The reformers met scattered success in the August party primary--they now control about fifteen per cent of the precincts. Liberals have high level allies within the party hierachy who may be able to help if a liberal coalition can get off the ground as it did in Colorado...

With Humphrey's anticipated defeat, New Caucus forces will...
