...repeated line from Mondale's speeches, "We want jobs -not hot air," reporters presented Mondale with a T shirt labeled WE WANT NEWS-NOT HOT AIR. He donned it at the end of an Election Day program that took him from tiny (pop. 2,000) Afton, Minn., where he voted, to his dentist for a checkup, and a tour of a museum...

Eugene McCarthy (D.-Minn.) is seeking support for a third party candidacy that could weaken the Democrat's showing enough to throw the election to Ford. It is a challenge to sanction this indulgent candidacy in an elction in which the American people face clear alternatives. While well-heeled liberals may be able to afford the cost of purist voting, they should consider the consequences of their action for the men and women who have spent the last eight years battling to protect their meager...
