absolutely paranoid about the war
I know
President Johnson and I respect him, 11 Agnew said.
"He was not paranoid about the war. When HHH
says that in 1970, he viciously attacks a man without
whom he would never have been Vice President of the
US or a presidential candidate. Nobody will ever
accuse me of degrading the man who it was my high
honor to serve, 11 Agnew added.
*
VP Agnew devoted most of his speech to a call to
America's "silent majority" to make itself heard
Nov. 3 by electing a Congress that will halt the
"wave of permissiveness, pornography and moral
pollution before it becomes the wave of the future
in our country. What you want and need is a Congress
that will stop the wild spending that drives up your
prices and your taxes. The great silent majority
will be silent no more and is about to make itself
heard - - not by shouting obscenities, not with street
demonstrations, waving VC flags and demanding that
American throw in the sponge. The silent majority
will be heard in the way that really counts - with
their votes in the millions on election day. The
paramount issue is this: will a little band of radical
liberals in Washington, with no constituency but each
other, succeed in frustrating the will of the new
majority of the American people? 11

VP Agnew lavishly praised two of Florida's fore- -
most opponents of school busing. Winning Agnew's
praise were Bill Cramer, running uphill, and
Gov. Kirk. Agnew praised Kirk for his opposition
to a Federal court order earlier this year, saying
Kirk had brought the school busing issue into focus,
"and surely, 11 he said, "every citizen here has heard
of Bill Cramer's leadership in a very practical way
in the school busing issue. 11 Despite his praise
