The Register initially invited President Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy but not Jerry Brown; the editors felt the California Governor was not mounting a serious challenge in Iowa. Protested Brown: "I'm troubled ... that in a free society I have to convince an editor that I'm a bona fide candidate."
