MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
JON M. HUNTSMAN
SUBJECT:
Illinois Political Information
The President read the Illinois Political Brief prepared for his recent
Chicago trip by Harry Dent and made the following notations after his
visit:
1) Relative to the statement in the political brief that states
"the President is thought to have gained ground in recent weeks after
his economic speech. Still, Illinois is thought to be only slightly better
than even for us today"
The President suggested that our Illinois
party morale seems to be very weak. Please have Ruinsfeld develop a
plan to boost it.
2) Relative to the notation that Senator Muskie was reportedly
splitting areas that went 2-1 for the President in 1968, though the
President increased his 1968 totals over Kennedy and slipped only
slightly against Humphrey
The President has suggested that in view
of Gallup's latest poll, how does Rumsfeld evaluate this finding (Muskie's
improved showing)? Is it true that Muskie is stronger in the suburbs and
weaker in the blue collar areas?
3) Relative to the political brief's notation that Governor Ogilvie
is apparently quite vulnerable, even though party leaders insist that
the Governor has come up in recent weeks
The President suggested
that we must watch this very carefully and must not make the same
mistake of 1960 when we tied too closely to Straiten and were pulled
down. Have Rumsfeld keep a tough objective eye on Illinois. Don't
rely just on party leaders.
- 2 -
The President concluded his appraisal by stating that Muskie would seem
to be the suburban favorite (i.e. the better educated, elite, etc.) even
despite China? Did they make this poll before the China announcement?
Please develop the desired programs as suggested above and submit your
response to the Office of the Staff Secretary.
Thank you.

Presidential Prospects
The President is thought to have gained ground in recent weeks after
his economic speech. Still, Illinois is thought to be only slightly
better than even for us today. Unemployment in the major industrial
àreas, discontent among the farmers and the prospect of a week show-
ing by Governor Ogilvie at the polls are the President's major hurdles.
A recent Evans and Novak survey of some Chicago suburban precincts
showed a lack of enthusiasm for the President among 1968 supporters.
Senator Muskie was reportedly splitting areas that went 2-1 for the
President in 1968, thoughthe President increased his 1968 totals over
Kennedy and slipped only slightly against Humphrey. In 1970, many
suburban townships were carried by Adlai Stevenson, including New Trier,
on the north shore.
State Picture:
Senator Charles Percy is 'a solid favorite for re-election over any Demo-
crat. Consequently, leading Democratic politicians are jockeying for
the Gubernatorial nomination, enhanced by Governor Ogilvie's apparent
vulnerability. Party leaders insist that the Governor, has come up in
recent weeks, bowever
Congressional redistricting should favor all incumbents as the redistrict-
ing apparatus is split between the, parties.
