DeSchweinicz says that although
some respondents are reluctant to

opinion trends that the canvassers
discovered are "very accurate."
Partial figures indicate other
wards will be far less decisively

expected amount of McGovern

Local party headquarters have
begun sending canvassers to the
more conservative portions of the
county, such as Livonia and Milan.
Much of the McGovern forces'
emphasis until election day will
be placed on these areas.
