MEMORANDUM FOR CHARLES W. COLSON
FROM DOUG HALLETT
pett
Congressman James Howard, Democrat of New Jersey, has withdrawn
all his campaign literature. His new literature has no mention of the word
"Democrat", none of McGovern, and in several cases cites Howard votes
in support of the President, according to a friend of mine who knows Howard's
A.A. Howard used to be a strong supporter of McGovern.
This might be of interest to the President. It was told to me by Bill
Mailliard's former A.A. who claims he was told it in 1965. In 1950, as
you will remember, Governor Warren was reluctant to endorse the President
in his Senate race against Helen Gahagan Douglas. Accordingly, the Nixon
people has somebody follow Mrs. Douglas around and bait her, finally getting
her to blast away at Warren and endorse his opponent, Jimmy Roosevelt,
I believe. This information was quickly relayed to Warren, who, as it happened,
immediately endorsed the President in very favorable terms. According to
Mailliard's former A. A., Mailliard, who was then Warren's executive
secretary, had been carrying around hins his pocket an edidorsement of the
President he had written. As soon as news of Mrs. Douglas' endorsement of
Jimmy Roosevelt got to the Warren camp, he pulled the endorsement out
of his pocket, got Warren's uimmmediate approval to release it, and thereby
in some sense helped get the President Warren's then much-coveted backing.
