McGovern was presented to the convention by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, whose own appearance drew a mighty roar from delegates who, in other circumstances, might have been his.

Kennedy spoke of "new participation politics," and said McGovern would carry them forward. "Let no one doubt the energy of this party," he said, "for we are united, not just by the desire for party leadership or public office, but by a heritage." McGovern vowed to wrest the White House from President Nixon to bring America to a new time of important, hopeful change and political ferment. "American politics will never be the same," he said. Calling his ascent to the top of the party "a nomination of the people," the South Dakota senator said the United States is "entering a new period of important, hopeful change comparable to trie political ferment in the eras of Jefferson, Jackson aves MIAMI BEACH If history 1 When they finally woke up, the has shown us one thing about I train had already passed them presidential elections, it is that i Y- The gloom is as much em-v barrassment at exposure as it is tneeany pieuicuuuo are usuaiiy icjear prophecy.

The GOP simply doesn't have the front line troops nor the sense of urgency to do so. But the administration is not without resources. The last time an incumbent president was defeated for reelection was in 1932 when Herbert Hoover fell victim to the Shapp Urges Delegates To Unite for Victory MIAMI BEACH Gov. Shapp challenged battered and divided Depression.

The last example before that was 1892, when Gro-ver Cleveland, an incumbent Pennsylvania delegates to the Democratic National Convention Thursday to bind up their wounds and unite for victorv in victim himself four years before, defeated Benjamin Harrison. The conclusion is that it is terribly difficult to defeat an incumbent president, particularly the fall. "I know you've had problems down here," the governor told Behind Scenes With State Delegation By Ben Livingood and Roosvelt." McGovern called on every Democrat "and every Republican and independent who wants America to be the great and good land it can be" to support his campaign against President Nixon. "We are not conceding a single state to Richard Nixon," McGovern told the Democratic National Convention in his acceptance speech. McGovern.

whose nomination was viewed by many in his own party as a threat to Democratic candidates throughout the country, was highly conciliatory toward his opponents. "To anyone in this hall or beyond who doubts the ability of Democrats to join together in common cause," McGovern said, "I say never underestimate the power of Richard Nixon to bring harmony to Democratic ranks. He is our unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this campaign. McGovern, who has been widely criticized by fellow Democrats for his proposals to cut the U.S. defense budget, attempted in his speech to reassure them that he would not play into the hands of an enemy.

"But," he added, "this is nothing new with Democratic conventions." He pointed to differences that had split past conventions in 1960 and 1968, reminding the delegates that in both instances Pennsylvania Democrats were able to reunite and carry their state for the ticket in the fall. Shapp, who gave up his delegate's credentials to tend to recovery operations in his flood-ravaged state, came to the convention in its twilight hours at the beckoning of the party's presidential nominee, Sen. George S.
