Minnesota Governor Wendell Anderson was recently running 48 points ahead of his second-string Republican opponent, while Ohio Democrat John Glenn had a 50-point margin in his Senate race. Watergate has also turned off large Republican contributors, like Insurance Millionaire W. Clement Stone. He gave $2 million to Nixon in 1972; so far this year, he has given Republican candidates in Illinois only...
