Encouraged by last week's Gallup poll showing him trailing Democrat Eugene McCarthy but leading both Hubert Humphrey and Nixon, the Governor told a Boston press conference: "I was just flying over your race track and I saw the horses coming into the stretch. If I could get into the lead in the stretch, believe me, that would be tremendously helpful." In Maine, he reminded audiences that he had been born in Bar Harbor and cried: "We're going to have a Maine President at last...

"I never win anything," he confided. "I'm the worst picker of dogs in the world. I couldn't win a race if there was only one dog in it; he'd probably jump the barrier and disappear." It was, of course, Lee Trevino Night at the track...
