Yes, John Marchi from Staten Island who was running on the Republican line for mayor in 1969. Lindsay had been beaten by Marchi.
That's right, he beat Lindsay in the Republican primary, and he also had the nomination from the Conservative party.
Yes. And I said “So I cannot support Marchi because he's too conservative. I cannot tell anybody in good conscience to vote for Lindsay, because he doesn't deserve anybody going out and speaking for him, but I'm going to vote for him personally because there are no other choices available.” So that was carried in the New York Post I didn't say “support,” I said, “I'm going to vote for him.”
He had the Liberal party nomination and then I guess he had the independent line.
He had the independent line but he was carried on the Liberal party line.
What positions, if any, did you take relative to the contendors for the Democratic nomination that year, which I believe included Herman Badillo and then Wagner, Sr. got into it rather late again.
