Political Notes: Who's for Whom
In New York, Governor Nelson Rockefeller won the support of Long Island's Newsday, largest suburban daily in the state (see THE PRESS), and the Amsterdam News, Harlem's most influential weekly.
>In Montana, the Miles City Star (circ. 4,000), noting that the New York Times (circ. 874,393) had endorsed Montana Democrat Lee Metcalf, whose U.S. Senate seat is being contested by Governor Tim Babcock, returned the compliment by urging New Yorkers to re-elect Nelson Rockefeller.
>Closer to home, the Times came out for Republican Senator Clifford Case of New Jersey, running for a third term, and Connecticut Republican E. Clayton Gengras, who is challenging Governor John Dempsey.
>In Massachusetts, the Boston Herald and the Harvard Crimson favored Republican Edward Brooke in his Senate race against former Governor Endicott Peabody.
> In Wisconsin, the traditionally liberal Milwaukee Journal urged re-election of Republican Governor Warren Knowles, who is being challenged by Democratic Lieutenant Governor Patrick Lucey.
