NH Primary Has Problems
By HUGH MULLIGAN
AP Special Correspondent
After travelling' the length and
breadth of New Hampshire at
that frozen, happy time called
primary season, one wonders what
inscrutable thoughts bearded old
Ho Chi Minh must be thinking
about a subject so inscrutable as
the new Hampshire presidential
primary.
Do his early days in America
as a busboy at the Parker House
Hotel in nearby Boston qualify
him to comprehend the spectacle
of Michigan Gov. George Romney
stumbling down ski slopes and
falling off snowmobiles; of Rich
ard Nixon sipping coffee with a
klatch of rural housewives in a
rambling old farmhouse, of ur
bane Sen. Eugene McCarthy
shaking hands in the frosty dawn
at a Nashua factory gate.
What can Ho make of televi
sion crews mushing through the
mountain drifts of Crawford
Notch in the White Mountains to
capture for a waiting nation the
nine voters in Hart’s Location
who make history every four
years by getting up at dawn to
be the first voting precinct to
report anywhere in the land?
Last time around, if Ho wants
to analyze American voting pat
terns, Hart’s Location’s five Re
publicans cast one vote for Barry
Goldwater, one for Nelson Rocke
feller, three by write-in for Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, who happened
to be in Saigon at the time, and
the four Democrats all voted for
Lyndon Johnson by write-ins.
Lodge, of course, won the elec
tion by not even showing up in
New Hampshire, just as Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower won it back
in 1952 from a villa outside Paris,
beating Bob Taft who chugged
doggedly for weeks through the
drifts.
The write-in provision on the
ballot adds to the inscrutability
of the New Hampshire primary,
and also gives it a zany, sus
penseful flavor that later and
perhaps more important primaries
lack.
Mass., businessman with a plan
to end the Vietnam war in 72
hours, and Herbert F. Hoover, a
fourth cousin twice removed of
the late Republican president who
was last removed by the police as
a draft dodger but pardoned by
President Kennedy.
THE BATTALION
Thursday, February 8, 1968 College Station, Texas
Page 5
Already the lists include two
Indians: Chief Burning Wood,
running on a platform of “Indian
Power,” and Princess Running
Water, frankly out for the hippie
vote; a Chicago ice cream ped
dler named Don Dumont running
on a “Good Humor” platform; a
California jockey promising to
do something for the little peo
ple; Jacob Gordon, a Worcester,
Coyering the New Hampshire
primary on the spot is a colorful
experience for any reporter rea
sonably gifted with a typewriter,
thermal underwear and the abili
ty to tell a ground swell from a
frost heave. Winning it from
Paris or Saigon is no longer con
sidered an impossible feat. Under
standing it from Hanoi—or even
Hart’s Location—is another mat
ter.
A&M Professor Publishes
Freshman English Textbook
A new college English text for
freshman composition courses,
“The Five-Hundred-Word Theme”
by Dr. Lee J. Martin of Texas
A&M, will roll from Prentice-
Hall presses soon.
Skills exclusive of mechanics
involved in writing and revising a
short expository theme are pre
sented. Thirty diagrams and ac
companying text explain struc
ture of sentence, paragraphs and
organization.
Martin, English Department
head at A&M, said the text is
designed to “let the student see
in a diagrammatic form what his
product is supposed to be.”
The publication grew out of an
overhead projector transparency
set he devised several years ago
for instructing large sections of
freshman English.
