Turn Eight: The Ballad of Richard Daley
March 15th to March 21st, 1972


In the News!

Nixon announces moratorium on busing:
Surprising public announcement from the President declares a moratorium on the issue of forced busing, polls in support and civil rights groups against

Lon Nol President of the Khmer Republic:
Nol takes control of vacant office, solidifies hold in Cambodia

1.- Illinois Primary: The big prize for the campaigns to conquer, as this monster of a primary brings 102 Republican Delegates and a whopping 179 Democratic delegates to the Conventions. Mayor Daley's endorsement is won by Mayor John Lindsay, bringing him the still powerful Daley machine and a major advantage in this contest. Good appeals were made by other people, but in the end it was Lindsey who made the most effective appeal. On the Republican side an Uncommitted slate will run as neither candidate got on the ballot, but they can campaign for write-in votes if they wish to do so.

2.- Wisconsin Deadline: This week includes a deadline to file in for the upcoming Wisconsin Primary, and all players interested in contesting this one should be wary of not forgetting to file-in.

Primary Polling

Gallup: Republican Primary:

Richard Nixon: 70% (+2)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 28% (+1)
Undecided: 4%

It's Richard Nixon on the rise after a convincing victory in Florida, securing the President's position for some time. Still, with Illinois not giving Nixon a clear advantage and the end of March contests being caucuses, the race is still far from over, as more and more southern GOP offices flock to the Goldwater camp in protest of Nixon going too far to the left on some issues. Now upgraded to a major challenger, the Goldwater campaign will be able to go on as long as they keep beating expectations...

Gallup: Democratic Primary:

John Lindsay: 28% (+3)
Ed Muskie: 18% (-2)
Sam Yorty: 17% (+2)
George McGovern: 14%
Fred Harris: 8% (+1)
Eugene McCarthy: 7% (+1)
Mike Gravel: 6% (-2)
Undecided: 3% (-1)

Florida has cemented Lindsay as the Democratic frontrunner for the nomination, but getting that coveted post also brings its own troubles, for Lindsay will take major hits if he fails to overcome expectations of his growing momentum. Yorty benefits from a surge following a good showing in Florida and a mounting national operation, yet his stance on busing makes him more toxic to moderates inside the party. Muskie took a hit after Florida, yet observers report his campaign has been better organized and his polling has more or less kept stable in Illinois. As McGovern faces no surge following a failure to contest Florida at all, Harris and McCarthy rise, Mike Gravel taking a large hit following a disappointing showing and other clouds on the horizon...

Random and Player Consecuence Events:

Nixon secures key Minnesota support:

The President's campaign has scored a victory for the upcoming Minnesota caucus, as most of the local party officers led by former Governor Harold LeVander have formally endorsed Nixon to head up his efforts on the state. Gallup reports the President to be on the rise in Minnesota polling, giving the incumbent an advantage there.

Yorty condemned by busing stance:

Despite bringing him a stunning performance in the state of Florida, it seems Yorty's strong support for the anti-busing proposal has backfired in most of the country. While southern voters hail him for it, support for Yorty amongst Mideastern States and New England has taken a sizable hit in the polls, which comes as a blow for the Los Angeles Mayor's campaign.

Gravel campaign in trouble, fundraising and endorsements dried up:

An unexpectedly bad performance on the Florida Primary has delived a tough blow to the rising Gravel campaign, which had previously contested Arizona to good results while securing a broad base of endorsers. Yet several news sources report that following these results the campaign has been unable to make headway in endorsements and extra fundraising, creating trouble.

TV Ad, running in IL the entire week:

*Picture of Harris*

"Fred Harris. A voice for the people, we're told. But Harris has come out against the Interstate Commerce Commission. Repealing that would increase discrimination in public transportation. He voted against the confirmation of Justice Lewis F. Powell, a key anti-communist figure. He represents a conservative state, but his voting record is decidedly liberal. This isn't the people's candidate, Illinois. This is just another worthless politician."

Radio Ad, running in IL the entire week:

"Eugene McCarthy. The only candidate who will end the Vietnam war in 30 days. The candidate who has stood firmly against segregation and really cares about the desires of the people. Don't fall for the foolish establishment, Illinois. Vote for Eugene McCarthy, who cares more than anyone else about the welfare of this great country."

Fred Harris Press Conference Televised Response to Eugene McCarthy

"Thank you, Mr. McCarthy for making it clear that I am no conservative, unlike you. I take pride in being a real Democrat. We all know you're not a Democrat anymore. I voted no on the nomination of Justice Powell because he never represented the people. As a lawyer for the tobacco industry and a bedfellow of the Chamber of Commerce, I knew then and know now that Powell's out to help big business at the expense of common Americans. Senator McCarthy should be the one answering questions about his yes vote on that nomination! Moreover, I didn't vote for the Gulf of Tonkin resolution like you did! Get that folks, he was for the war before he opposed it! On the economy, I support increasing the minimum wage, which I haven't heard a peep about from other candidates. Where's everybody else at on preventing corporations from evading taxes through loopholes? Eugene McCarthy has sold you out to the highest corporate bidders, America."

John Lindsay 72 - March 15th - 21st, 1972



"The country is listening to our message. In Illinois, we can make our voices heard even louder - We need a fighter! The proud fight for the middle class in this country is ignored by Washington, but that will change when we truly send a President of America to the capital. I will fight for school children, white and black, the eldery, the middle class, veterans, and everyone who has been left voiceless by this Nixon administration."

"I have opponents in this race who are content on attacking others rather than standing on their own record. The fact is, in the Senate there is a lot of talk, but little action. I've been in the second toughest job for the last six years fighting for the solutions to the problems regular people face, rather than just talking about them on the Senate floor. I'm the only one who can get things done for regular people."

"As President Nixon's polices have caused mass inflation, American workers dollars mean less and less. The Minimum wage has stayed the same since the late 60s and the results are showing. It's time we raised the minimum wage and keep it floating based on the needs of people. I propose a big hike - to $2.30/Hr. And we can't rely on Congress to keep up with this issue regularly, so I propose that if the Government continues to put forward policies that demote the value of a family's earning power, we make their earning power on similar ground to it was before. I'm proposing tying the minimum wage to inflation, so that wages remain stable."

"Voters in Illinois have seen the effects of a Nixon Presidency. They've seen our men and women continue to shed blood in Vietnam, they continue to see missions abroad at the expense of fewer hospitals, less money for schools, and more crime on our streets. As President, I will fight to make sure that our priorities are straight. I'm the only candidate who send Nixon out of Washington, and put common sense back in our capital."

John Lindsay GOTV Operation in Illinois




In Illinois, John Lindsay's strategy of directly aiming at Cook County and Northern Illinois at the expense of downstate has worked to the extent that he has inherited the Chicago Machine that is so hated downstate. Lindsay won the endorsement of Mayor Richard Daley, who, despite some claiming his power has weakened, is still a massive powerbroker in his home city. Lindsay also is employing the minority strategy - taking advantage of strongly democratic minorities that are now voting in much higher quantities.

- The campaign will be targeting blacks and hispanics in Chicago, pushing Lindsay's strong support for forced busing
- The campaign will be targeting blue collar workers in Northern Illinois, pushing Lindsay's populist stances on workers rights and the minimum wage
- The campaign will be targeting seniors throughout Illinois, pushing Lindsay's record of half-fare transportation for seniors and support for hiking benefits for seniors.
- The campaign will be targeting upper class suburban whites, pushing Lindsay's record of fighting crime.
- The campaign will be targeting Muskie Supporters, noting Lindsay as the only candidate who can beat President Richard Nixon.
- The campaign will be targeting current supporters of the anti-war cluster, noting Lindsay's push to end the War in Vietnam and his more consistent fervor against the war.

The key will be the triangle of the support of blue collar workers, suburban whites, and blacks and hispanics, and another key will be a massive splash in the Chicago area and strong support in the Northern Illinois. The Lindsay Campaign will be using a large chunk of its funds to get an impressive showing clearly in first place in this state, as well as volunteers knocking on doors and getting voters who have never voted before to register (mostly on the minority side of things).

"Candidates of all sides of the spectrum have made their voices heard. Who will you stand with? How about someone who has stood up for working class people? Someone who demands their wages go up? Someone who will end the war in Vietnam? Someone who can beat President Nixon and restore hope in our future? How about John Lindsay, the man who has spent 6 years as Mayor of New York City accomplishing some of the things that the United States as a whole still needs to get done. On [Date your primary is], Vote John Lindsay. The Time is now to make your voice heard."

Oh, dear, how did I miss this?

Sorry, it's my final week of the semester and the past days have been very complicated due to the amount of tests and essays to be done... So this ends tomorrow, Tuesday at the very latest if by tomorrow an extention is still needed.
