CAMPAIGN '68
It seems both logical and essential to review
the status and forward planning of the '68 Campaign in
light of the Kennedy assassination.
Is it really essential to the American political
process to press on with campaigning as usual -- while
pretending to ignore some of the cold realities of
the day?
There has long been a plaintive cry from many
quarters that the ballyhoo and whoopla of an American
campaign -- extended over months -- confuses rather than
clarifies the choice in the mind of the voter. Thus,
even without today's new dangers, a strong argument might
be made for a radically revised approach to the process
of presenting the case to the people.
While the latest assassination does not in any way
prove that America is a sick society -- it does re-affirm
the fact that passions run high and in some instances
restraint and responsibility are lacking. There is a
clear and present personal physical danger to any man
campaigning for the office of the Presidency whenever he
presents himself to an unrestricted large crowd -- at a
rally, in a motorcade, moving through public areas on an
announced route. This danger will increase as the intensity
- 2 -
of the campaign increases.
There is good basis for the argument that it is
irresponsible for the President or the candidates for
President to expose themselves in these ways. If this
case were presented to the people in proper fashion, it
is quite likely they would understand and agree.
The people must be deeply concerned by the problem
of violence and could be expected to respond with reief
and willing acceptance to a plan designed to avoid any
further calamities -- or at least, to lessen the risk.
The plan would be for the President and/or the
Secret Service to request formally that all candidates
for Presidential nominations -- and, after the conventions,
all candidates for the Presidency -- agree to conform to
a number of specific guidelines regarding method of cam-
paigning. It would be made clear that no restriction or
compromise would be placed on content -- only on form.
Candidates would not present themselves to large
masses of people in person. They would, instead, utilize
the mass communications media to carry their messages to
the voters. Many techniques could be used for this -- in-
cluding direct speeches, telethons, televised press con-
ferences, televised coffee hours with small groups of rep-
resentative voters, televised interviews of all kinds,
documentary-type presentations, use of third-person advocates,
- 3 -
and undoubtedly many more approaches which would come
to mind.
Eliminated would be all rallies, large public
functions, press-the-flesh campaign techniques, plung-
ing through crowds, whistle-and-prop-stops.
This would not eliminate the possibility of
assassination or violence -- but it would be greatly
reduced because, in effect, the campaign would be con-
ducted in individual living rooms instead of at public
gatherings.
For the candidates, the campaign would become
more demanding mentally and much less demanding physically.
This should have the effect of raising the quality of
the political dialogue.
Many potential problems arise, of course. The
main one would be the question of allocation or purchase
of TV and radio time. Even this could be fairly easily
resolved 1f it were not for the Wallace problem.
It will be argued that this puts all the emphasis
on a candidate's ability to perform on TV -- and elim-
inates the opportunity to judge him through personal in-
the-flesh exposure. This is not a valid objection because
it assumes that the voter now does, in fact, judge the
candidate on the basis of personal exposure. Clearly,
this is not the case. It is obviously impossible for any
- 4 -
meaningful proportion of the voters to come into personal
contact with a national candidate during the course of a
campaign. It's also obvious that a very large majority
of those who do have personal exposure -- at rallies, etc. --
are already committed and thus are not judging the candidate.
Other than tradition, there is no sound reason for
putting a man considered to be of presidential timber
through the physical strain and personal danger of the
old-time format. It should be recognized that times have
changed -- and that the presentation of presidential
candidates must change, too.
This is the ideal time to make some major changes
that are badly needed even without the consideration of
danger of violence. The people must be fed up with politics
as usual accompanied by terror. They would welcome some
leadership in this area -- as well as in all the others
that are the issue focal points of this election.

SUMMARY
From Labor Day through November 5th, the
Surrogate Candidates have devoted a total of 96 campaigning
days in behalf of the Nixon/Agnew ticket, appearing in 31
states and the District of Columbia. Most of the effort,
however, has been devot ed to appearances in the 8 battle
ground "Big States", and the 6 key "Border States". Fifty-six
days, or 60 percent of the time was spent in the former group
(California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Texas), which have a total of 227 electoral
votes. An additional 9 days, or 10 percent of the time was
spent in the latter group (Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia). The Surrogates also par-
ticipated in a great number of fund-raising affairs and cam-
paign rallies around the country.
In addition to the activities of the Surrogate
Candidate's program, the Surrogates, as individuals, par-
ticipated in a great number of activities on behalf of the
Nixon/Agnew ticket which do not appear in this memorandum.
They include participation in the Truth Squad, the Key Issues
Committee, TV advertising appearances with the candidate,
and campaigning within their own districts.

Not\nscanned.\nFriday, March 07, 2008\nPage 1 of 1\nCAMPAIGN '68\nIt seems both logical and essential to review\nthe status and forward planning of the '68 Campaign in\nlight of the Kennedy assassination.\nIs it really essential to the American political\nprocess to press on with campaigning as usual -- while\npretending to ignore some of the cold realities of\nthe day?\nThere has long been a plaintive cry from many\nquarters that the ballyhoo and whoopla of an American\ncampaign -- extended over months -- confuses rather than\nclarifies the choice in the mind of the voter. Thus,\neven without today's new dangers, a strong argument might\nbe made for a radically revised approach to the process\nof presenting the case to the people.\nWhile the latest assassination does not in any way\nprove that America is a sick society -- it does re-affirm\nthe fact that passions run high and in some instances\nrestraint and responsibility are lacking. There is a\nclear and present personal physical danger to any man\ncampaigning for the office of the Presidency whenever he\npresents himself to an unrestricted large crowd -- at a\nrally, in a motorcade, moving through public areas on an\nannounced route. This danger will increase as the intensity\n- 2 -\nof the campaign increases.\nThere is good basis for the argument that it is\nirresponsible for the President or the candidates for\nPresident to expose themselves in these ways. If this\ncase were presented to the people in proper fashion, it\nis quite likely they would understand and agree.\nThe people must be deeply concerned by the problem\nof violence and could be expected to respond with reief\nand willing acceptance to a plan designed to avoid any\nfurther calamities -- or at least, to lessen the risk.\nThe plan would be for the President and/or the\nSecret Service to request formally that all candidates\nfor Presidential nominations -- and, after the conventions,\nall candidates for the Presidency -- agree to conform to\na number of specific guidelines regarding method of cam-\npaigning. It would be made clear that no restriction or\ncompromise would be placed on content -- only on form.\nCandidates would not present themselves to large\nmasses of people in person. They would, instead, utilize\nthe mass communications media to carry their messages to\nthe voters. Many techniques could be used for this -- in-\ncluding direct speeches, telethons, televised press con-\nferences, televised coffee hours with small groups of rep-\nresentative voters, televised interviews of all kinds,\ndocumentary-type presentations, use of third-person advocates,\n- 3 -\nand undoubtedly many more approaches which would come\nto mind.\nEliminated would be all rallies, large public\nfunctions, press-the-flesh campaign techniques, plung-\ning through crowds, whistle-and-prop-stops.\nThis would not eliminate the possibility of\nassassination or violence -- but it would be greatly\nreduced because, in effect, the campaign would be con-\nducted in individual living rooms instead of at public\ngatherings.\nFor the candidates, the campaign would become\nmore demanding mentally and much less demanding physically.\nThis should have the effect of raising the quality of\nthe political dialogue.\nMany potential problems arise, of course. The\nmain one would be the question of allocation or purchase\nof TV and radio time. Even this could be fairly easily\nresolved 1f it were not for the Wallace problem.\nIt will be argued that this puts all the emphasis\non a candidate's ability to perform on TV -- and elim-\ninates the opportunity to judge him through personal in-\nthe-flesh exposure. This is not a valid objection because\nit assumes that the voter now does, in fact, judge the\ncandidate on the basis of personal exposure. Clearly,\nthis is not the case. It is obviously impossible for any\n- 4 -\nmeaningful proportion of the voters to come into personal\ncontact with a national candidate during the course of a\ncampaign. It's also obvious that a very large majority\nof those who do have personal exposure -- at rallies, etc. --\nare already committed and thus are not judging the candidate.\nOther than tradition, there is no sound reason for\nputting a man considered to be of presidential timber\nthrough the physical strain and personal danger of the\nold-time format. It should be recognized that times have\nchanged -- and that the presentation of presidential\ncandidates must change, too.\nThis is the ideal time to make some major changes\nthat are badly needed even without the consideration of\ndanger of violence. The people must be fed up with politics\nas usual accompanied by terror. They would welcome some\nleadership in this area -- as well as in all the others\nthat are the issue focal points of this election.\nH.R.
