...spots over local radio, and talking himself hoarse to voters at rallies and over the telephone. Hayes may make it again this time, but it will be close; if he fails, Leonard J. Russell (Ind.)-who got a respectable total of 9-10 "number ones" last time-seems as good a bet as any to take his place...

...council. In Wheeler's case, it is pretty clear: By a process somewhat akin to a laying-on of hands, she has been backing Robert P. Moncreiff, a former Rhodes Scholar and like her, CCA and a Republican. With this vote, Moncreiff seems to have a pretty good chance of election. The old Goldberg vote, on the other hand, will probably scatter; some may go to James W. Caragianes (Ind.) who, like Goldberg, draws a lot of support in Mid-Cambridge; others will flow towards School Committeeman Daniel J. Clinton (Ind.) who, with this new support and an old base...

...with a startlingly small 3 per cent undecided. Observers have occasionally faulted the News polling techniques, but all agree that the straw poll has been and will continue to be pretty accurate.

...probably not surprise too many Americans casually versed in politics. Why, after all, should the country's largest metropolis trade in its Rolls Royce of a mayor for a back-model Chevrolet? John Lindsay's national reputation alone would be a formidable asset in any other city. Add his good looks and an opposition party torn to ribbons, and it seems fair to venture Lindsay could win a walloping victory at the polls of any town north of the Mason-Dixon Line-and a few to the south as well...

Lindsay himself seems aware of this. He has acknowledged his failure to keep the lower middle class at even a low threshold of good humor, and he has declared his intention to do something about it should a second administration come his way. The danger is that Lindsay's supporters, exhilarated by their triumph. may not want...
