Democratic principles." As much as the Carter people wanted him to strike such a unity theme, they could not have failed to miss the implicit warning: Kennedy could still end up sitting on his hands on Election Day if he came to believe that Mr. Carter had betrayed those cherished "Democratic principles." Some people who have known Kennedy for nearly two decades felt it was the speech of a lifetime. They wondered whether Kennedy might not have catapulted himself into the presidency if he had given such a speech at an earlier and more promising time in his political career. Kennedy spoke as his own man free to chose where he would take the political dynasty that had been thrust upon him. He framed his philosophy in the same kind of soaring phrases which graced many of the major speeches given by his dead brothers, John and Robert.

But the message of the youngest of the Kennedy brothers sought to link the past with the future. ONE OBSERVER ON the convention floor, Kansas Gov. John Carlin, noted shortly before he spoke that Kennedy could "take a giant leap toward 1984" on the basis of what he said. After the speech, Carlin, a strong Carter was smiling and clapping as the happy head of the Kansas delegation. When the convention disbands, Kennedy will By ANDREW J.

GLASS Co Convention Bureau NEW YORK Try as he might, the Democrats never gave Ted Kennedy their votes. But after rejecting him as their presidential nominee, they relented Tuesday night and gave him their hearts. Assembled in convention, the delegates heard Kennedy deliver a rousing summons for party unity behind Democratic principles. They rewarded him with support on three key convention planks and a tumultuous, 40-minute outpouring of unabashed sentiment. There were tears among the staunch Kennedy supporters and cheers even from the Carter delegates, who waved Kennedy placards along with their rivals.

IN THAT DRAMATIC moment of political communion, all the waves of despair which had washed over the Kennedy forces ever since their champion had finally withdrawn his doomed challenge against Jimmy Carter were suddenly stilled. Even before the senator spoke, Robert Strauss, the Carter campaign chairman, predicted that "this will be Kennedy's night." He was right. A lot of what Kennedy had to say was aimed at Ronald Reagan, whom he skewered with a mixture of ridicule and righteous indignation. Kennedy: Tve come not to argue for a candidacy, but to affirm a cause" Even the Carter folks from Georgia cheered when Kennedy said that Reagan "has no right to quote Franklin Delano Roosevelt." With two critical exceptions, the Kennedy speech could easily have served as an acceptance address for a candidate who had just won the Democratic presidential nomination. The first exception came at the very start when Kennedy acknowledged he had come "not to argue for a candidacy, but to affirm a cause." The second exception came near the very end.

That was when Kennedy congratulated Mr. Carter for his convention victory without endorsing him. THEN KENNEDY EXPRESSED confidence that the Democrats "will reunite on the basis of Kennedy has proved here that he indeed has a cause a revitalized form of Democratic liberalism and an enthralled constituency.

"We obviously disagree with some of the things in the platform," said the President's press secretary, Jody Powell. "We will make clear where we disagree.

These issues are too important to agree to things we can't accept." While convention delegates took Mr. Carter's economic policies to the woodshed by adopting Kennedy-backed platform planks, there were signs that these setbacks might turn to Mr. Carter's political advantage in his quest for party unity. KENNEDY DELEGATES who had sulked bitterly after their failure to win the "open convention" rules fight the night before were in an upbeat mood after their platform victories, and many no longer were threatening to sit out the fall campaign. And the big question of the convention remained: Would Kennedy's all-out support follow his platform victories, achieved after the President's men avoided yet another battle and let the senator have his way? "That's a decision for him to make," Mr.

Carter See CARTER, Page S. By JIM RIPLEY Cox Convention Bureau NEW YORK Tuesday the Democratic National Convention was all Ted Kennedy's. But tonight belongs to Jimmy Cartec. The President was scheduled to arrive here today to watch the convention, probably on television from his room at the Sheraton Centre Hotel, as it awards him its ultimate prize renomination as the party's presidential candidate. But the prize comes only after Kennedy forces dealt him a series of severe setbacks on the platform and after his former foe mesmerized delegates with a powerful floor speech that inevitably will be used as a standard against which to measure his acceptance speech Thursday.

AFTER ATTENDING two receptions for delegates, Mr. Carter will turn to the difficult task of preparing a statement on the platform in which he must list his reservations to specific planks. By convention rule, the statement will be read during tonight's proceedings. His statement will list planks with which he does Of Scandal blotted career in 76 High point of his career?

"I did think I would run this time and then I didn't feel too good and then his (Applegate's) people were crying that he ought to be able to have at least three terms to be able to get the (government) pension," Hays said. "So I said, OK, and didn't run." HAYS WAS SHARPLY CRITICAL of Applegate, a former state senator. "He hasn't done a damn thing since he's been in there," Hays said.

"I don't think he should stay there indefinitely if he doesn't shape up. He's become more of a right winger than (Ronald) Reagan." His health, Hays said, is fine. He said if it remains "as good as it has the last six months," he probably will run for Congress. Hays said he has enjoyed his two years in the Ohio House, and termed the work "very relaxing."
