...campaigner's total budget, earn fees in a Senate race ranging from $30,000 to $60,000. Between them they are involved in 13 different campaigns this year. Guggenheim is producing his persuasive films for four Democrats seeking election to the Senate and three running for governorships. Treleaven is, in effect, still handling the Nixon account; he is the man behind one governorship candidate and five Senate candidates-four of them specifically urged by Nixon to run.

Since Lindsay's own city G.O.P. organization would not back him last fall, he could hardly fare better with the state Republicans controlled by Rockefeller. If Lindsay cannot win the governorship or a place in the Senate-both seats are occupied by liberal Republicans -he has little hope of winning a future place on the Republican national ticket. Still, if he waits until 1974 to run for Governor, he might broaden his Republican constituency and succeed Rockefeller in Albany, a powerful...
