Nixon and Wallace

New York, Oct. 1—Everywhere, the talk is of George Wallace and his uncanny progress. The uptown moralizers do not depart from the single theme that Wallace is evil, that what he represents is evil, and that therefore heistobe handled about as we would handle the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan whom, we discovered, Aunt Jane was secretly voting for. With some of this analysis I happen to agree, respecting Wallace about as much as I would have Huey Long. But the fact of the matter is that Wallace is on to something, and if that something isn’t unconstitutional, it is the right of the people to have it if that is what they want.
