Except for dovish Sen. Joseph D. Tydings's personal organization, anti-administration liberals are unorganized. Suburban Washington's Montgomery County served as a McCarthy base in this politically Southern state where George Wallace did so well in the 1964 presidential primary vote (forty-two per cent). Baltimore is still very much a machine stronghold. New Democratic Coalition national forces hope to organize a liberal-reform group in a coalition with an emerging black leadership before the 1970 election to help re-elect Tydings and give some clout to lightweight liberals...
...urban blacks and white suburbanites centered around Detroit and Lansing will in all probability take control of the party from old, worn labor-liberal leadership. In the early August party primaries, however, the bi-racial coalition which now calls itself the New Caucus took more than forty per cent of the state. Their muscle was reflected in the September 1 state convention when party leaders in a harmony effort neglected to bring up a resolution calling for a Humphrey endorsement. With Humphrey's anticipated defeat, New Caucus forces will probably be able to gain important allies of Detroit Mayor Jerry...
McCarthy did much more than win forty-two per cent of the presidential primary vote last March; he brought about a revolution in the state party's politics on the side. McCarthy forces under the leadership of Dartmouth instructor David C. Hoeh, a congressional candidate, won about forty-five per cent of party precincts in an early September primary election. They are very close to electing a McCarthyite party chairman. Where most of Gene's organization last winter were out-of-state college students, the liberals have now developed native leadership in town after town. The Nixon landslide is expected...
...white liberal-black coalition which fought a hard battle for McCarthy last summer controls about fifteen per cent of the party structure. The liberals are surprisingly well organized for such a Wallacite state. The coalition is strongest in Chapel Hill (the University of North Carolina), Durham, and to a certain extent Charlotte where a strong coalition came very close to winning last vear. The biracial forces will shoot for city posts in 1969 and seizure of country organizationa control whereever possible...
...coalition of McCarthy and Kennedy (with strong, progressive Mexican-American support) forces is very close to taking over the state organization. They controlled about forty-five per cent of last summer's party convention and won a proportionate number of seats on the national convention delegation. Party elections are in January; following the November elections the Kennedy-McCarthy coalition hopes to organize precinct by precinct to rest control from the corrupt party organization in January...
