Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 12, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press thursday december 12, 1968 Choice stresses competence was a familiar face to the majority of the voters. The colourful controversial men in the gop the Nelson Rockefeller Ronald reagans and John Lindsay who might have brought admirers and enemies of their own to the administration were eliminated along the Way. Yet an examination of the biographies of those or. Nixon chose immediately refutes the notion that this is a group of political neuters. Each Cabinet designer in his area of operations has displayed a toughness of mind and character that must have commended him to a Man like or. Nixon who battled Back to the top against seemingly insuperable Odds himself. Their career lines Tell of defeats overcome handicaps of poverty or Lack of education surmounted. They represent a new Republican Era. Only three William p. Rogers Maurice h. Stans and John a. Volpe Are veterans of the Eisenhower administration. Their average age of 53 is hardly that of Callow youth yet it is Only six years older than the average age of John f. Kennedy s first Cabinet. The new Cabinet is traditional in its regional representation. Four posts went to easterners including As usual the Secretary of state and attorney general s jobs. Five slots went to the Midwest including the Secretary of agriculture. The West won two places including the Interior Secretary ship which or. Nixon had considered for a time giving to Maryland rep. Rogers c. B. Morton. It is interesting to note in Light of All that has been said about or. Nixon s Southern strategy and his supposed debt to sen. Strom Thurmond Republican South Carolina and other Dixie backers that Only one southerner made it to the Cabinet. And that Man Winton a Blount is a longtime Republican fund Raiser who helped finance the gop gubernatorial Campaign against George Wallace s wife in Alabama. William p. Rogers the former attorney general picked by Nixon to head the state department is the same Man who was not allowed to leave or. Nixon s Campaign plane in sen. Thurmond s South Carolina in 1960, so offensive was he to southerners because of his role in the Little Rock continued coming soon ii til in in i ii 11 in i n school desegregation d i s Pute. Or. Nixon s choices indicated that As usual some political debt paying was involved. H i s Campaign manager John Mitchell and his chief fund Raiser stans were both found worthy of inclusion As were such other pre convention supporters As gov. Volpe. And gov. Walter j. Hickel. The 12 men who survived the screening were not by any stretch of the imagination the 12 men that political reporters would have listed As the biggest donors of advice or Energy or Cash to the Nixon Campaign. Ideologically the first Reading on. The Cabinet Indi Cates a preponderance of j strength for progressive or what general Eisenhower liked to Call modern republicanism. Or. Stans a conservative even in the Eisenhower lineup is probably the most hidebound in bus philosophy but his influence especially from the relatively impotent Commerce depart ment is Likely to be outweighed by the three governors and two Educa tors who head the other Domestic departments. Gov. Romney and gov. Volpe took the political risk of raising taxes in their Home states to meet rising de mands for governmental services. The political activists May even find an ally in Treasury Secretary David Kennedy whose counterpart in the Eisenhower Cabinet the formidable George Humphrey managed to throttle most Domestic spending schemes. Or. Ken Nedy s reputation As or. Nixon noted is that of a Man whose midwestern conservatism is balanced by a Strong humanitarian Streak. The balance of Domestic issues May be determined by the two men closest personally to or. Nixon Robert h. Finch and or. Mitchell. As lieutenant governor of California or. Finch was a Liberal in fluence in the conservative Reagan administration con stantly reminding the e conomy minded governor of the Urban and educational needs of his expanding state. Or. Mitchell though reticent in enunciating his views is regarded As a Tough minded conservative. The Power alignments in the Nixon Cabinet remain to be established. It will be important for instance whether the pragmatic conservative rep. Melvin r. Laird busies himself with the defence department or tries to dictate political and legislative strategy As Well.
