ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI BAK
SUBJECT:
McGovern
Please note the attached comments from the June 12 Weekend News
Review.
Magruder and John Mitchell are aware of this comment from Lyn
Nofziger and will reprimand him for it.
CC: Alexander P. Butterfield
Semple, in NY Times, writes that "the men who are running
RN's re-election campaign seem to worry about the prospect of
a McG candidacy the closer they get to McG himself". While
nat' aides are confident they can pin 'radical' tag on George,
Semple says others in primary states are cautious. One Calif.
RN worker said: "Contrived or real, McG is projecting an
impression of freshness, seriousness of purpose and candor,
building himself for a direct confrontation with the old politics
in Nov. 11 H. Itis good then seared but
His stupid to put out their line
Semple, in earlier piecel says "the suspicion is that RN is
richly enjoying the commotion" caused by his refusal to specify
VP. He adds that new Connally mission, tho, has prompted some
to ask if they aren't being conned "by a Pres whose taste for little
surprises and grand theatre is beginning to make even the great
Lyndon look like an amateur. Semple says WH staff feel VP Agnew
will be on the ticket, but writers feels that the VP's ambiguity
about whether he really wants the top job may affect RN's choice.
Furguson writes that primary results "say clearly that moods
and personalities matter far more to the voter in 1972 than issues and
events". Thus RN, whose doing all he can to influence issues and
events, may still face problems. RN "will be open to just the same
kind of damaging contrast with McG" as HHH was in Calif. says Ernest.
NY Times magazine has article by Rice on Sen. Smith of Maine.
She faces a tough primary and/or reelection campaign, says author,
as many feel she's old or hasn't done enough for Maine.
C.S. Monitor's Strout writes that the "much-criticized US
presidential primary system seems once more to have vindicated
itself". Its cruel but effective ordeal by publicity has cut down the
supposed front-runner, and brought another from obscurity into lead.
And further, primaries have delineated the "major issue of the
campaign -- the depth of the current of unrest and dissatisfaction
running through US". "Many criticize Presidential primaries but
it's hard to find an alternative", he concludes.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CHUCK COLSON
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
BAK
SUBJECT:
Catholic Voting Attitude
It was requested that you note the attached information on a
recent Cambridge Marketing Poll.
Agreement was indicated with the underlined portion and it
was noted that much of Muskie's strength is due to his
Catholic support.

THE presilent H&S SMX
Supplement to Agenda and Brief
for Cardinal Cooke Meeting
RE: Catholic Voting Attitudes
The "Bailey memorandum" circulated at the 1956 Democratic
Convention in support of Jack Kennedy's candidacy for the Vice
Presidency had as a basic thesis that Catholics vote for Catholics
and would for some years to come. 1960 proved the thesis, but many
question whether or not it will be true in the future.
Plesser of Cambridge Marketing has shown me the results of a
just completed poll of 1500 likely voters. Shown below are the results
broken down by all voters and by Catholic voters in a three-way race
with both Muskie and Lindsay.

I asked if Lindsay was not a special case, but Plesser assured
me the same pattern pertained in the figures for the other non-Catholic
Democratic candidates. Other data indicate that in objective reactions
to Nixon, not related to other candidates, Catholics break down in the
same proportion as "all voters".
From the above, it appears clear that many Catholics who would
not otherwise vote for a Democrat will do so if he is a Catholic.
Because of this vulnerability, we should continue to give special
emphasis in our campaign and legislative strategy to winning back
these votes.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
BAK
SUBJECT:
New Hampshire
The January 19th, 1972 News Summary contained the following
paragraph:
'McCloskey predicts lagging support in New Hampshire
will force RN to campaign there before the primary.
McCloskey again said he wouldn't be surprised to see
RN stop off in New Hampshire enroute home from Peking,
but said, "I don't think he will win. 11 Pete said anti-RN
sentiment is running strong in N.H. and that he doubted
that RN would come even close to the 78% of '68. "The
key issue
is that people no longer believe their Pres.,
whether on the war, inflation, unemployment or pollution
control, 11 said McCloskey. I
It was requested that efforts be stepped up to reduce the estimate
of 78% in New Hampshire.
Gordon Strachan will relay this request to the appropriate staff
member at the committee.
