克拉克获得了两个州的支持
威斯康辛州的两位老政治家最近加入了韦斯利·克拉克竞选总统的行列。前市议员、国务卿和律师威尔·菲利普斯最近为代理市长马文·普拉特宣誓就职。菲利普斯说，她支持这位阿肯色州将军竞选总统。在她的支持下，她加入了查尔斯·兰格尔和安德鲁·杨等黑人领袖的行列。菲利普斯出席了克拉克的募捐会，1月27日星期二在朱莉·w·科勒的家中。菲利普斯说，她刚刚和亨利·亚伦通完电话，他提出给她寄机票，并安排她2月6日在亚特兰大参加他的生日派对。“哦，我不确定我是否会去，”韦尔说，这让参加派对的人感到沮丧，他们无法想象会拒绝亨利·亚伦的任何邀请，不管有没有免费的机票和住宿。到星期天她还没有决定。维尔·菲利普斯面临许多决定。当她离开市政会议时，她买了一张旧的卷顶桌子，那是市议员们在安装现在的宝石之前使用过的。这张桌子可能会被威斯康星州历史协会(Historical Society of Wisconsin)收藏。 Why not the city-owned Milwaukee Public Library? “Well, the historical society already has a full-size statue of me,” Phillips said. Good enough reason. The attendees, including Frank Gimbel (who has a huge Clark sign posted in his east side yard), Mort and Dani Gendelman, Curry First, Dennis Conta and about 40 others filled the Kohler residence to talk up their man and to dine on way too much food provided from such disparate sources as Sam’s Club and Watermark restaurant. A special guest of honor was to have been former Senator Gaylord Nelson, ranked fourth on a list of the most important Wisconsinites in history. He’s the only one of the top five who is still alive. Alas! Nelson hadn’t even made it as far as the end of the driveway of his Kensington, Maryland home in days, so he called in his visit by speakerphone. Heavy snowfall complicated by quaint Maryland snow removal traditions kept him home, Nelson said. He endorses Clark for president, the Earth Day founder told the attendees in Milwaukee. Nelson speaks very slowly these days. The delivery, although halting, does nothing to mute the intellectual vigor and wit of Nelson. Regarding his choice of the military man for president, the anti-Vietnam War ex-Senator said, “People were wondering how could Gaylord Nelson support a general for president?” (Pause.) “Well, George Washington was a general.” (Pause.) “And he was a pretty good president.” (Laughter.) Apparently, Nelson held republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower in high regard. He noted that General Ike warned us about the military-industrial complex. “This is a fascinating race,” Nelson said, (Pause.) But there is a long way to go.” The State of Wisconsin constitution, as amended, does not give the Lieutenant Governor much to do. This suited Scott McCallum fine, but Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton is a restless sort and has been an early supporter and campaign groupie of […]
