- Description:
- John Connally's presidential campaign will decline federal funds and rely on volunteer contributions. Connally believes that public financing of political campaigns limits free speech. He is gaining support in Iowa and Ohio, and is taking legal action to secure TV time for his campaign. In Dallas, some Democratic precinct chairmen have resigned to support Republican candidates. Campaign efforts are focused on media exposure and building a strong organization.
