a 10-Sunday, March 23, 1980-The Michigan Daily .;:. , ~ :: ....,: ,:., ::: : ":ti:. , " , ,, andidate orkers emain WASHINGTON (AP) -Despite the stunning triumphs of President Carter and ' Ronald Reagan, there is no, apparent rush by backers of the other White House hopefuls to sign up with the front-runners, a survey shows. An Associated Press spot check of political ac- tivists across the country showed backers of Democrats Edward Kennedy and Edmund Brown Jr., and Republicans George Bush and John Anderson are, hanging tough despite the reverses suffered by their favorites. "People are remaining in place," said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Peter Fletcher. "People experienced in the arena know a Jot of things can happen in two or three months time. You can't take anything for gran- ted." KENNEDY HAS beaten Carter only once, in the Massachusetts primary. On the GOP side, Bush won in Massachusetts after beating Reagan in the' Iowa caucuses, but Reagan has swept all the other primaries. Rep. Philif Crane of Illinois suggested last week that his supporters work for Reagan's nomination, although Crane stopped short of formally withdrawing from the race. That left some of the congressman's followers in a state of confusion. . Former GOP candidate John Connally has been reported as ready to endorse Reagan soon. BUT THE candidates still in the race seem to be holding their own in hopes of a comeback. "I've never been a switch-hitter," said Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley, who endorsed Kennedy early in the campaign. "We'll stay with the senator as long as he's in the race," Kelley said. "Realistically, his chan- ces are slim. It would take a major turnaround. But I don't see anybody getting out." Among the few defectors was Tony Adams, Kennedy's North Carolina 'campaign chairman who resigned the day after the Iowa caucuses and switched to Carter, saying the president had proved he could lead the party, But neither Ken- nedy nor Brown ever had much support in North Carolina. ON THE REPUBLICAN side, George Bush appears to be hanging onto his supporters in Nor- th Carolina, even though the former United Nations ambassador is a heavy underdog to Reagan in that state. Three Bush supporters in Maryland have switched to uncommitted status on that state's primary ballot, but they say it is purely a prac- tical matter. Former Sen. J. Glenn Beall and state Sens. Edward Mason and Edward Thomas say they feel Reagan is likely to carry their district but they hope to win election on their own strength. They still plan to work for Bush. FROM WASHINGTON state, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio; New York, Connec- ticut, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee came reports of cam- paign troops standing pat, although the under- dogs never had much support in some of those states. "People in this state who voted for Kennedy were making a statement, and I think they'll stick to their statement," said Karen Marchioro, a Kennedy supporter in Washington and party chairwoman in King County. Although Anderson failed to get on the Pen- nsylvania ballot, his supporters there as well as in other states where he is active are faithful despite the odds. "I'm an Anderson supporter up to the conven- tion and hopefully beyond," said Anderson-state coordinator John DiNunzio. "We have no delusions of grandeur. But I'll support Congressman Anderson as long as he has a viable campaign." Shirley Williams of the Bush campaign in Texas says there have been no defections there. )yal to, heir men ..... . n. .. ....... ....:r.... .,n .. . . . . . . . . . .. .....4o:..... ...*. . ..... . ... . . . . . . .... 4 {{.}:ti v "{:w"." ..., ... n .. . .... ... .. . .n ..... , . .n.. ........4 ........ .. ... .. .. .4 ... ..h , . .:'"{ :{: .. abortion .

(AP) - President Carter trouni ced Sen. Edward Kennedy in Democratic Party caucuses yesterday as Virginia's delegate selection process began. Virginia was the only southern state Carter failed to carry in the 1976 general election. With the tabulations completed for roughly nine per cent of the caucus-mass meetings held across the state, Carter led his Massachusetts challenger by about a six-to-one margin. STATE DEMOCRATIC Party officials said it was likely Carter ultimately would get 59 of the state's 64 delegates to the national nominating convention. By late afternoon, officials said, 2,169 Carter sup- porters had been elected as delegates to attend con- ventions in Virginia's 10 congressional districts and the state Democratic convention in Richmond on May 16-17. Kennedy backers had elected only 355 delegates, while California Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. could claim only one. Those listing themselves as "uncommitted" totaled 186.. IN WASHINGTON, the White House issued a statement hailing Carter's "decisive victory." A presidential aide who asked for anonymity predicted Carter would wind up with at least 55 of the 64 delegates. The statement said Carter's win means Kennedy would have to capture 62 per cent of the delegates in all remaining caucuses and primaries to win the nomination. Just five days ago, the Carter camp said that Ken- nedy would need 56 per cent of the delegates. But each win for the president ups the percentage. "THE CONTINUING primaries and caucuses provide voters from across the country the oppor- tunity to express their views on the type of leadership they want for the next four years," the White House statement said, "and the president is grateful for the continued strong preference shown his candidacyl0 all regions of the country." The Virginia meetings were ;held to select 2,999 delegates to the state convention, from which the 64 will be chosen for the Democratic National Conven- tion this August in New York City. Each district convention will name five delegates to the national convention. Another 14 will be named by the state convention. Between 20,000 and 35,000 people had been.expected to participate in the caucuses. Prefiled registrations for the caucuses had } dicated Carter would enjoy at least a 3-1 margin ov Kennedy, his principal rival for the party's nomination. NATIONALLY., CARTER enjoyed a nearly 3-1 delegate margin over Kennedy going into Saturday's caucuses.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ronald Reagan appears headed for a first-ballot nomination at the Republican National Convention and speculation isunder way on the man or woman he will choose as his running mate. Reagan, already 69, might not-if elected-seek a second term, putting his vice president in an excellent position for 1984. Reagan has repeatedly said he will seek a running mate "who believes as I ff . do philosgphically and who would carry on my policies no matter what happened." SOME ATTRACTIVE candidates-Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Paul Laxalt of Nevada-have to be scratched because they come from western states as does Reagan. That leaves the Midwest, the South and Northeast. Two of the most frequently mentioned possibilities-both blue chip in the eyes of conservatives-are Reps. Jack Kemp of New York and Phil Crane of Illinois. KEMP, A 44-year-old former pro football quarterback, has come to national attention through . co- sponsorship of the Kemp-Roth tax cut; Crane has been plodding through the primaries getting a smattering of votes. A longtime Reagan supporter like Kemp and adds Senate GOP- leader Howard Baker has been "mentioned from time to time." He added that Baker'is "reasonably close" to Reagan philosophically, but ". . . some conservatives would resist." The same Reagan suporter dismissed John Connally and George Bush as possibilities. Connally's unsuccessful campaign showed the public wasn't "very enchanted" with him, he said, adding of Bush: "All he has is a resume and it isn't a "ery good one at thatwhen you get through the tea pouring in China." Two other senators mentioned are Richard Lugar of Indiana and John Danforth of Missouri. Governors who could get a call include William Milliken of Michigan, Robert Ray of Iowa and Richard Snelling of Vermont, but they all might be too far to the center for Reagan. I Hewlett-Packard t The Ace in a I Advisers tell Kennedy to continue campaign WASHINGTON (AP) - Some of Sen. Edward Kennedy's advisers are telling him to keep plugging i his challenge to President Carter, even as they concede it will take a dose of the unforeseen to save a withering campaign. "It's mathematically possible, psychologically possible, politically possible, and practically possible for things to change," said one close aide who has been with the senator for a decade. "THE IRANIAN and Afghanistan situations have worked for Carter The United Nations vote against Israel worked against him. You don't know what will happen next, but I'm convinced something will. Things could change very quickly," said. this aide, who requested anonymity. By that scenario, "he wouldn't have to drop out, and he still could have some impact at the conven- tion," said.one lieutenant who alst declined to be identified publicly. "That way he could keep both his viability and his dignity." IN AN interview late in the week, Kennedy acknowledged hearing from "those who say you go back to the Senate and use that as a base and speak to the issues. But I haven't thought about that." Kennedy repeated his vow that even if he does poorly in the New York and Connecticut primaries o' Tuesday, he will not fold up his tent. "I'm in this race for the course," he declared. YET SOME Kennedy insiders say that if the senator fails to pick up the New York delegates he has called "essential," he will downgrade or perhaps even suspend active cam- paigning. , At least five members of Ken- nedy's family, including campaig director and brother-in-law Stephel Smith, attended a meeting in the family's New York apartment late Thursday. Sources who refused to be iden- tified said they discussed whether the candidate should drop out. 0 Winning Hand n ('(gal who would he pick? Individual and social Elements of SUICIDE.
