"Growing disillusionment" with Sen. George McGovern
probably will deliver a majority of the youth vote to President
Nixon in the November general election, according to Mrs. Pat
Hutar, director of Women Volunteers for Nixon.
Hutar joined Clayton Yuetter, regional campaign director
for the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP), and
George Cook, Nebraska CRP chairman, at a Lincoln press
conference Friday morning.
The three spoke optimistically, but cautiously, of a possible
Nixon victory.
Hutar said new voters under 24 years old "have confidence
in the President's programs and policies." New voters, she said,
will comprise about 18 per cent of the projected 85 million
voters for the November contest. More than 500,000 young
people will be in the field working for the President's
re-election, she said.
'The contrast between the Young Voters for Nixon at our
convention and those at the other convention made an
agreeable impression on the nation," she said. The difference
was even more pointed between the Young Voters and the
anti-Nixon demonstrators at Miami, she said.
Praising Nixon as "a staunch supporter of equal rights for
women," Hutar said his administration has appointed more
women to high level positions than any of its predecessors. She
said the President has appointed 118 women to jobs paying
more than $18,000 a year.
On another issue, Yuetter said grain sales to Communist
China and Russia would help solve the farm problem.
He declined comment on alledged bugging of Democratic
National Headquarters because the case is in the courts.
Although Nebraska gave Nixon the highest percentage vote
of any state in his 1960 and 1968 presidential campaigns,
Cook said the CRP is not going to relax
"We're running scared," he said. "We're going to work like
heck to get our man elected."
He called the Nebraska Nixon campaign organization "the
best the state has ever seen." The Nebraska CRP, he said, has
228 area and county chairmen and co-chairmen. He said about
70 of Nebraska's 93 counties will be staffed by Oct. 1 .
