...President George Meany, who sat out the 1972 campaign because he could not stomach George McGovern. "Our candidate," vowed Meany, "will get the full backing of the best political machine in the country." There already were strong signs that labor would deliver for the Carter-Mondale ticket???not only in votes but in voter registration. The well-organized United Auto Workers?1.4 million members across the country?is revving up. Ohio labor leaders are working closely with the Democratic organization. Says Thomas Bradley, president of the AFL-CIO in the Baltimore area: 'Tm working my fanny off for Carter because...
...Senate is blocked?Humphrey, then 65, would be sure to run again in 1976, and Mondale is not due to run until 1978. Anderson himself faces re-election next year.

...Progressive ticket???or, rather, the LaFollette Progressive ticket, as some of those who took part in the Roosevelt Progressive movement object to Mr. LaFollette's appropriation of the name?opened its attack at once. Senator LaFollette issued a statement attacking the Tariff Commission for having spent 18 months in investigating the costs of producing sugar. He charged that the sugar interests were maneuvering for delay. Meanwhile, at Atlantic City, the Railway Brotherhoods and other LaFollette allies were maneuvering to get the support of the American Federation of Labor for the Progressive ticket (see Page...
...once did Mr. La Follette mention himself. Yet it was inferred at once that he would run on a third party ticket???or if not on a third party, at least as a third candidate...
