MEMORANDUM FOR:
H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
Wallace People
I have been very impressed with Charlie Snyder, Wallace's
top man, who sent me the attached letter which Ithought you
might like to read. While it is rambling, he makes two very
interesting points.
The first is the overture now being made to Wallace by McGovern.
This is for real. I don't think there is a chance of their succeeding
but the McGovern people are presenting some very persuasive
arguments.
The second point deals with the campaign theme, and while he
hasn't stated it very well, I think the trust issue is a very
powerful one. Right now we own it. Snyder suggests that we
exploit it, a point with which I concur on the positive side.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
Mrs. Ann Maier
Mrs. Maier, who seconded the President and wife of the Mayor
of Milwaukee, is in one of her frequent neurotic moods and
was complaining today that she had not heard from the President
either by letter or by phone call since her seconding speech.
The President has a phone call recommendation that I sub-
mitted some time ago.
I think this is well worth the President's time and it would be very
helpful if he could do it over this weekend.
She also was lamenting during the phone conversation that no one
had asked her husband, Mayor Maier, to endorse the President.
She said that he was on the verge of doing it during the Republican
Convention.
Even though Maier said good things about Shriver yesterday, Mrs.
Maier thinks that her husband can be had. I'll pursue this with
Ehrlichman independently, but if there is any truth to it, it's all
the more reason for this call.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
DICK HOWARD
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
We need to get some more activity stirred up on the question
of the Newspaper Build endorsing McGovern. McGovern is
very vulnerable on this, as is the Guild. Talk to Safire and
Moore and get their ideas. Obviously we can get Jeffrey
Hart to write a few speeches for us; he would be very good
on this one. We mustn't let people forget that the most
important union in the United States has endorsed McGovern;
obviously it is the most influential union because it controls
what is printed and said. As a matter of fact, on this score
give me a typical a & A which can be sent to our major
spokesmen. When anyone is asked "what about union support
for the President the answer can be the President has
earned the support of the rank and file and the polls shows
that they will support him but the most critical and most
important union, the Newspaper Guild, has afterall endorsed
McGovern. This is essential and anything we can do with
Clawson to drum up more editorial comments would be very
helpful. Also, as a thought, letters to the editor to those
papers that have not condemned the Guild for this act would
be very useful letters which challenge the editors to
repudiate the Guild endorsement or is they don't, charge
that they can't because the Guild member editorial writers
would refuse to write editorials. This could be very useful.
