FRAGILE PRESIDENCY IN 1964, LYNDON JOHNSON WAS ELECTED IN HIS OWN RIGHT BY WINNING 44 STATES. IN 1968, HE CHOSE NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION AS HE SANK INTO THE QUAGMIRE OF VIETNAM. IN 1972, RICHARD NIXON CAPTURED 49 STATES ON HIS WAY TO CAPTURING A SECOND TERM. TWO YEARS LATER, HE LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE DISGRACED OVER WATERGATE. IN 1984, RONALD REAGAN ALSO CARRIED 49 STATES AS HE WON A SECOND TERM. TWO YEARS LATER, HIS PRESIDENCY IS PRACTICALLY PARALYZED BY SCANDAL. THE PRESIDENCY IS THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL OFFICE IN THE WORLD. WHEN WILL THESE HIGH MINDED POLITICIANS REALIZE THAT IT IS ALSO THE MOST FRAGILE? DANIEL HELPINGSTINE MERRILLVILLE

DEMOCRATS IN 2 STATES GET ULTIMATUMS ON VOTES MINNEAPOLIS -- THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS TOLD THE MINNESOTA AND SOUTH DAKOTA COMMITTEES THAT THEY WILL NOT BE SEATED AT THE PARTY'S CONVENTION NEXT SUMMER UNLESS THEY CHANGE THE DATE OF THEIR FEB. 23 PRECINCT CAUCUSES AND PRIMARIES. ''IT CONFIRMS OUR WORST FEARS THAT THEY WOULD COME DOWN WITH REAL HARD SANCTIONS,'' SAID RUTH ESALA, CHAIRWOMAN OF THE MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC-FARMER-LABOR PARTY, AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON MONDAY. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE COMMISSION ORDERED THE STATE PARTY TO CHANGE THE CAUCUS DATE BY NOV. 5, AND, ''SHORT OF A LEGISLATIVE CHANGE, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN,'' ESALA SAID. JIM ROBINSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SAID HE DOUBTED THAT THE NATIONAL PARTY WOULD INDEED BAR THE STATE'S DELEGATES, THOUGH HE ADDED THAT THE DELEGATES PROBABLY WILL NOT GET THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE. ''FROM INDICATIONS I'VE GOTTEN FROM THE NATIONAL PRESS, IT PROBABLY MEANS THAT SOUTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA DELEGATIONS ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES ON TV THE MOST, WITH THE MOST ATTENTION,'' ROBINSON SAID. ESALA AND ROBINSON RECEIVED LETTERS FROM THE COMMISSION MONDAY LISTING PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL PARTY RULES. THE COMMISSION SAID DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTION IN ATLANTA NEXT JULY WILL NOT BE SEATED IF THE STATES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ORDER. LEGISLATURES IN BOTH STATES SET THE MINNESOTA PRECINCT CAUCUS DATE AND SOUTH DAKOTA PRIMARY DATE FOR BOTH PARTIES. UNDER NATIONAL PARTY RULES, THE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION PROCESS MAY NOT START BEFORE MARCH 8, 1988, BUT SEVERAL STATES, INCLUDING IOWA, HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN GRANTED EXEMPTIONS. THE SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATIC PARTY SENT THE NATIONAL PARTY A REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION. ROBINSON NOTED THAT THE CONVENTION DELEGATES, NOT THE COMMITTEE, DETERMINE WHO GETS SEATED. ROBINSON AND ESALA ALSO SAID REPRESENTATIVES WILL APPEAR BEFORE THE COMPLAINCE COMMISSION NEXT MONTH TO ASK FOR EXEMPTIONS, BUT ESALA SAID SHE WAS NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE RESPONSE.
