Kooks’ campaign for president
United Press International
ATLANTA — They are the flashy
Indidates — some sporting long
lite beards, some campaigning in
Id, white and blue outfits — often
[eking voter support on the basis of
iple themes they hope will appeal
Id the public. To most people, they
kooks.
| Accepting that more easily than
ie more entrenched hopefuls
ight, about 50 turned up in Atlanta
the first Presidential Kookie Can-
Idate Convention. But that does not
ean they are joking. All are listed
with the Federal Election Commis
sion and seem to be sincere in think
ing their chances for victory are good
— citing Jimmy Carter’s recent rise
from near obscurity.
Former truck driver Earl “Black
jack” Stevens of Missouri, claiming
campaign contributions of $18 mil
lion, said he expects to win on a plat
form that includes restoration of the
70 mph speed limit and what he calls
“100 percent parity for truckers.”
Stevens said he also would return
to the schools, “Prayer, the Pledge of
Allegiance, and the singing of Christ
mas carols.”
John Hagg, who said he had only
raised $5 “to help me with my bus
fare,” admitted his chances of living
in the White House for the first four
years of the 1980s are “very poor.”
Nevertheless, he rode a bus from
California for almost three days to
reach the convention.
The gathering was organized by
Nick Belluso, who waged an un
orthodox and unsuccessful campaign
for governor of Georgia in 1978 —
trying to use a hypnotist in his televi
sion advertising.

More than 1,000 people attended

$1 2 million raised will endow a poli-
:al science chair at Boston College,
’Neill’s alma mater.
Carter and Kennedy walked into

tering the ring. Both came out jab-
ing with light banter.
The last time the two men
ipeared together publicly was at
October dedication of the John
Kennedy presidential library in

had seen Carter’s mother, Lillian,
while campaigning in Alabama last
week.
“Miss Lillian said her son had
worked very hard for three years and
that he needed a little rest. I assured
her I was in complete agreement,”
he quipped.
The Massachusetts senator said he
and Carter were “in very close agree
ment” on one of Carter’s proposals.
“He favors a single term of six years
for president of the United States.
We are only two years apart.”
In an unmistakeable reference to
Kennedy, Carter said O’Neill once

“I realize there are probably 100
candidates who are put into the
kookie’ classification,” said Belluso.
“The convention is trying to offset
this negative image of being a kook
because you want to run for presi
dent.”
Convention chairman Rex Taylor
opened with a typical political con
vention speech as he stood beneath a
red, white and blue banner that
read: “Be a kook. Clowns have run
the country long enough.”
Donald Badgley, his grey beard
reaching to the chest of his prophet’s
outfit, said he is “not happy with the
direction the country is going. ”
“I believe the older generation
should be a servant to the younger
generation and not a master,” said
the 61-year-old, staff-carrying candi
date.
Frank Ahern of Louisiana, dressed
in a Marine Corps flak jacket and a
military cap brimming with medals,
proposed using dirigibles for hauling
freight and cultivating oyster beds
for food. He said only a tiny portion
of the eggs oysters lay are ever
hatched.
Candidate Bobbie Shofner said he
has learned that communists will be
gathered on the Rio Grande within
10 years.
Texan Leon Pickett, sporting a
“re-elect no one” label on his neck
tie, brought a vial of gold and a copy
of the Magna Carta with him to the
convention. He spoke for abolition of
the income tax and promised to dis
mantle nuclear energy facilities and
wipe out organized crime.

Carter also said the voters in
O’Neill’s congressional district
“know the value, which I cherish
along with you, of re-electing the in
cumbent.”
Both men grew serious, however,
to pay tribute to O’Neill.
“Tip has never been afraid to stand
up for what be believed and to work
for what he knows is right,” Carter
said. “At a time when people are
hungry for leaders, he tells the truth
— the unvarnished truth.”
Kennedy said O’Neill, “has stood
against the harshest winds in the
worst of times. In our day and gener
ation, Tip O’Neill is Mr. Democrat. ”
