COLSON\nFROM DOUG HALLETT\npett\nCongressman James Howard, Democrat of New Jersey, has withdrawn\nall his campaign literature.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