...dearth of traveling companions. In Maryland, Governor Spiro Agnew announced that he would organize a draft-Rockefeller movement "in response to the ground swell of public opinion that I have seen developing." Sixty-six prominent Republicans in Oregon set up a similar group, vowing they would conduct a Rockefeller write-in campaign for the Oregon primary should he refuse to allow his name on the ballot. Said Governor Tom McCall: "If this effort can help bring Rockefeller into the Oregon primary, then its sponsors will have performed a public service of national magnitude...

Only ten states, notably Oregon, require anything resembling adequate income-outgo reports from both candidates and committees before and after primaries as well as general elections. Seven states totally ignore the subject; loopholes riddle laws in the other 33. Maryland limits spending but exempts postage, telegrams, telephoning, stationery, printing, advertising, radio and television programs, publishing, expressage, travel and board, if paid by the candidate...
