Farther west, Nixon had selected five incumbent Democratic Senators as likely targets for unseating: North Dakota's Quentin Burdick, Wyoming's Gale McGee, Utah's Frank Moss, New Mexico's Joseph Montoya and Nevada's Howard Cannon. Conservatives were recruited to run well-financed campaigns against the ostensibly vulnerable quintet. Campaigners from Washington hustled through. Agnew anointed Moss "the Western regional chairman of the Radic-Lib Eastern Establishment." Moss was re-elected easily, and the four other Democrats also won.

A third factor in Moss's favor is the third party candidacy of Clyde Freeman. If Freeman can win five per cent of the vote or more, it should cut Burton's vote enough to hand the election to Moss. If Freeman run poorly, the race is a tossup...
