The News-Messenger from Fremont, Ohio • 5

Friday, July 19, 1976, The New Messenger, Fremont, 0. 5 I Ohio delegates cite Glenn's inexperience as critical factor Appearing at a Columbus news conference with National Party Chairwoman Mary Louise Smith, he agreed with her, moreover, that the naming by Carter of Sen. Walter Mondale, gives Democrats "a vulnerable ticket" nationwide. McGough conceded, In response to a question, that Glenn "would have made our job more difficult In Ohio, although I think Republicans still could have carried the state." He and other Republicans have conceded the past few weeks they were concerned that Carter might choose the former astronaut and freshman senator who won his Ohio seat in 1974 by about a million votes. looked upon him as another Carter on the issues," and they were particularly disturbed by Carter's stance on cutting military spending.

"The support for Glenn wasn't deep," in the Ohio delegation, said Warren Lotz of Bowling Green. "There was a problem with the lack of experience. But the real reason Is that the presidential candidate has to decide who he wants, it's up to him." Meanwhile In Ohio, the bypassing of Sen. John Glenn as a vice presidential running mate for Jimmy Carter is going to make the job of Ohio Republicans easier, State GOP Chairman Kent B. McGough said Thursday.

New York City newspapers, quoting "political sources," began to write Glenn off. "I think the consensus was we'd all have liked to see Glenn (get the nomination), but his chances were diminished then," she said. "The thing of it is," said Dayton delegate George Braner, "I worried about an overall ticket with two military guys on it (Glenn was an Air Force astronaut, Carter a Navy officer.) I think the Republicans would have exploited that." Braner, a national representative for the steel workers union, said otherwise he thinks Glenn would have made a great vice president. Although Ohio's 126 Carter delegates gave him the largest bloc of support from any single state, there was a small core of Moris Udall delegates, and they most assuredly did not back Glenn. Kathleen Barber of Shaker Heights, a leader of the Udall delegates, declared that "support for Glenn in the Udall delegation was underwhelming." We Convention In New York's Madison Square Garden.

Just like Jimmy Carter, Ohio delegates to the Democratic National Convention had the opportunity to study Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, up close this week, and decide for themselves if he was really the man to run as Democratic nominee for vice president. Just like Jimmy Carter, a lot of them decided he wasn't. "I feel he just hasn't had enough experience as a senator yet," said Melisse Anderson of Marietta. "I felt there were other men who could serve better." Besides that, she said a lot of people in the delegation were buzzing about a story in Parade Magazine Sunday, which described an $80,000 contribution made to Glenn by his campaign manager.

The story claimed it was the highest single contribution to any senator that year, and the big money implications weren't easy to swallow. Like a lot of others here, Anderson thought his keynote speech Monday night was a disappointment, because he was hard to hear on the convention floor (Although he came across clearly on television), and because he was followed by the spell-binding Houston congresswoman, Barbara Jordan, who brought the crowd to its feet. Compared to her, Glenn seemed bland, and the Reservoir to be dedicated COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A new $2.1 million reservoir for the Huron County village of New London will be dedicated Monday.

At the White House, where President Ford is Jousting with former Califorina Gov. Ronald Reagan for the nomination, insiders were jubilant about the selection of Mondale, certain it would weaken the Democrats in the South this fall.

Nominee Carter, a former governor of Georgia, said that he selected Mondale because the 48-year-old senator displayed these assets: He has "presidential qualifications; a great feeling of understanding and compassion for persons who need government the most; he has the trust of a wide range of Democrats, and he prepared himself for the prospect of his selection in a very satisfying way." Mondale has a long history of impressing the politicians who hand out jobs. His first political office was attorney general of Minnesota, a job to which he was appointed at 31 by then-Gov. Orvllle Freeman, whose campaign he had managed. "If I had kept him on as campaign manager instead of appointing him attorney general, I might have won a fourth term," Freeman said in an interview Thursday. "I lost by one-tenth of a per cent." The appointee went on two years later to win election to the attorney general's post.

One of his accomplishments was a successful fraud prosecution of some of the workers for the charitable Sister Kenney Foundation. Old pal Norman Sherman of Chevy Chase, a former aide to Hubert Humphrey, recalled that Mondale developed an enthusiastic constitutency while attorney general. "We were trying to get him to Washington without anyone finding out once I forget why and I booked him on an airline under an assumed name. A lot of good it did.

Hello, Mr. Attorney Mondale's second political office was U.S. Senator, an appointment he got in 1964 to fill out the term of Humphrey, the man who had inspired him to enter politics and his old Macalester College professor, who had been elected vice president.

Mondale was twice elected easily on his own. This led wags to quip at the convention that "Fritz became interested in the vice presidency when he heard you could be appointed to it." Mondale is a product of Minnesota's Democratic Farmer Labor Party, which was put together by Humphrey and Freeman with the help of what was known then as "The Diaper Brigade" so-called because of the youthfulness of volunteers like Mondale. His first foray into politics had come in 1947 when he campaigned for Humphrey's election as mayor of Minneapolis. The following year Freeman managed Humphrey's campaign for the Senate, and Mondale worked for him as manager of the race in the heavily-Republican Second Congressional District.
