Poge Si., THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, May 20, 1976 Mo Udalls heartening defeat (Coattned from Page t player) made t h e s e voters identify with him. NEITHER OF these reasons seems quite adequate. He cam- paigned very little in the lower middle class areas because he expected to lose there, and it is difficult to believe that his bas- ketball prowess won him many votes. The answer is the change in image of Udall's opponent, Jimmy Carter. In the early pri- maries, Carter was viewed as the underdog. He was little known outside of Georgia. He was a fresh face outside Wash- ins':on who could let every- one forget about Watergate, po- litical favors, and bureaucracy. Hated by all the big time poli- ticians, he was loved by the people. But now that he's in front, he's beginning to look like the candidates of old. In recent weeks Carter has been endorsed by labor leaders Leonard Wood- cock and George Meany, by Senators Birch Bayh and Tom Eagleton, and by Detroit Mayor Coleman Young.

LIBERTY 994-5350 the state who voted for Wallace in 1972 voted for him because he was different. He didn't have all the usual ties to Washington and big business, and although this was the Carter image in February, it no longer is. As he rolls closer and closer to the no:tination, more and more hacks jump on the bandwagon and Carter begins to look like just another politician. Udall came to Michigan, and via personal contact and media exposure took his cause to the people. He was viewed as the underdog, and Carter was view- ed as tre candidate backed by labor and business and other politicians. Perhaps if Carter had campaigned here he could have convinced the voters other- wise. But with Udall on televi- sion and in the papers and Car- ter in Maryland, these frustrat- ed voters went for 'Mo.' UDALL ALSO did well in De- troit's Wayne County. He was expected, by even the most op- timistic supporters, to lose by 20 per cent in Wayne, mainly because Carter was expected to STYLING ia the way to go. U-M Stylists at the UNION DAVE, HAROLD & CHET carry the black vote by more than 2 to 1, but he wound up only 4000 vos behind. Carter won by only 20 per cent in the predominately black districts, while Udat vas the heavy favo- rite in the outskirts of Detroit. These suburban Wayne County voters, like those in Macomb, are mainly white, low-middle and middle income people. One big reason Udall did so well in Detroit was that black voter turnout was extremely low. In District 1, comprised of mostly poor and middle-income blacks who were thought to be strong Carter backers, the turn- out was 15 per cent less than in 1972. The main reason the black voters stayed home was the conflicting views of Detroit's two main black political leaders, Mayor Young, and Rep. John C o n y e r s (D - Detroit). With Young supporting Carter and Conyers backing Udall, many black voters simply couldn't de- cide. EXCEPT FOR Flint and the Saginaw-Bay City area, most of the rest of Michigan is farm- land. Carter has been winning farm areas in all the primaries and Michigan was no excep- MEHTA NAMED DIRECTOR LOS ANGELES (AP) - Zubin Mehta has been named music director of the New York Phil- harmonic, starting in the fall of 1978.

Udall's showing in Flint and Saginaw-Bay City was disap- pointing as Carter won by a 25 per cent margin. Here the labor support worked for the former governor. These are all one- corporation automobile cities, where the unions tend to be closer and have more of a hold over the workers. THE ONLY other surprise was the usually conservative Upper Peninsula, which went heavily for Udall. The main reason for this would appear to be the voters' hatred of the Sea- farer program. In the mid-west- ern section of the UP, where the ecological balance is threat- ened by Seafarer, Udall, who strongiy opposes Seafarer, won nearly 3 to 1. In the areas not affected by the project, Carter was the choice. But much as the Udall camp would like to consider this a victory, it still isn't going to be enough to stop the Carte- mo- mentum. Carter has learned that he can't just sit back and relax and expect to win. He knows now that he must spend more time campaigning in fu- ture primaries to avoid such voter swmgovers in the last week as that in Michigan. He has already proven that he can win, and he needs only to re- turn to his plan of taking his case and his smile to the people t get back on the ',;nning trak.
