The similarities are striking. A Republican President was half­ way through his first term, having defeated a non-incumbent Democrat two year s earlier in the midst of a limited war in Asia. By means of a successful peace initiative, the Republicans had turned the war into a non-controversial issue. But the economy was in a mild recession, and Republicans understandably tried to deflect the focus to other matters. The Vice President, campaigning in the West, charged that incumbent Democratic Senators were "almost without exception members of the Democratic party1s left-wing clique which••• has tolerated the Communist conspiracy in the United States.

As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political .

SOUTHERN STRATEGIES The 1970 Election for the United States Senate in Virginia by James R. Sweeney* While feminists marched in protest outside the Statler Hilton on the evening of 14 March 1970, President Richard M. Nixon, Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew, and Virginia's senior senator, Harry F. Byrd, Jr., attended the men-only annual banquet of the exclusive Gridiron Club, a group of fifty of Washington's most prominent male newspaper correspondents. The 500 guests enjoyed an evening of off-the-record speeches, satirical musical skits, and quite unexpected piano duets by Nixon and Agnew that "stole the show." As he was leaving, the president stopped at Senator Byrd's table and said, "Harry, I think it's about time for us to discuss Okinawa." Those who overheard assumed that Nixon was referring to the administration's plan to give the island of Okinawa back to Japan, a proposal that Byrd opposed.
