As of now, he will arrive sometime on the afternoon of the 27th and will depart on the 30th. As we did in Santa Barbara, you should make the necessary arrangements to fly Manolo there a day or so early to make sure every- thing is in order. Concerning telephones, the following arrange- ments should be made: In Senator Smather's home and in Bebe Rebozo's home please instruct your people to install one telephone containing 2 private lines. The lines that run to the Senator's home and those to Bebe Rebozo's home should be set up so that they will ring simultaneously at both places. is. they should be the same liner at both location At the Key Biscayne Hotel, please hold RN's villa and install in it 3 phones with 3 PL's in rotation. They should have extremely long cords and not ring in the villa. Please hold Villa 39 or 40 for Bob Haldeman and Dwight Chapin. In their villa, please install 2 instruments that contain the same lines that are installed in RN's villa. In addition, there should be an intercom between RN's villa and the Haldeman-Chapin villa. The Haldeman-Cha- pin phones should also be on extremely long cords. Concerning cars, Manolo, Haldeman and Chapin should each have a car. We're not sure yet just who will be going to Key Biscayne and therefore can't make any other assignments at this time. For details concerning the Smathers home, contact Bebe Rebozo and he will fill you in. Regards from sunny Cleveland.

KIN 152 New York, New York HOLTEN FEEL This why RN Heprobally rememisers NOT This Dear Dick: HOT ON NOR FOOK John Whitaker has told me that you probably prefer Richmond, rather than Norfolk, for one of your appearances in Virginia. I consider Norfolk a must because: 1. You need to gain some affirmative votes in Virginia somewhere, because the split caused by the Wallace candidacy could cause you to end up with less than Humphrey's block of Regro-Regular Democrat votes. 2. It's going to be extremely difficult for you to gain anything in Richmond; you can't make a pitch there for Negro vote, and your previous appearances there will produce a maximum vote for you there without another visit. 3. You can gain substantially in Norfolk. Your vote there in 1960 was only 40% of the total vote, which leaves room for improvement. They are now very friendly to you, as evidenced by the 700 people who paid to have breakfast with you there in 1965. There has since been a very serious split in the Democratic Party, all of which benefits you. 4. They have an excellent meeting place, in the open air, within two and one-half blocks of all of the big downtown con- centration of people. A noontime appearance, barring bad weather, would draw a tremendous crowd. 5. There is greater television coverage, to a larger metro- politan area, in Norfolk than in Richmond. 6. The Negro votes are much better organized in Richmond, SO the possibility (though slight) of any adverse demonstrations would be greater in Richmond than in Norfolk. Honorable Richard M. Nixon Page 2 September 13, 1968 7. The whole "establishment" in Norfolk is anxious to move heaven and earth for you. I observed this there on a visit yesterday which put me in touch with substantially all of the top leadership. Best regards. Cordially Lin yours, Linwood Holton ALHJr/hat September 10, 1968 Memo to: Peter Flanigan From: Bob Haldeman The attached letter from the Baldwin Company is self-explanatory. It is my understanding that you will contact Archbishop Cook to determine where he would like the organ delivered and will then contact Mr. Mooter to give him the proper instructions. After this is done, a letter for RN's signature should be drafted and sent to Lucien Wulsin, President of Baldwin, thanking him for the organ and telling him where we are sending it. Thanks very much for handling this. September 10, 1968 Mr. John W. Smock Smock/Waddell, Inc.

The parade and reception looked good and save for a few hippie types in the crowd, the audience was very enthusiastic. I've always been a bit embarrassed about my poor performance when I worked briefly for the Nixon governor cempaign in 1960 but I have never wavered in my support for him or his principles. I guess I never should have taken the job of asst. news secretary in the first place. After being 2 reporter and political reporter for about 6 years, it was impossible for me to turn full circle and become a political aide. For the past LL years I've been teaching here at USC in the journalism school. We'd certainly like to get Nixon on campus senstime before Nov. 1.00 I'm a member of the faculty forum which decides who speaks to the students. Could you please pass this on to your scheduling ffice? If there is anything Icean do to help you at USC please let me know. Sincerely, Dane David C. Henloy September 10, 1968 Memo to: Murray Chotiner From: Bob Haldeman Re: Counter Attack DETERMINED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE MARKING E.O. 12356, Section 1.1 By RJP NARS, Date 4/6/87 VENFIDENTIAL When you come back and take over the day to day supervision of the counter-attack operation RN also wants to be sure that you put major em- phasis also on the area of television, having shmeone monitowrradio and television, especially the networks and be sure that we are responding to both good and bad treatment and that we're doing it right after it happens. Pat Hitt has set up some operation in this area; Herb Klein has been involved in it, and I understand there has been some effort towards Catizens act@vities in this direction but in reviewing it, thwre is no coordination or thought-through plan. RN also would like from you a weekly report at the end of each week, summarizing the general activity of the counter-attack operation. That is, a run-down on who has answered whom about what, and when. He feels it is important for him to be currently aware of counter-attack activity because there will obviously be some times when he should also get into the act, although it is his thought that at present at least, this should be kept to a minimum. Needless to say, he at the present time, puts the highest priority on this particular actovity and hopes that you will devote the necessary time and attention to it to make sure that the people assigned really produce. As one last thought, our friend suggested the phrase, "Slap Happy Hubert" as being one that might be helpful. Handle that as you will. P.S. RN also suggested that you might be able to effectively use Earl Mazo or Ralph DeToledano to prepare material for use by the people engaged in counter-attack. It's my understanding that Ralph is working on a book, and not available full time, but perhaps he could help from time to time from his home. Earl could probably be brought to New York and based right here in the office to handle this, if you wanted him to do it. 11. 100.18 OHI KARL E.

This is to urge you to seriously reconsider your position on stopping in South Dakota, especially in Sioux Falls, for a noon airport stop with a parade and then leaving you with the opportunity to proceed to one of the other states for an evening engagement. There are several reasons, which I am going to list below, why I believe you should make every effort to include South Dakota on your list of states for a campaign visit in the coming weeks. (1) Vice President Humphrey is speaking in South Dakota on September 19 to the Western Power and Water Conference. He will have a wide listening audience from REA and farm groups at this conference, and this will give him an opportunity to expose himself on his farm policy as well as to emphasize the fact that he is a South Dakota native and that South Dakota should support his candidacy. (2) We have a very difficult Senate race in South Dakota, as you know. Archie Gubbrud, who chaired the Nixon delegation to the National Convention which supported you 100 percent, is engaged in a very close and tough fight with the incumbent Democrat, George McGovern. Your appearance could make the difference between victory and defeat. (3) Ao I understand it, you have indicated that you thought I could handle the carrying of the State of South Dakota for your candidacy. May I say that I am deeply humbled by your confidence in my vote-getting ability for you in the coming election. However, with Congress in session Honorable Richard Nixon -2. September 10, 1968 until mid-October or later and with the assignment that I have to spend some time on the Truth Squad and with any other engagements that may come up for me, I find my time is going to be limited in what I can do in South Dakota, Therefore, Dick, it is going to be almost impossible for me to make a complete tour of the State in behalf of your election to the Presidency, and this I believe implements the need for you to make a noon-time stop in Sioux Falls where you can get wide television and press coverage not only of South Dakota but also of Minnesota, (4) Archie Gubbrud has been campaigning with the fact that he can work closely with you as a sitting Senator and do more for South Dakota than can George McGovern who is a Democrat and who opposed the nomination of Humphrey. If you do not come and support his can- didacy, based on this campaign fact and also the fact that he chaired your delegation, it is going to be embarrassing for him. Further, Dick, in view of the fact that it is known all over South Dakota of my close relationship with you, that I have worked with you in previous campaigns, that we have been close friends for many years, and that I am serving as your advisor in agriculture and natural resources, it is going to be difficult for me to explain to the Republican hierarchy and workers in South Dakota the fact that you missed our State in your campaign effort. 1 recognize that we have very few electoral votes, but 1 do not believe you can completely eliminate the {casibility of campaigning in Midwest states where there are difficult Senate races. After all, we need the seats in the Senate if we are going to implement the program which you hope to place in effect once you are firmly installed in the White House come next January 20, and I am completely convinced you will be the victor. We are not asking much - only a mid-day stop and, if possible, A noon-time stop at Sioux Falls with a parade down the main street and is speech, and then you can be on your way. We realize that we cannot ask for your time in any evening rally. In Sioux Falls we can give you statewide television coverage, statewide radio coverage, and statewide press coverage. Also, in Sioux Falls you will be in the heart of the most heavily populated area of South Dakota. Further, the television coverage from Sioux Falls goes into southern Minnesota and into lowa. Thus, you have the advan- tage of speaking to an audience of more than one state. 1 cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that since Hubert Humphrey was born in South Dakota and still owns the family drug store in Huron, there is a growing and disconcerting tendency on the part of many South Dakotans to let "State Pride" overcome their political impulses just as in Honorable Richard Nixon -3- September 10, 1968 the case of his adopted state of Minnesota, Furthermore, the Minneapolis newspapers which support Hubert Humphrey blanket most of our State every day. I also note you are making a stop in North Dakota. Because of the rivalry between the sister states of the two Dakotas, this is causing resentment among some political leaders at the county level. They know North Dakota does not have a tough Senate race and South Dakota does. They know South Dakota gave you 11 delegates at the Convention and North Dakota only gave you 5 or b. Further, they feel they held firm against the flirtations by Rockcfeller and Reagan, but now you go clse- where and campaign among those who succumbed to the flirtations. Therefore, Dick, 1 hope you will give serious consideration to this request for an appearance in Sioux Falls when you next meet to arrange the continuation of your schedule after September 27. We are 100 percent for you, but we also need you to instill in our workers the need for walking the precincts in piling up the majority of votes we need to give you the victory you scek come next November and the Republican Senate seat to give us the workable majority we need in the Senate.

Hugh has assumed the duties of Office Manager in Los Angeles and you are correct in contacting him concerning the position we discussed. Most of the staff roles for the campaign have been filled. However, should you be interested in working in the Southern California area I suggest you contact Mr. A1 Harutu- nian or Mr. Bob Nesen at the Nixon headquarters in Los An- geles. They should be able to provide you with ample oppor- tunities to work. Here's to your continued success. Cordially, HRH/u H. R. Haldeman L- diaftans. August 16, 1968 3 Cabrillo Road Arcadia, California 91006 Mr. H.R. Haldeman 465 Muirfield Road Los Angeles, California Dear Mr. Haldeman, When T spoke to Miss Fulton at the Thompson office today, T was quite surprised to learn that you have taken a leave of absence from the agency. Understandably though, I realize how impossible it would be to maintain the two posts simultaneously. Just as a matter of note, I am attempting to contact Mr. Hugh Sutherland to ascertain the status of the Operations Manager position which we discussed last January before I left for Europe. On the chance that this letter will reach you early enough to be of any value, I would sincerely like to offer my services to you and the Nixon campaign. I am quite anxious to see a Nixon victory this year and would like in some way to contribute whatever I can. Although I have no idea what type of capacity might need fulfilling, I believe that I could be of great value in a number of administrative or supervisory areas. At any rate I am vitally interested in hearing of any opportunities and offering my assistance. Good luck and I hope to see you again sometime in the near future. Cordially, DickDavid Richard J. David ONLIK DETERMINED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE MARKING E.O. 12356, Section 1.1 By RJP NARS, Date 4/6/87 CONFIDENTIAL September 5, 1968 MEMORANDUM TO: Peter Flanigan FROM: Bob Haldeman RN asked that I summarize some of his thoughts regarding the campaign -- and transmit them to you in this form with the request that you make every effort to implement them within your areas of contact or responsibility -- as quickly and as thoroughly as you can. As we begin the first week of the campaign, it is essential that we maintain the initiative. This will be primarily the role of the candidate but now is the time for everybody in our organi- zation -- including Surrogates --- other speakers and top staff who talk to press as well as politicos who talk to State and County Chairmen across the country - to have the line and put it out as effectively as possible. Among the points that should be made are the following: 1. The Come-Back Theme: This has an immense appeal and RN does not believe it has adequately been covered in columns or the press. Find ways to get it out - pointing up the obvious, that RN accomplished this despite the overwhelming opposition of the financial establishment and the press establishment and without huge financial resources, PR gimmicks, etc. 2. The Calibre of the Nixon Team: This gives us the opportunity to point up the superb RN pre-Convention organization, that it has high intellectual quality, great morale and great loyalty. It will be recalled that one of Johnson's weaknesses is that very few people on his staff are really loyal to him, due to his personal abuse of them. Appparently HHH has real staff problems, too. 3. The Youth of the RN Organization: Because we have such an outstanding group of young staff members in very key positions - this story should be easily and effectively promoted. Perhaps by emphasizing average age of Nixon staff, or the number of key men under 30, under 40 -- or whatever such statistics might be most telling. Also individual or group features on the young stars of the team, i.e., Buchanan, Price, Anderson, Bell, Gavin, Hart, etc., in R & W; Chapin, Ziegler, Higby, Allan Woods, - 2 - etc., in tour operations; the young crew working with Mitchell, Flanigan, et al; and all the young people in the Citizens Operation. 4. The Immense Effect of the RN Acceptance Speech: It probably had a greater effect in shifting votes than any acceptance speech in the last 25 years. Several have suggested that the story that RN prepared the speech on his own, and did not "try it out" or reveal any of the content to anybody except his secretary, simply hasn't gotten across. This is a very impressive story to the average person who suspects that all politicians are simply parrotting the lines their ghosts have written for them. This story should be gotten out broadly. Perhaps one way to bring this off is that when we reprint copies of the Acceptance Speech to distribute to people, a brief paragraph at the outset point out how it was prepared and also the immense effect that it had. Although many will say that we shouldn't build on events of the past, let us not forget that Kennedy made mountains of yardage during the first two years of his Presidency by referring to his Inaugural Address and having the press do likewise. Our people have not yet done an adequate job in this respect as far as this speech is concerned. 5. RN as Party Unifier: Even several of the less favorable press men pointed out that the week when we were at Mission Bay plus the swing to the major states was probably one of the major political stories of our time and would have been covered as such had the Czech Revolution not occurred in the same period. This story should be repeated over and over again properly embellished pointing out that RN fights hard but then is able to unify and bring the best men into the final organiza- tion. This will also give a good impression as to how RN will handle the Presidency once the battle is over. 6. RN, "the man for the times. ": Perhaps most important of all - there should be emphasis on RN, "the man for the times. " The Churchill analogy is probably appropriate. Churchill was "in the wilderness" as he put it during the '30s but was called back to lead his country in a period of crisis. What we must do is to knock down the idea that : by manipulation and because of political debts that were due RN, he was able to get the nomination. We've got to point out that he won the nomination because of his own strength and not just because of the weakness and confusion of his opponents. In summary, one weakness of our campaign in the past has been the tendency of our entire staff, and most of our supporters, simply to rely on RN's speeches and activities for our campaign success. We are doing better this time than we have previously, but we can take a leaf out of the Kennedy book and recognize that at least 50% of the credit for his win in 1960 and also for his immensely good press after the 1960 election was due to the fact that his staff and friends were constantly running their own campaigns in his behalf, and not just waiting for him to carry the ball. This must be done at all levels -- on the campaign plane, from the Citizens group in Washington and from the Campaign Headquarters in New York as well as by all of our state and local leaders. - 3 - Of vital importance is the point that we must play the confident line from now until November, regardless of what developments occur. We are on the offensive and we must stay on the offensive. The Democrats are demoralized, and we must keep them demoralized. We should exude confidence, not cockiness, indicating that we're going to run an all-out campaign and pour it on, but that we do SO knowing that we are ahead and that we plan to stay ahead and extend our lead so that we can elect a Republican House and a lot of Republican Senators as well. It is important that all of our major speakers take this line, and particularly important, that those who are on the plane and talking with the press, and the local politicos exude it. It is also important that those who have contact with RN take this line and not come in with long faces any time something goes wrong. TO. SMOCK/WADDELL. Inc.

Nixon c/o H. Robert Haldeman The Republican Party Dear Mr. Nixon: We need you. And we want you to be elected. Would you consider a suggestion from a "pro" in the communications business? In your television appearances, be careful, fellow Republican, that you do not "orate". Let Hubert indulge in the treacly sentimentality and the over-dramatic histrionics. He may emote himself into oblivion. When feasible, speak conversationally, approximating the easy manner you show in your ad lib interviews. The television cameras and microphones pick up every nuance of your expression -- even a whisper and bring it into our living rooms. Remember, in an address to a large audience, that is also televised, the human tendency is to raise one's voice to reach "those people in the back row". Resist excessive raising of voice volume. It can make one sound tense and "uptight" and conviction is lost. So stay "loose", keep it conversational. You'll be welcomed in our homes -- not as a politician "making a speech" -- but as a fellow human interested in our problems. Sincerely, Henry Hoople HH:bj September 3, 1968 Mr. David Simpson Willamette University Baxter Hall Salem, Oregon Dear David: I was delighted to get your letter expressing your interest in being of help in the forthcoming campaign. It was also great to know that you have decided to enter Willamette University. It is a very outstanding school. I used to know the President, G. Herbert Smith, quite well. Also I believe Senator Mark Hatfield has some ties to Willamette. I will give your name to our people responsible for college organizations and also to the Nixon Committee in Salem, Oregon and I trust you will be hearing from them soon regarding ways in which you can be of help. If you don't hear, please go ahead and get to work through the Young Republican Club at the University and also check in at the Nixon Headquarters in Salem when they open up. Thanks very much for your offer of help and give my best to your mother and dad when you write them. Sincerely, H. R.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to respond but, as you know, I've spent the last 10 days covering the Democrats in Chicago.

Of course, Bob, we all should send our thanks and contrat- ulations to you for a job well done. I hope you have arranged for a nice "special" note to go to Linda Underwood who was the brightest star by far of the whole operation. The convention was successful in great measure to Linda's long hours, understanding disposition and pleasing personality. I hope she's appropriately recognized.

E. 36th St., Apt. 415 Fort Lauderdale 33308 August 24, 1968 SEP 3 1968 Dear Dick, Dodee and I were delighted by your first ballot nomina- tion and look forward to your election to the Presidency this Fall. After three busy months as Assistant Executive Secre- tary, Arrangements Committee, and Chief Sergeant-at- Arms for the National Convention at Miami Beach, I am ready to press on in your behalf in any capacity my experience allows. There are a few areas in which I believe my assistance would be helpful to you. First, in the security area, it is my observation at this point that you may be overpowered to the extent your campaign effort could be hampered. You need someone to relax the Secret Service. Second, I believe I could help in the Press relations area. My wide personal acquaintance with members of the press, including locals who rarely make the Wash- ington, D.C. scene, should be valuable in the production of local color stories helpful to you. The locals in cities, towns and counties visited by you as a Nominee are too often overlooked as to motorcade accommoda- tion, accessibility to you, etc. Third, in the speaker-bureau area, I believe I could do a creditable job. Besides a wide acquaintanceship with many athletes, actors and actresses, political personages, plus a broad recall of the physical accom- modations for speaking appearances in most cities of any size in the United States, I have had political- problem contact with previous speaker bureau people, Page 2 August 24, 1968 such as Congressman Bob Wilson, Cy Laughter, etc. Fourth, I have a considerable 8 mm color movie library of your United States and Foreign Travels covering your eight years as Vice President. Some- one, with political and technical knowledge, should look these over. May I hear from you at an early convenience? Sincerely, Jack Sheowood Jack Sherwood Telephone: 305-565-7843 Mr. Richard M.

As of\nnow, he will arrive sometime on the afternoon of the\n27th and will depart on the 30th. As we did in Santa\nBarbara, you should make the necessary arrangements to\nfly Manolo there a day or so early to make sure every-\nthing is in order.\nConcerning telephones, the following arrange-\nments should be made:\nIn Senator Smather's home and in Bebe Rebozo's\nhome please instruct your people to install one telephone\ncontaining 2 private lines. The lines that run to the\nSenator's home and those to Bebe Rebozo's home should be\nset up so that they will ring simultaneously at both\nplaces. is. they should be the same liner at both location\nAt the Key Biscayne Hotel, please hold RN's\nvilla and install in it 3 phones with 3 PL's in rotation.\nThey should have extremely long cords and not ring in the\nvilla.\nPlease hold Villa 39 or 40 for Bob Haldeman and\nDwight Chapin. In their villa, please install 2 instruments\nthat contain the same lines that are installed in RN's villa.\nIn addition, there should be an intercom between\nRN's villa and the Haldeman-Chapin villa. The Haldeman-Cha-\npin phones should also be on extremely long cords.\nConcerning cars, Manolo, Haldeman and Chapin should\neach have a car. We're not sure yet just who will be going\nto Key Biscayne and therefore can't make any other assignments\nat this time.\nFor details concerning the Smathers home, contact\nBebe Rebozo and he will fill you in.\nRegards from sunny Cleveland.\nBob Holdeman -JDE\nHOLTONS reasons FOR\nEGGLESTON, HOLTON, LAW OFFICES BUTLER & GLENN NOR FULK\n315 SHENANDOAN BUILDING\nVISIT - ASEASY To\nROANOKE, VIRGINIA 24001\n# PURWELL ECOLESTOR\nDo AS Rich MOND\nLIKWOOD HOLTON\n0.003 2687\nBUYLER\nSeptember 13, 1968\nTEL\nROBERT t OLERN\nMICHAEL 4.

You need to gain some affirmative votes in Virginia\nsomewhere, because the split caused by the Wallace candidacy\ncould cause you to end up with less than Humphrey's block of\nRegro-Regular Democrat votes.\n2. It's going to be extremely difficult for you to gain\nanything in Richmond; you can't make a pitch there for Negro\nvote, and your previous appearances there will produce a maximum\nvote for you there without another visit.\n3. You can gain substantially in Norfolk. Your vote there in 1960\nwas only 40% of the total vote, which leaves room for improvement.\nThey are now very friendly to you, as evidenced by the 700 people\nwho paid to have breakfast with you there in 1965. There has\nsince been a very serious split in the Democratic Party, all of\nwhich benefits you.\n4. They have an excellent meeting place, in the open air,\nwithin two and one-half blocks of all of the big downtown con-\ncentration of people. A noontime appearance, barring bad weather,\nwould draw a tremendous crowd.\n5. There is greater television coverage, to a larger metro-\npolitan area, in Norfolk than in Richmond.\n6. The Negro votes are much better organized in Richmond,\nSO the possibility (though slight) of any adverse demonstrations\nwould be greater in Richmond than in Norfolk.\nHonorable Richard M. Nixon\nPage 2\nSeptember 13, 1968\n7. The whole \"establishment\" in Norfolk is anxious to\nmove heaven and earth for you.

That is,\na run-down on who has answered whom about what,\nand when.\nHe feels it is important for him to be currently\naware of counter-attack activity because there will\nobviously be some times when he should also get into\nthe act, although it is his thought that at present\nat least, this should be kept to a minimum.\nNeedless to say, he at the present time, puts the\nhighest priority on this particular actovity and\nhopes that you will devote the necessary time and\nattention to it to make sure that the people assigned\nreally produce.\nAs one last thought, our friend suggested the phrase,\n\"Slap Happy Hubert\" as being one that might be\nhelpful. Handle that as you will.\nP.S.\nRN also suggested that you might be able to effectively\nuse Earl Mazo or Ralph DeToledano to prepare material\nfor use by the people engaged in counter-attack. It's\nmy understanding that Ralph is working on a book,\nand not available full time, but perhaps he could\nhelp from time to time from his home.

He will have\na wide listening audience from REA and farm groups at this conference,\nand this will give him an opportunity to expose himself on his farm\npolicy as well as to emphasize the fact that he is a South Dakota native\nand that South Dakota should support his candidacy.\n(2) We have a very difficult Senate race in South Dakota, as you\nknow. Archie Gubbrud, who chaired the Nixon delegation to the National\nConvention which supported you 100 percent, is engaged in a very close\nand tough fight with the incumbent Democrat, George McGovern. Your\nappearance could make the difference between victory and defeat.\n(3) Ao I understand it, you have indicated that you thought I\ncould handle the carrying of the State of South Dakota for your candidacy.\nMay I say that I am deeply humbled by your confidence in my vote-getting\nability for you in the coming election. However, with Congress in session\nHonorable Richard Nixon\n-2.\nSeptember 10, 1968\nuntil mid-October or later and with the assignment that I have to spend\nsome time on the Truth Squad and with any other engagements that may\ncome up for me, I find my time is going to be limited in what I can do\nin South Dakota, Therefore, Dick, it is going to be almost impossible\nfor me to make a complete tour of the State in behalf of your election\nto the Presidency, and this I believe implements the need for you to\nmake a noon-time stop in Sioux Falls where you can get wide television\nand press coverage not only of South Dakota but also of Minnesota,\n(4) Archie Gubbrud has been campaigning with the fact that he\ncan work closely with you as a sitting Senator and do more for South\nDakota than can George McGovern who is a Democrat and who opposed\nthe nomination of Humphrey. If you do not come and support his can-\ndidacy, based on this campaign fact and also the fact that he chaired\nyour delegation, it is going to be embarrassing for him.\nFurther, Dick, in view of the fact that it is known all over\nSouth Dakota of my close relationship with you, that I have worked with\nyou in previous campaigns, that we have been close friends for many\nyears, and that I am serving as your advisor in agriculture and natural\nresources, it is going to be difficult for me to explain to the Republican\nhierarchy and workers in South Dakota the fact that you missed our\nState in your campaign effort. 1 recognize that we have very few\nelectoral votes, but 1 do not believe you can completely eliminate the\n{casibility of campaigning in Midwest states where there are difficult\nSenate races. After all, we need the seats in the Senate if we are going\nto implement the program which you hope to place in effect once you\nare firmly installed in the White House come next January 20, and I am\ncompletely convinced you will be the victor. We are not asking much -\nonly a mid-day stop and, if possible, A noon-time stop at Sioux Falls\nwith a parade down the main street and is speech, and then you can be\non your way. We realize that we cannot ask for your time in any evening\nrally. In Sioux Falls we can give you statewide television coverage,\nstatewide radio coverage, and statewide press coverage. Also, in\nSioux Falls you will be in the heart of the most heavily populated area\nof South Dakota. Further, the television coverage from Sioux Falls\ngoes into southern Minnesota and into lowa. Thus, you have the advan-\ntage of speaking to an audience of more than one state.\n1 cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that since Hubert Humphrey\nwas born in South Dakota and still owns the family drug store in Huron,\nthere is a growing and disconcerting tendency on the part of many South\nDakotans to let \"State Pride\" overcome their political impulses just as in\nHonorable Richard Nixon\n-3-\nSeptember 10, 1968\nthe case of his adopted state of Minnesota, Furthermore, the Minneapolis\nnewspapers which support Hubert Humphrey blanket most of our State\nevery day.\nI also note you are making a stop in North Dakota. Because of\nthe rivalry between the sister states of the two Dakotas, this is causing\nresentment among some political leaders at the county level. They know\nNorth Dakota does not have a tough Senate race and South Dakota does.\nThey know South Dakota gave you 11 delegates at the Convention and\nNorth Dakota only gave you 5 or b. Further, they feel they held firm\nagainst the flirtations by Rockcfeller and Reagan, but now you go clse-\nwhere and campaign among those who succumbed to the flirtations.\nTherefore, Dick, 1 hope you will give serious consideration to\nthis request for an appearance in Sioux Falls when you next meet to\narrange the continuation of your schedule after September 27. We are\n100 percent for you, but we also need you to instill in our workers the\nneed for walking the precincts in piling up the majority of votes we need\nto give you the victory you scek come next November and the Republican\nSenate seat to give us the workable majority we need in the Senate.\nWith best wishes and kindest regards, I am\nCordially yours,\nKarl E.

Understandably though, I realize how impossible it would be\nto maintain the two posts simultaneously.\nJust as a matter of note, I am attempting to contact Mr. Hugh Sutherland\nto ascertain the status of the Operations Manager position which we\ndiscussed last January before I left for Europe.\nOn the chance that this letter will reach you early enough to be of any\nvalue, I would sincerely like to offer my services to you and the Nixon\ncampaign. I am quite anxious to see a Nixon victory this year and would\nlike in some way to contribute whatever I can.\nAlthough I have no idea what type of capacity might need fulfilling, I\nbelieve that I could be of great value in a number of administrative or\nsupervisory areas. At any rate I am vitally interested in hearing of\nany opportunities and offering my assistance.\nGood luck and I hope to see you again sometime in the near future.\nCordially,\nDickDavid\nRichard J.

This will be primarily the\nrole of the candidate but now is the time for everybody in our organi-\nzation -- including Surrogates --- other speakers and top staff who talk\nto press as well as politicos who talk to State and County Chairmen\nacross the country - to have the line and put it out as effectively as\npossible. Among the points that should be made are the following:\n1. The Come-Back Theme: This has an immense\nappeal and RN does not believe it has adequately been covered in columns\nor the press. Find ways to get it out - pointing up the obvious, that RN\naccomplished this despite the overwhelming opposition of the financial\nestablishment and the press establishment and without huge financial\nresources, PR gimmicks, etc.\n2. The Calibre of the Nixon Team: This gives us\nthe opportunity to point up the superb RN pre-Convention organization,\nthat it has high intellectual quality, great morale and great loyalty. It\nwill be recalled that one of Johnson's weaknesses is that very few people\non his staff are really loyal to him, due to his personal abuse of them.\nAppparently HHH has real staff problems, too.\n3. The Youth of the RN Organization: Because we have\nsuch an outstanding group of young staff members in very key positions -\nthis story should be easily and effectively promoted. Perhaps by emphasizing\naverage age of Nixon staff, or the number of key men under 30, under 40 --\nor whatever such statistics might be most telling.

The Immense Effect of the RN Acceptance Speech:\nIt probably had a greater effect in shifting votes than any acceptance speech\nin the last 25 years. Several have suggested that the story that RN prepared\nthe speech on his own, and did not \"try it out\" or reveal any of the content\nto anybody except his secretary, simply hasn't gotten across. This is a\nvery impressive story to the average person who suspects that all\npoliticians are simply parrotting the lines their ghosts have written for\nthem. This story should be gotten out broadly. Perhaps one way to bring\nthis off is that when we reprint copies of the Acceptance Speech to distribute\nto people, a brief paragraph at the outset point out how it was prepared and\nalso the immense effect that it had. Although many will say that we shouldn't\nbuild on events of the past, let us not forget that Kennedy made mountains\nof yardage during the first two years of his Presidency by referring to his\nInaugural Address and having the press do likewise. Our people have not\nyet done an adequate job in this respect as far as this speech is concerned.\n5. RN as Party Unifier: Even several of the less\nfavorable press men pointed out that the week when we were at Mission Bay\nplus the swing to the major states was probably one of the major political\nstories of our time and would have been covered as such had the Czech\nRevolution not occurred in the same period. This story should be repeated\nover and over again properly embellished pointing out that RN fights\nhard but then is able to unify and bring the best men into the final organiza-\ntion. This will also give a good impression as to how RN will handle the\nPresidency once the battle is over.\n6. RN, \"the man for the times. \": Perhaps most\nimportant of all - there should be emphasis on RN, \"the man for the times. \"\nThe Churchill analogy is probably appropriate. Churchill was \"in the\nwilderness\" as he put it during the '30s but was called back to lead his\ncountry in a period of crisis. What we must do is to knock down the idea\nthat : by manipulation and because of political debts that were due RN, he\nwas able to get the nomination. We've got to point out that he won the\nnomination because of his own strength and not just because of the weakness\nand confusion of his opponents.\nIn summary, one weakness of our campaign in the past\nhas been the tendency of our entire staff, and most of our supporters,\nsimply to rely on RN's speeches and activities for our campaign success.\nWe are doing better this time than we have previously, but we can take a\nleaf out of the Kennedy book and recognize that at least 50% of the credit\nfor his win in 1960 and also for his immensely good press after the 1960\nelection was due to the fact that his staff and friends were constantly\nrunning their own campaigns in his behalf, and not just waiting for him to\ncarry the ball. This must be done at all levels -- on the campaign plane,\nfrom the Citizens group in Washington and from the Campaign Headquarters\nin New York as well as by all of our state and local leaders.\n- 3 -\nOf vital importance is the point that we must play\nthe confident line from now until November, regardless of what\ndevelopments occur. We are on the offensive and we must stay on the\noffensive. The Democrats are demoralized, and we must keep them\ndemoralized. We should exude confidence, not cockiness, indicating\nthat we're going to run an all-out campaign and pour it on, but that we\ndo SO knowing that we are ahead and that we plan to stay ahead and\nextend our lead so that we can elect a Republican House and a lot of\nRepublican Senators as well. It is important that all of our major\nspeakers take this line, and particularly important, that those who\nare on the plane and talking with the press, and the local politicos\nexude it. It is also important that those who have contact with RN\ntake this line and not come in with long faces any time something goes\nwrong.\nTO.\nSMOCK/WADDELL. Inc.

Would you consider\na suggestion from a \"pro\" in the communications business?\nIn your television appearances, be careful, fellow Republican,\nthat you do not \"orate\". Let Hubert indulge in the treacly\nsentimentality and the over-dramatic histrionics. He may emote\nhimself into oblivion.\nWhen feasible, speak conversationally, approximating the easy\nmanner you show in your ad lib interviews. The television\ncameras and microphones pick up every nuance of your expression --\neven a whisper and bring it into our living rooms.\nRemember, in an address to a large audience, that is also\ntelevised, the human tendency is to raise one's voice to reach\n\"those people in the back row\". Resist excessive raising of\nvoice volume. It can make one sound tense and \"uptight\"\nand\nconviction is lost.\nSo stay \"loose\", keep it conversational.

My wide personal acquaintance with members of\nthe press, including locals who rarely make the Wash-\nington, D.C. scene, should be valuable in the production\nof local color stories helpful to you.

Besides a wide acquaintanceship\nwith many athletes, actors and actresses, political\npersonages, plus a broad recall of the physical accom-\nmodations for speaking appearances in most cities of\nany size in the United States, I have had political-\nproblem contact with previous speaker bureau people,\nPage 2\nAugust 24, 1968\nsuch as Congressman Bob Wilson, Cy Laughter, etc.\nFourth, I have a considerable 8 mm color movie\nlibrary of your United States and Foreign Travels\ncovering your eight years as Vice President.
