...Maine, the campaign was plainly becoming a bane. With 321 Democrats in the field for local and state offices-greatest number in at least 28 years-seven Republicans and three Democrats were contesting one congressional seat. Republican Margaret Chase Smith's U.S. Senate seat is sought by two Democrats: State Representative Plato Truman and, to compound the confusion, a Portland landscape consultant named Jack L. Smith, 43. Moreover, a Democrat named Carlton Reed is challenging Republican Governor John H. Reed...
Most of this year's more interesting primary contests involve clear-cut ideological differences. In California, actor Ronald Reagan and former San Francisco Mayor George Christopher are staging a rerun of the Goldwater-Rockefeller contest, while Governor Pat Brown has been challenged in the Democratic primary by the hero of the casual bigots, Mayor Sam Yorty of Los Angeles. In Alabama, Lurleen Wallace is facing an increasingly liberal Attorney-General Richmond Flowers.

National Review Editor Buckley, who last year ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New York, wants to make the Republican Party more conservative. With both now calling New York home base, conflict is inevitable. "We will soon have a vendetta going," Buckley said happily last week...
...steam out of the domestic economy-but such a course would bring results slowly. Some businessmen insist that the Government needlessly hampers the efforts of U.S. firms to sell abroad by mindless application of domestic anti-trust laws, by tax penalties, and by weak commercial staffs in embassies. Washington Democrat Warren Magnuson, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, last week argued for legislation creating new export tax incentives, which are often of little help...
