Another error -perhaps only half an error-was the Nixon camp's mailing of some 3,000 personal letters to members of the securities industry, suggesting that a Nixon Administration would soften Government policing of its practices and reverse the Johnson Administration's "heavyhanded bureaucratic regulatory schemes." Since most securities men were fairly certain that a G.O.P. President would favor less Government regulation anyhow, it was hardly necessary for the candidate to spell out his position...

"Mr. Nixon," he said, "would encourage those same speculative excesses that once before plunged this country into chaotic depression and brought vast losses to investors." In general, Humphrey worked hard to stress the traditional bread-and-butter issue, trying to revive past fears that a Republican Administration would "take it away."

The keynote speeches by Mayor Walter Sullivan and Congressman Tip O'Neill have been irrelevant, the first by way of saying nothing at all, the second by way of two very long, very old Irish jokes and a passing reference to the Congressman's concern for the Cambridge situation.
