23 POLITICS Griffin conceded in advance of the debate on the checkoff proposal that "probably" the Dems had the votes "to pass this so-called campaign finance bill. 11 He con- tended it would make certain that Wallace would be a 172 candidate by guaranteeing funds. But EMK argued "The hundreds of millions of private dollars now pouring into election campaigns are giving politics the air of dirty business it is a disgrace to every basic principle on which the Nation stands. 11 Mansfield said now candidates would no longer be beholden to "big labor, big corporations, rich men. 11 Gurney said "it is the obligation of every politician who wants to run for political office to raise his own money. 11 Mathias proposed allowing a $100 deduction on contributions or a $25 credit on contributions up to $50 Sen. Cook noted the $1.00 checkoff proposal did nothing about the primaries Sen. Long says 52 Dems and up to 3 Republicans will support the measure. On NBC film Reagan said that Conservative political disgruntlement with RN's policies toward the PRC would disappear when conservatives see that RN does not give in to the Communists during his trip to China. The Gov. noted GOP has long been concerned with appeasement but it's usually happened under Dems and RN has no intention bargaining away anything of value to US. Following clip of Reagan, Chancellor said the visit pointed up a basic fact of life for RN he can't afford to lose any '68 conservative support but he can't win with it alone. So he's trying to broaden appeal with very un-Nixon-like things such as controls and PRC trip while using VP, Reagan and Barry to reassure the right. Speaking in Chicago, Dole said critics of RN are interested in opposition for the sake of opposition to "break the President. " He said "But this President possibly suffering a carryover of mental attitudes toward the previous admin. has met with too many examples of opposition for the pure sake of opposition and attacks on his programs and initiatives which are too fre- quently grounded in personal rather than principled motivations. 11 McCloskey could lose his House seat
