Nixon. All but a handful of the Republican advisers and party leaders the governor had consulted Over the weeks were anticipating he would announce some form of Active candidacy. His announcement came As a total Surprise. Gov Rockefeller s voice was steady and Crisp As he explained that it was Clear at this time that a considerable majority of the party s leaders want the candidacy of former vice president Richard Nixon and it appears equally Clear that they Are keenly concerned and anxious to avoid any such divisive Challenge within the party As marked the 1964 gov. Rockefeller continued it would therefore be illogical and unreasonable for me to try to arouse their support by pursuing the course of action r Why Gamble rest easy with Safe Oil heat the Winnipeg Supply fuel co.

Asked whether he would support another moderate against or. Nixon gov. Rocke Feller answered i think there Are a great Many Young and coming stars in the Republican Galaxy and i m delighted if any of them would like to see the would like to get into in the View of some republicans gov. Rockefeller s withdrawal leaves a vacuum that could be filled by another moderate such As new York mayor John v. Lindsay or sen. Charles Percy of Illinois. Or. Nixon 1 e a v i n g la. Guardia Airport two hours after the Rockefeller conference to resume campaigning in Wisconsin also said a draft move was not Likely to develop unless i make some serious obviously pleased at what he called a Surprise turn of events or. Nixon said he was confident he would be Nomin ated. But he told was not ready to claim we be got it wrapped gov. Rockefeller made it Clear at thursday s news con Ference that his withdrawal was based largely on the political reality that there was not sufficient momentum within the party to support his candidacy. Asked whether his statement could be interpreted As the articles of surrender by the Republican moderates he an swered i Don t know whether pundits Are supposed to be realistic or not but if they Are then i would t Call this a surrender i would Call it a realistic appraisal of the Situa Tion and a dedication to the Best interests of our country in the in this gov. Rockefeller was being consistent with the Posi Tion he took at the beginning of this month when Michigan gov. George Romney dropped out of the race against or. Nixon. At the time gov. Rockefeller said he would become an Active candidate Only if the tarty demonstrated unequivocally that it wanted him. Nixon too hard to beat Royal Marine rums rate a 21-gun Salute. Each has the distinctive flags on the Label. Light or dark Royal Marine the Flag rums. By David s. Broder new York special tons when Nelson Rocke Feller s men added up the reports from around the country last weekend they came to exactly the same conclusion that Richard Nixon s Field generals had reached a week before. Gov. Rockefeller might be Able to heat or. Nixon in the May 28 Oregon primary but or. Nixon would still go on to win the Republican presidential nomination. Only a landslide Rockefeller Victory of proportions no one in either Camp could foresee or a coordinated offensive by gov. Rockefeller and California gov. Ronald Reagan that left or. Nixon a third place finisher in Oregon could keep the Republican Dele Gates from picking or. Nixon. That political judgment meshed with warnings to gov. Rockefeller from friends in Washington and the West that no one could prevent the Campaign against him from becoming rough and personal. The result was the decision that surprised the nation thursday and All but handed the Republican nomination to or. Nixon. Today or. Nixon holds the Republican nomination within his grasp and a Prospect that would have seemed incomprehensible even 10 Days ago that the democratic convention will hold More drama than the Republican is now a virtual certainty. As in 1960 and 1964, the Liberal republicans were victims of their own myths and misconceptions despite the expensive lessons of disunity they supposedly Learned from Barry Goldwater s nomination Victory the liberals ailed to pledge their support to their strongest Prospect. Gov. Rockefeller and Rhode Island gov. John h. Chafee gave Early endorsements to Michigan gov. George Romney the Moder ate Republican s biggest Winner of 1966 but others held Back. The ineptitude of gov. Romney s campaigning in 1967 made others wary of backing him. As he floundered the belief was spread by Republic ans who were not part of the 1964 debacle men like gov. Spiro t. Agnew of Maryland and gov. Tom Mccall of Oregon that a stronger candidate gov. Rockefeller was waiting in the wings As soon As gov. Romney made his inevitable exit. Just Why an easterner gov. Rockefeller who had won re election by smaller margins in each successive Campaign who had been badly scarred by his role in the bitterest Intra party Battle in a generation and who had figured in a spectacular divorce and remarriage was regarded As a stronger candid ate than a Middle Westerner gov. Romney whose election margins kept increasing who had Strong religious and Geo graphic ties to the conservative West and whose personal life was exemplary this was never Clear. But gov. Romney floundered and dropped out unexpectedly late last month giving the Rockefeller enthusiasts the Chance they had been waiting for. It quickly became apparent that the Liberal republicans had been kidding themselves about his strength. Instead of the 17 or 18 of 26 Republican governors they claimed were in his Camp exactly six came to the first major meeting on his prospective candidacy. Instead of the 25 senators of 36 supposed to be favourable to him 17 came to meet him for breakfast and five of the 17 told him to his face that they were for or. Nixon. By Early this week it was apparent to gov., Rockefeller As it was to such practical minded supporters o f his As sen Thruston b. Morton of Kentucky that it would be As sen Morton impossible for him to win. But sen. Morton urged gov. Rockefeller to run anyway in order to increase the liberals bargaining Power at the Conven Tion on platform issues and the Choice of a running mate for or. Nixon. Gov. Rockefeller refused according to friends Here for two personal reasons. The bitter primaries of 1964, the booing of his appearance at the cow Palace and the continuing accusations from the conserva Tives that he was to blame for Barry Goldwater s rout had made him gun shy. Gov. Rocke Feller does not regard or. Nixon As a menace to Republican principles and remarked to one group been accused of dividing the party before and i Don t want it thrown in my face the second of the compelling personal reasons sen. Morton said had dictated gov. Rockefeller s decision was his desire to protect himself his wife Happy and their two Young children from what he anticipated would be a Savage counter attack from unforgiving conservatives. Despite or. Nixon s personal assurances that he would Wel come gov. Rockefeller into the primaries and work with him to keep the debate on the issues associates of the governors said he was aware that personal rumours were already being circulated. Gov. Decided that no one could keep the underground whispers from sur facing if he became an Active candidate. Such a Campaign he decided would be at the opposite pole from the reasonable discussion of issues he wants in the Republican party and to which he said he would devote his energies.
