...Montana, the Miles City Star (circ. 4,000), noting that the New York Times (circ. 874,393) had endorsed Montana Democrat Lee Metcalf, whose U.S. Senate seat is being contested by Governor Tim Babcock, returned the compliment by urging New Yorkers to re-elect Nelson Rockefeller...
...might succeed on both counts. Griffin, 42, a five-term Congressman who was hardly better known than Ferency before Romney appointed him to the Senate seat vacated by the death last April of Democrat Pat McNamara, began as the decided underdog in the race against former six-term (1949-60) Governor "G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, 55. After a costly primary vic tory, however, Old Pro Williams found his campaign coffers somewhat depleted, was further slowed by a kidney-stone operation in August.

Campaigning for Governor in the Ozarks, Winthrop Rockefeller may look upon Elder Brother Nelson's battle in New York as a polite drawing-room exercise.

Mende, eager to establish a bargaining position with Erhard, declared that "in principle" he saw no objection to a coalition with the Socialists. There was also talk of a "grand coalition" between the Socialists and the Christian Democrats, with Interior Minister Paul...
...Republican of long standing, the Captain insisted on running his own editorial-page column supporting Richard Nixon for President on the same day that his wife came out editorially for Jack Kennedy. But once he became editor, Guggenheim did not noticeably alter the paper's rather liberal Democratic outlook. He closely supervises the editorial page and writes many editorials himself-and he does not hesitate to criticize a Republican one day, a Democrat the next. Last week Newsday came out for Republican Nelson Rockefeller for New York Governor; a few weeks back, it endorsed Democrat Arthur Levitt for Comptroller...
