MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 12, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
Harry S. Dent
FROM:
Brad E. Hainsworth
SUBJECT:
Iowa
Filing deadline is May 30, 1972.
The President
Iowa has been Nixon country and the President continues to be
strong. However, the initiative in Vietnam has caused a wait-
and-see attitude that could go either way. The toughest
Democrat would be Kennedy. The President defeated Humphrey
before and McGovern is too far left.
Governor
Robert Ray (R) will win. The primary race is not serious and
Lt. Governor Roger Jepson may withdraw.
Democrats are John Tapscott, James Lynch, and Paul Franzburg
who will get the nomination.
Senate
Jack Miller (R) will win. Unimportant primary.
Democrat is Dick Clark, an unknown.
House
First District: Fred Schwengel (R). GOP favored. Democrat is
Ed Mezvinsky. This will be a tough race.
Second District: John Culver (D) will win. GOP has no candidate
as yet.
Third District: H. R. Gross (R) will win. No Democrat.
Fourth District: John Kyl (R). Democrat favored. Redistricting
combined the Fourth and Fifth Districts and favors the Democrats.
Democrat is incumbent Neal Smith.

Sixth District: Wiley Mayne (R) favored. Democrat is
Berkley Bedall.
Seventh District becomes the new Fifth: William Scherle (R)
will win. No Democrat.
Issues
Vietnam has become the leading issue. There is general support,
but it could rapidly deteriorate. Farm prices are improving
and beef and hogs are strong. Secretary Butz has helped.
