hubert humphrey had gone to the floor and forced a floor fight on the civil rights plank. the southern democrats were mad enough going into this convention. then hubert humphrey says, our plank on civil rights is not as strong as the republicans'! it's the same mush that we were pedalling in 1944. no, we need to move out of the shadow of states' rights into the bright sunlight of civil rights. and he forces a floor fight onto the floor of the convention, first one since prohibition, and he wins. he wins and the southern democrats, some of them, anyway, walk out. they walk out. the convention is just dragging into chaos. then when they announce harry truman is coming to the hall at 1:00 a.m., past any media notice that you could get, they unleash this, they open up this big floral display of the liberty bell because they're in philadelphia, and they fly out the doves of peace, which are all pigeons, actually, and they've been couped up for hours now and they see all the lights and the noise and the bands, and they just go crazy! and they're attacking things and flying into

northern liberals like hubert humphrey. big city bosses of chicago, jersey city. members of franklin d. roosevelt's family. all of them come together, and they want ike. they want to stampede the convention for ike. ike finally draws back and says, no, at the last minute. otherwise, it could have been eisenhower as the nominee and even as the president beating dewey, and he says no. not his year yet. he does become president that year, of columbia university. four years more for the presidency. so truman, truman is so bad. it's so bad at that convention. he gets on the phone and he's calling william o. douglas, the supreme court justice. will you be my vice president? why him? because william o. douglas is a guy who is respected by the old new dealers. he has to get back in good graces with that wing of the party. he's got to cement that tie to the new deal. and william o. douglas supposedly says i will not be a number two man to a number two man. and turns him down. so he takes albin barkley, the democratic leader of the senate, and you have a ticket which is bar

the same problem hubert humphrey had. he was looking for somebody who would be acceptable to labor, and urban ethnic catholic. eagleton fit that bill. and senator mcgovern's communications director called senator eagleton and said is there anything in your past we should know about that would disclose -- would disqualify you and he said no. ed in on this conversation in morristown, new jersey. >> good evening. senator mcgovern took up robert kennedy's banner and 78. how much support did mcgovern receive from the kennedy forces after he got the nomination? they campaigned enthusiastically for him. ted kennedy was very good about the whole 10 -- kennedy family and one senator eagleton was .ropped from the ticket he had strong support of the kennedy family. strongviewed as a very ally. robert kennedy had especially high regard for mcgovern. michael in ohio, you are next. >> this talk about the vice president and so on, it's just an example how messed up the whole scenario seemed to be but what i always wondered was how come

or hubert humphrey versus estes kefauver? a lot of question, and we're going to let newton minow, who was actively involved in the 1956 adlai stevenson campaign. mr. minow? >> certainly, kefauver didn't help. i don't know who would have helped given the fact that, again, president eisenhower was at the top of the ticket. but i think what richard said about kennedy was exactly correct. the opportunity to be at the convention and be seen as a vice presidential possibility introduced jack kennedy to the country, and i remember a few years later i saw him at a dinner, and i said, you know, we called him jack then. i said jack, if you're still interested, you could get the nomination for vice president next time. he looked at me and said vice president? vice president? i'm going to run for president. he was only 39 years old, but he had made up his mind. >> can i ask you -- the caller raises a point that i'm sure governor stevenson heard many times during his lifetime, this notion that he talked over the heads of people. what was

take us back to the 1968 convention when hubert humphrey gets the nomination and draw a clear connection for our viewers between this convention and 1972. >> this is when the antiwar movement is really starting to pick up steam. tois very frustrating president lyndon johnson, who is maintaining steam in vietnam. the antiwar activists start looking for an alternative to johnson, someone who will challenge him in the primaries. the only time a party tried to challenge a president with its own members was in 1912, with roosevelt. they wanted to quickly end the war and de-escalate in vietnam. mcgovern, and he declined. but senator mccarthy in minnesota decided to run as an antiwar candidate. surprised the political world as have -- by having a very strong showing against johnson. he did not win, but showed johnson that he was going to renomination.ime so johnson withdrew from the race. brother also entered the race. so they were going at it. at that point, the vice- president humphreys still supported the war of vice president johnson. deaf president often. president johnson. was her -- sena
