Elimination of Expensive
Political Conventions
WASHINGTON, Wi—Sen. Mike
Mansfield (D-Mont) suggested it
is time to consider elimination of
expensive national political con
ventions with all their “hoopla
and sign-waving shenanigans”
He proposed that both parties
look into the possibility of sub
stituting federally - financed pri
I maries to choose nominees for
1 President and Vice President. He
J also suggested possible federal
J financing for election campaigns.
I Mansfield, a vice chairman of
' the Democratic National Cornmit
! tee. said such a system would help
i to neutralize “the factor of money
in the nominating and electing
process” and give the people a
greater voice in elections.
