Humphrey is known to be facing a financial squeeze in his California campaign, and McGovern is certain to outspend him by a wide margin. A new federal campaign finance law requires full disclosure of spending in the presidential primaries.
In San Diego Monday, McGovern said Humphrey is a former defender of U.S war policy in Vietnam who "now goes across this land posing as a convert to peace, and I don't intend to let him get away with it." He said that during the escalation of the war in the 1960s "there was no louder nor any more consistent, any more exuberant voice defending our policy," than that of Humphrey as vice president. Humphrey said night that while McGovern spoke out early against the war. he nonetheless voted to finance it. McGovern told the California Federation of Teachers that comparison of his record and Humphrey's was of the most shocking statements I have heard since I've been in Humphrey, in Fresno, renewed his critique of McGovern's position on welfare.

McGovern instead has proposed an income supplement program that would provide flat payments of perhaps $1,000 a year to all Americans. Humphrey has assailed that, too.
What it would cost is still in dispute. McGovern said in San Diego that his income redistribution plan might cost $20 billion to $27 billion, but he said that was Bombers Damage- and around the city.
