HflS NINTH AND LAST POSTULATE stated that the party system in America is diminishing. He cited this election as a victory for Nixon as the president but a loss for him in Congress. After stating his postulates, Kilpatrick answered questions which varied from campaigiA spending to “who will be the candidates in 1976.”
Kilpatrick said he thought Kennedy would be the logical choice right now for 1976 and Agnew or Connally for the Republicans. He indicated that Agnew had “certain problems” which he had to overcome whereas Connally did not have those same problems. He said that spending in the campaign was “outrageous” and something had to be done about it. He said he was impressed with the British system where campaigning can only last for three weeks, and where TV ads may not be purchased. Instead, the BBC allots equal time to each candidate.
On other questions, he thought that Wallace was the shrewdest campaigner of the primaries, directing himself to the welfare issue and busing. He feels that if Wallace had a better organization, and had not been shot, he might have proved a real threat.
Near the end of the questioning, Kilpatrick said one of the disappointments was that less that 60% of the eligible voters actually voted. He called this “pathetic.” — Douglas Lees □
