Supporters rally to honor Eugene McCarthy 20 years after becoming presidential hopeful MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Peace buttons and posters were seen again Sunday as supporters honored for mer Sen. Eugene McCarthy, who galvanized the anti-Vietnam War movement when he declared his E residential candidacy 20 years ago ist week. Although he eventually lost the 1968 Democratic presidential nomi nation to then-Vice President Hu bert Humphrey, a fellow Minneso tan, McCarthy said his campaign helped America put military deci sions into historical context. “You can’t go in and say, ‘The ide ology says we fight or the military says we can win or there’s a doctrine of some kind that’s been applied or this is a line of tradition of the coun try,’ ” McCarthy told the crowd of about 200. McCarthy, now 71, announced his presidential campaign on Nov. 30, 1967, amid growing dissention over the Vietnam War. His campaign at tracted young opponents of the war who decided to get “Clean for Gene” and fight the Democratic Party es tablishment. Eventually, President Lyndon B. Johnson decided against seeking re- election, and Humphrey narrowly lost the 1968 presidential contest to Republican Richard M. Nixon. McCarthy also sought but failed to win the Democratic nomination for president in 1972 and ran for presi dent as an independent in 1976. He now lives in Virginia, where he writes. He has said he has no plans to run for office again. “In Minnesota the campaign of ’68 was very much like civil war, and it was difficult to work out a reconcil iation during the campaign and dif ficult to do it after,” McCarthy said. McCarthy’s campaign helped America avoid future entanglements in foreign countries, said Vance Op- perman, 44, of Hopkins, who helped organize the reunion. “We do not have 400,000 troops in Central America,” Opperman said. “We do not have 400,000 troops in Afghanistan. We have not invaded Honduras. Many of the ad ventures, misadventures that I think would have occurred have not oc curred primarily because I think ev eryone knows Vietnam was a mis take. “The amazing thing about this movement was, I’ve never heard in 20 years anyone — anyone — on any side of any issue ever say that we were wrong, we should have stayed in Vietnam. ... I think that’s an American consensus.” McCarthy “helped lead a movement,” said Mayor Don Fraser, a former congressman who had sup- ported Humphrey in 1968. “He was a rallying point for a large part of this country. It helped to educate a whole generation of America.” Call your mummy You remember. She was always there when you were frightened. And if you got hurt, she was standing by with bandages.
