Mike Monrooey and
Republican Henry Bellmon as
"tight as a drum.” Monrooey
forces obviously are worried.
Both camps agree it will be
close.
Lineup Unchanged
Barring a Republican sweep,
the congressional lineup is ex-
pected to remain at four Demo-
crats and two Republicans, al-
though GOP leaders claim in-
cumbent Republican Jim Smith
is making inroads on Democrat
Tom Steed in the 4th district
This is the new district cre-
ated by a 1967 congressional re-
districting act that put two in-
cumbents in the same district.
Three remaining Democrat
incumbents — Carl Albert, Ed
Edmondson and John Jar-
man, and the other incumbent
Republican, Page Belcher, are
favored for re-election. Republi-
can John N. Happy Camp looks
like a sure winner over Demo-
crat John Goodwin in the new-
ly created 6th district. Neither
is an incumbent.
One unmeasured effect on the
W allace campaign has been the
selection of retired Air Force
Gen. Curtis LeMay as the Am-
erican party vice presidential
candidate.

By ED LIVERMORE
On the occasion of National
Newspaper Week press freedom
in this country was never under
greater attack and condemna-
tion.
Events of 1968 have proved
historic in nature and severe
in intensity. Two famous per-
sonalities have fallen before the
assassin's bullet, and protest
demonstrations become increas-
ingly worse as the year wears
on.
The Democratic conven-
tion produced reporting of all
types and design, and brought
wrath to most segments of the
news fraternity.
To some uninformed persons,
press freedom is unnecessary
in this country. On every hand
one can hear complaints about
the press over-stepping its
bounds in bringing events of
the day to the reader, listener,
or viewer. Of course, this is
the very reaction many people
in high governmental posts would
like. . . .continued complaints
about the press so that restric-
tions would be enacted taking
away some of the freedom of
reporters! ___—
The average person has far
more at stake in freedom of
the press than he may realize.
Freedom of the press, freedom
to report public events, freedom
to attend public meetings, free-
dom to inspect and report public
records are not freedoms that
belong to folks who work down
at the news office, the radio
or tv station. These are free-
doms which belong to all the
people. The news media is mere-
ly the vehicle which does this
reporting for public consump-
tion.
Granted, there are instances
of poor and sloppy reporting
just as there are instances of
sloppy house painting, and res-
taurant service. Concerned
newsmen. . .this includes fully
99 per cent of the crowd. . .
try to do their best at their
trade because they realize if
they become careless their mis-
takes are much more serious
than peeling paint or a messy
dinner plate. And the final analy-
sis, the fact that some reporter
can do a sloppy job only em-
phasizes the full range of free-
dom of the press.
The press of America is mov-
ing into a period when it will
be continually popular to cry
"1 was misquoted.” One need
only to listen to political speech-
es during this election year
to find this is seemingly the
most over-used retort in the
candidate's bag of declarations.
The best Interests of the peo-
ple are served when news media,
and citizens of all walks of life,
have free and easy access to
public Information. There is no
substitute for the truth just as
there is no substitute for an open
airing of matters of public im-
port.
An attack upon freedom of the
press Is not merely an attack
upon that fellow down the street
who reports events of the day
... .it is an attack upon every
citizen of this countrv.
