Wallace Offers New Twist:
Pay Now 9 Campaign Later
By GARTH JONES
Associated Press Writer
When former Alabama Gov.
George Wallace’s plane flew over
the Sabine River after a three-
day tour of Texas he left behind
a new wrinkle in political cam
paign financing.
Not only were Wallace sup
porters asked to donate freely
and frequently to the cause but
they also were asked to pay for
any campaign material they use
in spreading the Wallace word.
“You’d be surprised how well
it works,” said one of Wallace’s
carefully trained aides. “It gives
them a sense of taking part in
the campaign as well as paying
for it.”
Most Texas politicians spend
thousands of dollars on campaign
literature, buttons, posters, plac
ards and such, then give them
away as fast as possible to get
the widest distribution among
voters.
When Wallace’s campaign plane
stopped during the Texas trip
the first piece of equipment off
was a big metal footlocker truck
and card table, closely followed
by a cash box. Before Wallace
could be introduced, the card table
was set up and covered with cam
paign material from the foot
locker, each item carefully mark
ed with a price. The card table
and foot locker were the last
equipment returned to the plane,
and several times the aide in
charge of the cash box had to
pack down the currency so the
lid would close.
YOU COULD buy a small lapel
button for 5 cents or a hard back
book on Wallace’s life for $5.
A phonograph album of his
speeches was $2, men’s ties $1,
automobile plates $1, tie clasps
$1, bumper stickers 10 cents, sou
venir coins 10 cents, the Wallace
newspaper 25 cents, and a news
print pamphlet of Wallace’s life
15 cents.
Many purchasers offered $5 or
$10 bills and asked for no change,
filling their arms with merchan
dise.
While Wallace spoke at each
stop, volunteer workers passed
through the audience with red
buckets seeking contributions. At
the stop in Victoria, one bucket
produced a $100 check and a $50
bill in addition to considerable
small change and bills.
REPORTERS frequently asked
the amount of contributions made
but were always told: “We just
haven’t had time to count it
yet.”
One aide said they operated
on the rule-of-thumb that collec
tions would average about $1 for
every person in a crowd “plus
of course the checks and cash
from big givers.” In addition,
supporters are asked to sign
pledge cards promising to pay
$1, $5, $25 or more each month
until November.
More than 6,000 persons at
tended the Houston rally, and
estimated 4,000 in Dallas, 2,700
in San Antonio, and more than
1,000 at several other stops.
“EVERYTHING contribut-
ed goes to the national campaign
fund,” said Ed Ewing, national
campaign coordinator. “That in
cludes receipts from sales of
campaign material. All our cam
paign is handled directly from
the Montgomery, Ala., campaign
headquarters.”
Sometimes the national cam
paign helps local groups with a
part of local campaign expenses,
particularly for newspaper and
radio advertising. Otherwise local
expenses are paid by local con
tributions.
Wallace was asked by reporters
frequently, almost every stop*
how he finances the campaign.
“I’m glad you asked that,” he
answers. “Our money comes from
the people. If you want to give
us a check just send it to ... ”
and he gives the mail address of
the national headquarters.
