It's been a long time since I first said those r*.words, and now I'm here to tell you that I accept your nomination." After C a r t e r submitted Mondale's " name at 10:00 yesterday morning, the approval of the convention was a fore- gone conclusion. The Minnesotan was selected from a list of possible running mates which diminished as the conven- tion wore oni; it was generally hetieved that Mondale wo out over Main e Seator Edmund Muskie and Ohio Senator John Glenn. Mondale is thought to give Car- ter's ticket balance as a Northerner, a liberal, and a member of Congress, The restless convention waited through hours of tedious proceedings for the en- Daily Photo by KEN FINK trance of their new-found hero.

See CARTER, Page 2 Reagan criticizes Dem duo HARRISBURG, Pa. P) - Nanald Reagan said yesterday that Jimmy Carter's choice of Sen. Walter Mondale as his hun- ning mate shoss the Democra- tic party will continue the phi- lssophy of big government and "Out-of-fashion" liberalism. "This indicates that after all the brave anti-Washington talk, we're going to see the usual kind of Democratic approach- more of the same things, more government programs, more Washington," Reagan said. M E A N W H I L E acting like a candidate himself, Presi- dent Ford congratulated Jimmy Carter on becoming the Demo- cratic presidential contender and expressed hope the forth- coming election campaign would be "at a high level." "I look forward to a good con- test this fall," Ford told Car- ter in a two-minute telephone call from Washington to convey his comments on Carter's nomi- nation.- "We'll give the Ameri- can people a choice," Ford add- ed. Press secretary Ron Nessen said later that Ford thought he and Carter would give the American people "a real choice" by pitting the record of Ford's policies against those of Carter. BUT REAGAN, who came to Mirrisburg to court Pennsyl- vania's 25 uncommitted dele- gtes to the Republican Na- tional Convention, especially criticized Mondale's proposed child - care legislation. He called it "a bill that would in- ject government into the family relationship to a greater extent than it's ever been done in our nation's history." The legislation would extend federal day - care services through Sept. 3, 1977, at a cost of $240 million. "Now I think the Jimmy Carter that has been presented as a kind of vague or confusing figure is going to come into clearer focus," Reagan. HE IDENTIFIED Mondale as a member of the liberal wing of the Democratic party and added, "I think liberalism is pretty much out of fashion to- day." Reagan, who trails President Ford by 33 delegates in the race for the GOP nomination, re- peated h-is claim that he has a better chance of winning against Carter. Reagan said he made that point in a series of private meetings with Pennsyl- vania delegates. Ford leads Reagan nation- wide 1,032 to 999 according to an Associated Press delegate survey with 1,130 needed for the nomination In Pennsylvan- ia, Ford leads 72 to 5 with 25 uncommitted and one delegate for Sen. Howard Baker of Ten- nessee. There are 172 uncommitted delegates and 55 still to be selected this week in Connecti- cut and Utah.
