To ask any major politician in either party today about
1976 presidential possibilities is not to stir even faint
enthusiasm.
It is fairly common, as late as the opening of a presidential
year, to hear surveyors of the field say, on one or both sides,
that "no one can be nominated." But there is an added
dimension of dismay this time. Something more than the pall
of Watergate is involved. A sense exists that the prospective
choices are too limited, both in number and in the range of
their promise.
On the Republican side, a field dominated today by old
faces — Nelson Rockefeller, Ronald Reagan and the bland
Vice President Gerald Ford — causes few flutters.
Among Democrats, Sen. Edward Kennedy arouses much
deep affection but also touches off deep fears (not the least
being that he won’t run). Sen. Henry Jackson, a 1972 bidder,
is already trying hard to position himself, but remembrance
of his earlier pallid field performance is strong in many
quarters. Other names pop up, but bring no light to the eyes.
Of one such prospect, whom I shall leave anonymous here,
a promised supporter said: “My young son has more drive
and will to achieve his goal than that man has.”
Scholar Donald Matthews of the University of Michigan
recently noted in a paper for Columbia’s American Assem-
bly that in the last third of a century only 62 Democrats and
. 47 Republicans have gained the support of one or more per
cent of their fellow partisans as presidential bidders. Ob-
viously, many of these were little more than token prospects.
At the Assembly’s December meeting on choosing presi-
dents, seasoned panelists agreed in a report that more
prospects should get into the act and urged that the early
stages of the “winnowing” process be made more competi-
tive.
Yet, somehow, as that urging was offered, the customary
feeling hung in the air that the field for the next run already
has a “narrow set,” and that the major nominees will be
picked from among presently mentioned names.
How to conduct the “systematic search” for other conten-
ders that was proposed? It is easier said than done. We
clearly need inventive new devices for ferreting out high
talent, not just from professional political ranks but from
other realms where achievement suggests presidential fit-
ness.
Quite instructive was a very long talk I had with Dr. For-
rest C. Pogue, the distinguished biographer of the late Gen.
George C. Marshall, probably America’s greatest modern
general and called by Winston Churchill the true “organizer
of victory” in World War II.
There is no doubt in my mind, from the record, that
Marshall s range of talents would have qualified him emi-
nently for the presidency. He was a man of broad scope, bal-
anced temperament, dogged will, superior intellect.
In 1916, when he was an Army captain who had just spent
some months putting trainees through maneuvering paces in
California, a superior officer was filling out a routine effi-
ciency report on the then 36-year-old Marshall. In answer to
the standard question whether the superior would like the
man to serve under his command, the officer wrote:
“Yes, but I would prefer to serve under his command.”
He labeled Marshall a “military genius,” urged he be
made a brigadier general immediately, and added “every
day this is postponed is a loss to the Army and the nation.”
Yet Marshall came within an ace of retiring before World
War II, and only when he assumed the top war command
were his remarkable abilities and his wide knowledge ap-
preciated by politicians, businessmen and others beyond his
own special field.

Ever come into contact with Potomac Fever?
More infectious than chicken pox and possessing a greater longevity than
malaria, that strange disease known as Potomac Fever has claimed many a
Congressman over the years. It seems that once a legislator has made Wash-
ington his stomping grounds, he is loath to leave it-even when voters retire
him.
Thus many ex-Congressmen crop up on Capitol Hill as lobbyists for
various interests after a defeat at the polls. According to The Wall Street
Journal, most Congressmen-tumed-lobbyists have two natural advantages:
a knowledge of the customs of Congress and, because of their privileges as
former lawmakers, easy access to the Congressmen themselves. They are
apparently more effective than competitors who have never served in
Congress.
Once the bureaucratic bug invades the bloodstream, it is hard to shake it.
This fact helps substantiate the fear that the federal government has a natural
tendency to grow, its ranks swelling each year with new legislators and
bureaucrats, not to mention the lobbyists who come to town to deal with
them.
Potomac Fever is a persistent malady!
