But Oregon Democrats are not a one-woman organization, and their candidate against Hatfield will most likely be six-term Congresswoman Edith Green, 55.

The latest Lou Harris poll gave him 46% of the potential Republican vote, and only 17% to Nixon, 14% to Goldwater and 13% to Rockefeller. The influential statewide newspaper, the Portland Oregonian, which came flat out for Lodge last week, conducted its own survey, which gave Lodge 40%, Rockefeller 18%, Nixon 17% and Goldwater...
