  • In a personal letter to the author, which accompanied the manuscript copies, Thompson indicated that there were even more speeches delivered by Agnew during this time period and that more could be secured if necessary. Personal letter from Herbert L. Thompson, Assistant to the Vice President, dated January 25, 1971. The majority of the manuscripts received were photocopies of typescript, some photocopies of Agnew's “reading copies” which were in larger than usual typescript, and some photocopies of speeches printed in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
  • The source for the list from which the sample was drawn appears in the NEW YORK TIMES ENCYCLOPEDIC ALMANAC OF 1970, p. 489. The author wished to thank Miss Irene Hess and Professor John R. Robinson of the Sur‐vev Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, for their assistance in the sampling procedures for this study. The political affiliation was based on the quadrennial poll of newspapers conducted by EDITOR & PUBLISHER, November 2, 1968, pp. 9–12. In terms of the present study, this particular poll was of obvious interest, but it is interesting to note the relative consistency of the political affiliation over a period of several presidential elections.
