Ladies and Gentlemen:
Every four years the United States demonstrates to the world
that in a democratic way our Republican form of government can survive
the stress and strain of a presidential compaign, of a real internal
battle, of a genuine family fight. The final bout comes in November
with the semi-finals or preliminaries scheduled for July and August.
The August Democratic show promises to be a dull affair. There is
hardly sufficient interest to sustain TV coverage for three days.
Suspense may be generated by the preliminary Bobby Kennedy-Nubert Mumphrey
bout if their handlers can be stimulated and encouraged to continue the
sparring, the shadow boxing, until sero hour. I suspect however, that
the "boss" in the big White House on Pannsylvania Avenue will make the
final decision before the contenders strip for the fray, and put on the
gloves.
But in July we expect a championship performance by the Grand
Old Party. The principals are in tip-top shape; their handlers in each
corner are enthusiastic and determined. The nation-vide autidnes will be
treated to an honest fight; a strongly-contedded fight but a fair one,
with a majority of the delegates making the final decision. The issues
will be debated; some personalities will be battered and bruised, but
the vinner will come out smiling.
Tonight we are privileged to have with us one of our principal
contenders. Some say he is a bit bruised along with others from a recent
bout in New Hampshire but this has not preventedhin from taking laws

across the continent into the State of California Accustomed to Jut-
speed flight; frained in the pracideal work-a-day world of our competitive
free enterprise system, conditioned by years of service in the U. S.
Senate, he comes into the ring seasoned and effective.
So in our corner tonight, ladies and gentlemen, wearing a grey
suit with a grey necktie, just in from Washington, we have a highly respected
challenger, a man of principle, a forceful contender. A devoted champion of
and B. real scrapper for the American vay of life, a living example of how
our political system works. Here is a man who doesn't mind the heat in
the kitchen. On many occasions he can and does produce more than a little
heat himself. Senator Barry Goldwater is highly qualified to address the
Economic Club of Detroit. It is a distinct privilege and pleasure to present
my courageous and able colleague and warm personal friend, Senator Goldwater
of Arizona.

with the semi-finals or preliminaries scheduled for July and August.

Suspense may be generated by the preliminary Bobby Kennedy-Hubert Humphrey
bout if their handlers can be stimulated and encouraged to continue the
sparring, the shadow boxing, until zero hour. I suspect however, that
the "boss" in the big White House on Pennsylvania Avenue will make the
final decision before the contenders strip for the fray, and put on the
