...that an election commission would be among those most interested in getting more people to register. However, the Cambridge Election Commission has acted, on the whole, as if its role was to discourage people from taking legitimate political action.

The desire of the Commission to see fewer rather than more voters registered makes a mockery of the laws it claims to uphold...
...provincial governments earlier this year. Whether the documents are authentic or not, they have already played a significant role in the election by providing an acceptable reason for Big Minh to withdraw.

This is a matter of not only political philosophy and party loyalty, but also presidential ambition as well. Mills wants to see the Democrats defeat Nixon in 1972; he is also beginning to think that he may be the man to do it. Mills is now taking his presidential candidacy...
