Editor tough
on politicans
United Press International
PRIDES CROSSING, Mass. —
Every four years, as th New Hamp
shire primary nears, publisher Wil
liam Loeb sits at his perch overlook
ing the sea and slams out venomous
editorials that make politicians
laugh, cry, curse or cheer.
Since 1946 the 74-year-old Loeb
has been the ultraconservative edi
tor and publisher of the Manchester,
N.H., Union Leader, the only state
wide newspaper in the state that tra
ditionally has held the nation’s first
primary.
And just as the primary has a dis
proportionate influence on the pres
idential race every four years, Loeb
and his 65,000 circulation Union
Leader have a powerful influence on
New Hampshire’s 380,000 voters.
In front-page editorials he writes
and signs himself, Loeb daily casti
gates candidates in language seldom
seen in newspapers these days. Over
the years, many candidates have felt
his wrath.
Gerald Ford was “Jerry the Jerk. ”
Nelson Rockefeller was the “wife-
swapper” after his divorce and re
marriage. Sen. Edmund Muskie was
“Moscow Muskie.” Harry Truman
was the “Little dictator.” Richard
Nixon was “Keyhole Dick.” Dwight
Eisenhower was “Dopey Dwight.”
It’s the same this year. President
Carter’s nickname is “Stupid,” Sen.
Edward Kennedy is “The Coward”
- because of Chappaquiddick and
' Gov. Edmund Brown Jr., is “The
; Flake.
But if Loeb is for you, he loves
; you. Ronald Reagan is his man and
gets banner play in news stories and
- editorials. One commentary (not by
• Loeb) carried the streamer, “God
Has Chosen Reagan To Lead Us.”
Loeb acknowledges being “frank
and blunt,” and said, “I come right
out and if I think someone is a son of a
bitch, I say so.”
He said there hasn’t been a great
. president since Theodore Roosevelt,
who incidently was Loeb’s god
father. (Loeb’s father was TR’s sec
retary.) Herbert Hoover wasn’t bad,
but was a victim of his time.
His philosophy is that all is fair in
talking about politicians.
“I’m sick of this angle that Bill
Loeb is so rough on people that it
keeps good people from running for
office,” he said. “Anybody that’s
going to be so upset over what a
newspaper is going to think about
them shouldn’t be in politics.”
