...Maddox ran a campaign geared to the racists and the "small man" disenchanted by federal spending in time of inflation. He was able to combine strong support from these overlapping blocs -- and Republicans voting in the Democratic primary--to defeat the wealthy Arnall, who had been an outstanding state executive in the 1940s, but seemed to have lost touch with the mood of the Peach State electorate in the intervening 20 years. Arnall proclaimed his allegiance to the "national Democratic party," a group that more than ever stands for sin, spending, and federal interference in the eyes of most rural...
Thus, the choice of George Mahoney as the Democratic candidate in Maryland has been considered the most shocking victory of all. It shouldn't be. Mahoney, a six-time loser in Democratic primaries since 1950, ran on one issue -- his opposition to open housing laws. His two major opponents, Rep. Carlton Sickles and State Attorney General Thomas Finan, who ran a close second and third, both supported the now-dead Civil Rights Bill of 1966. Both were liberals, although Finan, the organization candidate, was tainted by scandals in the-state administration in which he served. And together they received well...
...Maryland's Congressman-at-Large since the office was created in 1960. He holds a spotless pro-civil rights and pro-labor record with a 100 ADA rating. He is young and looks forceful.

Residents are only too eager to show him their problems. On one walk a few weeks ago in Harlem, a group of teen-agers ran up to the Mayor waving a dead rat, one of them shouting: "Man, Mayor, this is where the clean-up is it, baby. Look at this...
...told me in a moment of candor. The nationalists want their people to have the good life without having to "bleach themselves out," to become bourgeois in order to attain it. "We've been singing and dancing for 400 years, and it's time we built some rockets and ran some businesses," said nationalist leader Tom Jaquette. "But I don't want one to mean the loss of the other." To the nationalists, the Negro has two choices: either to live in poverty or to change his manner of speech and his tastes in music and say "Yes Sir" long...
