...enough that at the moment the commonwealth has a Republican Governor, an Independent Lieutenant Governor, and a Democratic attorney general. But consider that when voters go to the polls this November, they will elect as Governor one of two well-known, longtime Democrats-neither of whom is running as a Democrat.

Mills switched to the G.O.P. in 1970 and won Morton's seat in a special 1971 election after Morton resigned to become Secretary of the Interior. Morton last week described the C.R.P. contribution as a "loan" to the Mills campaign, and said that he himself reimbursed the Nixon committee by working as a surrogate speaker for the President during...
