legislature, along
with
legislation
to
wipe
from the
books
laws
whichdiscriminate against
women.
Day
Care
-
Favors
it,
if
participation in
such
a
program
is
voluntary
-
not enforced
by the
state
or federal regulations under
partof
a
'workfare'
measure. He
feels
day
careshould
be
a
service
to liberate
mothers, not
a
narrowly
defined
program to
force women
into
low
paying
jobs at
the expense
of their
families.
Abortion
-
When
he
was
chairman
of
theHouse
Judiciary Committee,
Salmon helped
write
a strong
bill
to
liberalize
the
abortion
laws, then voted against
it.
He
says he
still
opposes
abortion, personally, but would
not
want
to
impose
his moral and
religious
beliefs
on
others.
He would
not
veto
a
liberalized
abortion
bill
if
passed
by
thelegislature.
Welfare
Reform
-
He
points
out
the
Republicans are using welfare problems
as
an issue
for
the
third
straight
election, and
in
four
years
of
a
Republican
administration haven't done anything about
it.
Luther
Hackett,
as
chairman of
the
Welfare Board,
and Attorney
General
James
Jeffords
were
both in positions
to help
solve
inequities,
but
didn't,
he says.
When
this
was
being
written,Salmon
was
preparing
a
statement
of
his
own
position
on welfare reform,
but
wasn't
ready
to
release
it.Women's
Liberation
-
If
there were
not
injustices
in
our
present laws
and
unwrittendiscrimination against women
in
the
job
market,
there
would
have been no
movementin
the
first
place.
Obviously
it
has
arisen
out
of
need
and
made aJl
of
us
aware that
inequities
do
indeed exist
within
our
system.
Let
me
say
what
the
Democratic
party
has
been
saying
nationwide
-
women are
theequals of men.
Period. Therefore,
I welcome
more
women
into
politics,
already have
a
woman
as
a
running
mate
(Constance Kite)
for
secretary of
state
and am
not
the
least
bit
shaken
at
the idea
of
a
woman governor
or
attorney
general.
Job
Opportunities
for
Women
-
He
would like
to
see
legislation
guaranteeing
equal
rights and
a
forceful
exposure
ofinequities
in
employment
opportunitiesbrought
to
the
attention offederal,
state,
and
local
government
officials.
\Vomenorganizing
for
political
power
is
probably
the most
viable method
of achieving
reform,
he
believes.
Salmon says
he
wilt
hiregovernment
officials
on
the
basis
of
their
qualifications,
without
consideration of
sex.
Salmon's campaign
staff
consists
of
two
women
and
a
man,
with
the
combinedsalaries
of
the two
women
slightly
higherthan
that of
the
man.
Vietnam
-
I
think
the
American
people
want the
war
ended
now.
I
don't
feel this
attitude
is
a
liability
to political
candidates
-
the feeling
is general
that
we
must
cease
the
fighting
and bombing and get our
boys
out of
there
and
let
the
Vietnamese
determine
their
own
future without
outsideinterference.
Our country lost
a
great
deal
of
prestige
and
our
domestic programs
havesuffered
greatly,
not
to
mention Americans
killed
in a
war
which
has divided
the
American
people more
than
any other single
issue
since
the
civil
war.
Act
25p as
it
relates
to
Common
Sense
Associatei.-
He doesn't buy
the
balance
rhetoric
of
the
Republican
administration,
which
he
says is
supposed
to allay
the fears
of both the
environmentalists
and
businessmen.
Talking about
balance now,
he says,
is
pretending
the
unbalanced
actions
of
the past never
took
place.
Where
can
you
draw
a
balance
in
Wilmington?
Where can
you
draw a
balance
in
Dover?
He
has
no
sympathy
at all for
Common
Sense
Associates,
the
businessmen's
groups
trying
to
soften
Act
250.
When
they
talk
about empty
bellies
-
it's
a
little
grotesque
to
hear Roland
Seward
or
Preston
Smithtalking about
empty bellies.
Their
concern
is
not
a legitimate
concern
for
jobs,
but
a
lust
for profit.
Leo Connor,
Democratic Candidate
for
lieutenant governor
The
Equal
Rights Amendment
-
Sure,by
all
means.
Abortion
-
Like
Salmon, he
has
deep
religious
feelings against
abortion,
butwould
not
attempt
to
impose
his
religiousand
moral
beliefs
on
others.Consumer
Rights
-
He
recognizes
that
he
is
a
consumer,
and
feels consumer rights
should
be expanded,
but
does
not
have
a
specific
program
in
this
area.
Welfare
Reform
-
He
feels the federalgovernment should
provide the
money
for
welfare,
but
the
program
should
be
operated
by
the
state,
which would
make
all
major
decisions on
administration.
He feels
therearen't
that
many
cheaters
on welfare,
and
that major
improvements
in
the
program
could
be
made
by
increasing training
programs
for
those who want
to work.
The
emphasis
in
training would
be
on
youngpeople,
in
an effort
to
break the
poverty
cycle.
Women's
Liberation
-
I
think
they'vecome
out
and spoken
their
piece,
and
hopethey
keep
it
up. There's
a
helluva
lot
of
talentthere, and
if
we
don't
get
it
out,
we're
only
hurting
ourselves.
He
would
have
noqualms about having
a
woman governor
or
attorney general,
or
a
woman supervisor,
if
she
were
well qualified
for
her
post. Womenaren't getting
equal
job
opportunities
now,he
says,
and
everything feasible
should
be
done
to
change
this.
On his campaign
staff
are
five
men and
three
women,

Abortion-

Consumer

-
His view
is
similar
to
Ralph
Nader's;
he
would
like
to
see
consumers
on
the
boards
of
all
major
corporations.
Welfare
Reform
-
The entire
welfare
program
should be
scrapped,
and
replaced
with
a
$6500
annual
minimum
income
for
a
family
of
four.
Poverty
is
obsolete,
and
should
not
be
allowed. Women's
Libe¡ation
-
A
manifestation
of
a
larger movement,
of
blacks, women, gaypeople, and others
demanding
control
overtheir
own
lives.
As
for
women in
politics,
he
points
out
he
has a
female
running mate
-
lly
Harter
-
and
that
the highest
vote
ever
for
a
Liberty Union
candidate was received
by Doris
Lake in
her
bid
for
Congress last
year.
Would he mind
having
a
woman
governor
or
attorney
general?
Are
you
serious?
As
for
working
under a woman'ssupervision,
he
points
out
he is
supervised
by
Liberty Union
Chairman
Martha
Abbott,
and
has
no objections. Women should
have
equal opportunities
for
top
governmental
and
industrial
j9bs,
but
he
would
not
support
somebôdy
just
because
she's
a
woman. Among
steps
he
would
like to
see
to
help
bring about
equal
pay
for
equal
work
would
be
raising the
minimum
wage
to $2.50
an hour.
