McCarthy forces came very close to winning party control last spring. By the time McCarthy himself comes up for re-election in November, 1970, the party should be under the control of liberal militant forces allied with the senior senator. Because of McCarthy's distain for party politics, the new leadership--while with him in spirit--can hardly be considered a personal organization. While the campaign continues this fall, the New Democratic Coalition (the McCarthy forces) are organizing themselves again in each congressional district. With strong control already in Minneapolis-St. Paul (about one third of the state), they...
McCarthyites came close to taking the state convention delegation this probably as a significant minority. They control about one third of the party now according to McCarthy leader Tom Towe, a Billings lawyer. Though nothing definite has been decided, McCarthyites and some Kennedy supporters are talking of building a Montana Democratic Council along the lines of California. Party elections are in October, 1969--the liberal bid for power will probably come at the time. The old guard will put up a strong resistance...
...brought in significant black support from the Northside ghetto of Omaha. The Kennedy forces who remained following the May primary have joined the Coalition. If the liberals take Omaha next year and can organize as well as they did in the '68 Presidential preference primary, then they will control the state...
...only man who could bring any order to the state's byzantine party politics was assassinated in California in June. Liberals control the party to a certain extent, but their factionalization prevents any power plays on a national level at this point. Two coalitions of McCarthy and Kennedy forces are under way. The McCarthyite Coalition for a Democratic Alternative will probably die with party senatorial candidate Paul O'Dwyer's defeat in November. Though still in its formative stages, the Coalition for the Politics of the People hopes to become an issue-oriented reformist coalition in a state which...
...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...
