...Jersey's 108-member delegation, which had supported Hubert Humphrey and Jerry Brown, shifted behind the winner on election eve at the insistence of State Chairman James Dugan. After Carter's 35-minute appearance before the group Wednesday, Jersey City Mayor Paul Jordan declared: "There had been a sense that Carter was light and superficial.

Then there is always Hubert Humphrey, already a world figure, a centrist in foreign policy, and articulate to say the least. But Humphrey may be more interested in succeeding Mike Mansfield as Senate Majority Leader...
