...liberalism, emphasizing the environment. In fact, until recently, his campaign rhetoric fed into the right wing attack on social programs by urging the American people to lower their expectations in the face of scarce resources. Nor do other liberal candidates like Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) and R. Sargent Shriver have more substantive solutions for the social and economic crisis which faces America today. Though they, like Udall, support full employment, they have no idea about the ways in which this could be put into effect and have failed to address themselves to the structural sources of the country...
...field for tomorrow's primary is crowded and confused. There are seven major candidates: Udall, Senator Birch Bayh, R. Sargent Shriver, and former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris are hoping to capture the liberal vote; Alabama Governor George C. Wallace and Senator Henry M. Jackson are after the more conservative, anti-busing Democrats; and Jimmy Carter is trying to appeal to just about everybody...
...word last week was that Bayh was broke, had poured all he had into a confrontation with Henry Jackson in New York on April 6, and so would finish out of the money in Massachusetts.

Although several candidates spent close to the federal limit of about $200,000 in New Hampshire, nobody is going to come close to the $600,000 limit for Massachusetts. Jackson is spending about $400,000, but Udall has spent only about $275,000 so far. And he fears that unless one or two of the liberal Democrats drop out after tomorrow, the liberal money will be split among them all, and no one will have enough to wage an effective campaign in New York. Even Bayh, with...
