MEMORANDUM
PERSONAL and CONFIDENTIAL
FOR Richard M. Nixon
October 3, 1968
FROM Franklin B. Lincoln, Jr.
Re: Governmental Transfer
file
Pursuant to your instructions, I spent three hours
with Clark Clifford yesterday reviewing the governmental
transfer procedures and discussing DOD. He will collect his
files in connection with the Kennedy transfer in 1961 and will
make them available to me.
We talked to the White House while in Clark's office.
Charles Murphy, whom I know, has been designated by President
Johnson to represent him. Murphy expressed some concern that
the President had not had a reply to his letter addressed to
you several weeks ago.
He has received replies from both Wallace and
Humphrey.
To remove any sensitiveness which the President may
have, it would be constructive if you would write acknowledging
the President's letter and designating me (if that is still
your wish) as your representative. This will enable Murphy to
deal directly with me. It will also enable me to deal directly
with the other Executive Departments and Agencies.
At your convenience, I would like to report to you
on yesterday's meeting, outline the steps which are contemplated,
and receive your further instructions.
I might add that Nixon, Mudge feels that I should
serve if this is your desire, and have agreed to release me
for the next three months.

RN
Washington Post Editorial 10/3 -- "when a Presidential
candidate seeks to satisfy a special interest group at the
expense of the rest of us, there are several ways he can do it.
If the candidate is a candid man, sure of his position and
unafraid of public reaction, he can make a speech or release a
statement detailing whatever proposal it is he has in mind.
If the operation is a little more sinister, he can hang back,
say very little, and from time to time toss a note over the
transom saying, in effect, don't worry. I'm with you. This
last appears to be exactly what RN has done in assuring leaders
of the securities business that if elected President he would
end 'heavy-handed bureaucratic regulatory schemes' of LBJ
administration
Mr. Nixon's letter to 'several thousand'
securities men
appeared to give particular solace to the
proprietors of mutual funds whose activities have come under
increasing scrutiny by SEC
We are fascinated with the explanation letter not made
public because it covers only a 'narrow policy area'
He
does not talk about Vietnam because of 'very important' Paris
talks
Refused to elucidate objection to Fortas on grounds
that the nomination was before the Senate. Vietnam and Fortas
are apparently too big; the securities business is too small
Odder still
(an) avalanche of trivia that is instantly
made available to anyone who wants it. The state of the David-
Julie romance
color, style, design of Mrs. Nixon's wearing
apparel. Yet the securities business is being assured RN will be
friendly to it, in several thousand private letters which are not
released.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
DC
cc: Finch, Haldeman
FROM:
Ellsworth
RE:
Texas and Illinois
(1) Talked to O'Donnell, Fay and Hurd in Texas.
Their latest poll shows Nixon 34, Humphrey 27,
Wallace 22.
Wallace is holding steady -- very strong in
east Texas, west central Texas and panhandle. They are
having Thurmond, Tower and Reagan campaign in the state to
win Wallace votes for Nixon. Also, in the last 2 weeks
they will focus all their media on selling the Nixon answers
to the problems Wallace poses (not directed against Wallace,
directed on the issues).
NB: O'Donnell shrewdly points out that Wallace
is actually creating the issues for Nixon -- what a mess the
country is in, in specified areas -- and in the final analy-
sis people who are stimulated to want to vote against Humphey
by Wallace's talk will end up voting for Nixon because he
is perceived as actually having the capability to handle
the problems.
-2-
LeMay. Seems at first blush to have given
Wallace added prestige, but LeMay can be pictured as a
man who is irresponsible about the use of nuclear weapons
and also as the nation's number one advocate of the first-
strike or preemptive strike strategy for America.
Ellsworth called Mitchell and Mitchell will
attempt to activate several military people who can get
press to say on their own that LeMay's suggestion about the
use of atomic bombs is irresponsible and bad policy and also
that LeMay's advocacy (in his book) of a first-strike
nuclear strategy for the United States is irresponsible
and bad policy.
Humphrey's Vietnam maneuver seems to be losing
him ground in Texas. Despite the fact that he will solidify
some of the left wing of the Democratic Party in that state,
which he probably already had, he will lose the center of
the Democratic Party entirely. Congressman Olin (Tiger)
Teague (who I know supported Stevenson in the 1950's and
of course Kennedy) stated yesterday that he cannot support
Humphrey for President this year. This has received wide
play in the Texas press including a big story in the Dallas
paper this morning. There have also been good editorial
attacks against Humphrey for his stop-the-bombing maneuver.
-3-
John Hurd is going to have Ben Carpenter check with his
great friend John Connally as to Connally's feeling on
this and report back to me.
The Texans think Humphrey ought to be put
over with the Hippies and Yippies on the ultra-left. He
is too far to the left to be President.
O'Donnell is immediately undertaking to procure
as many RN endorsements in the smaller dailies and weeklies
as well as the large dailies as he possible can.
Everybody in Texas is worried about the press
speculation on the Cabinet. They have all issued state-
ments on it and they appreciate that some of the rest of
us have, too, but they would like it if the Candidate would
say:
"I am fortunate in that I have no obligation
to anyone with regard to the Cabinet, and I am now running
hard for the office of President. After I am elected, I
will have time to sit down and think and talk with my advisors
and pick the best men and women in America for my Cabinet.
Right now let's all concentrate on getting a great victory
so we can put this nation on the right track.'
Also, the Texans feel (they had 50,000 people
out in a house-to-house canvass about a week ago) that
Humphrey's flicks on recession - Social Security - the
economic issue - are getting to people. The Texans wish
-4-
RN would come back with some pocketbook issues daily. Not
let a day go by without talking about taxes and how bad
they are, Social Security and how good it is except for
the fact the Democrats have ruined it with inflation and
Nixon will strengthen it with cost of living increases.
The Texans also are concerned over an item which
appeared in last Sunday's Washington Star to the effect that
"Nixmsays privately he is in trouble in Texas. If They wish
Nixon would quite saying things to Tower and others that
permit gossip items like this to appear.
(2) Talked to Rentschler and Rumsfeld in Illinois.
Page was out of town.
Rumsfeld's pollster advises him that Nixon will
carry Illinois by 450,000 -- this is an upward revision
from his earlier estimate of a 300,000 margin. Also it is
now definitely safe to say that Nixon will carry Cook County.

Wallace. Wallace is strong downstate and in the
blue collar backlash suburbs in Cook County but he hurts
Humphrey much more than Nixon.
Wallace seems to be moving up.
Humphrey's stop-the-bombing maneuver will get him
-5-
some doves. Newton Minow, Humphrey's statewide chairman
in Illinois, will announce a bunch of McCarthy people for
Humphrey tomorrow.
Bruce Ladd, of Rumsfeld's staff, formerly a
weekly publisher in Illinois, has taken responsibility
for calling all the weekly editors in the state in an effort
to get immediate and strong Nixon editorials.
Haldeman: Rentschler says the November 2
shopping center tour would be a perfect wind up for the
Illinois campaign, especially as it would top Daley's torch-
light parade the previous night.
Haldeman: One of our TV spots apparently shows
a ballot with a "check" by Nixon's name rather than an
"x". In Illinois, and in most other states with paper bal-
lots, a "check" is grounds for disqualifying the entire
ballot.
Lindsay is campaigning in Chicago today, spending
most of the day with Ogilvie in Negro and Jewish wards --
then he will speak to the United Republican Fund tonight
where they are having a 4500-person, $100-a-plate dinner.
Lindsay is cutting Wallace, praising Nixon as a moderate
advocate of constructive change. He is saying that there
are no racist overtones in Nixon's talk of law and order and
is pointing out that Nixon has been scrupulous in that regard.
-6-
Lindsay also shrugged off the "Polack" and "Fat Jap" gaffs
of Agnew as being insignificant and as having been clari-
fied by Agnew himself.
The Illinois people have a number of things
planned to pop in the next week or two. They have 250
Illinois mayors coming out next week. Also next week they
have the offensive and defensive captains of the Chicago
Bears coming out. Also next week they have the Democrats
for Nixon being announced with the chairman being Lee Stern,
a prominent Democrat and a leader in the structure of the
Grain Exchange and a big leader in the Jewish community.
Also next week they are having a big statewide press forum
for John Mitchell.
MEMO TO RN
From Buchanan
October 5, 1968
The attacks on RN and Agnew have accelerated in
recent days they have become incredibly irresponsible; RN has
been accused of being part of an Administration that let people
starve in West Virginia. And we continue along our merry way.
With no one responding to this thing. I realize that Laird and
X surrogate said this and that) and that we have a transcript to
nove it said it but it doesn't make a damn bit of of difference
if he replied or not because it sure as hell is not turning up
in the News column5.
Aasfor Agnew, he is spending his time these days
clearing up the record, or getting chopped up by the Press. He
Not
is getting this because he is It making enough hard and tought news
to make these bastards sit up and write it as the lead. Now, I
don't know about Hess but from meeting him, I just doubt that he
is the kind of nut-cutter RN needs right now.
I don't agree with Finch is that the answer for Aggew
is to get positive. Our job is not to make the New York Times happy.
I think someone needsbo kick the living hell out of Humphrey and if
goes
personally
after
us
then let's go right after him. I think
Agnew has got to be that guy. We are letting Hubert off the defen-
sive he is on the attack every day this for themost vulnerable
candidate and the most vulnerable administration in history.
Neither Mitchell nor Ellsworth gets the kind of play
that O'Brien does. They have Musskie and O'Brien and WHumphrey kick-
ing thenell out of RN and who do we have that is kicking them and
getting a headline worth talking about?
Maybd the decison has been made for RN to ignore this
stuff and perhaps that is right. But my own personal view is that
we can't not only for political, but for simply the morale of our
troops, let them get away with the type of irresponsibility they
have been getting away with.
My suggestion is that Buchanan go with Agnew for
a while, and try to write two attacks a day for him and have RN
call Agnew and tell him this is what he wants done. We don't have
any other guns than Agnew--and I think the experience of the campaign
shows this. Todo the job that needs doing I would need some weight
with Agnew, some way to get through his staff if there is resistance
there
some press peeple, just two or so, иня that would be all,
we need. The objective is to get Agnew in the headlines every
day hammering these people and let the editorial writers squeal.

Re:
Attached - The "Bully Pulpit"
Among the numerous position and "idea" papers which
we receive, those of Thornton Read are among the most stimulating
and interesting.
Read is a physicist by training, but his help to
us has been principally in the field of foreign affairs and
military strategy. He is employed by Bell Telephone Laboratories,
and is also affiliated with the Center for Advanced Studies
at Princeton.
He has just submitted the attached paper on the
"Bully Pulpit."
I recommend that you read if time is available.
THE RISE OF IDEOLOGICAL POLITICS AND
THE ROLE OF THE "BULLY PULPIT"
by
Thornton Read
October 2, 1968
As Richard Nixon pointed out in his radio address of
September 29, "The sources of moral and civic order are in the
family, the church, the school and the community" and he went on
to question whether these institutions have "been doing the best
they can to preserve the old and valued. standards in this country?"
The fact is that the "old and valued standards" as well as
the moral authority of family, church, school and community as
value-sustaining institutions rested on a certain set of basic con-
victions and attitudes which in our day have become seriously
eroded. As the intellectual-ideological foundations of moral and
civic order grow weaker, civic order can no longer be sustained
by a social discipline internalized in the individual citizen.
Consequently external forcible coercion increasingly becomes the
basis of order, the alternative to anarchy. The current demand
for "law and order" is the inevitable consequence of the erosion of
the attitudes and beliefs that are the foundations of moral and
civic order.
As Irving Kristol puts it: "what every society needs is a
moral authority
The authority suitable for a liberal democracy
is the authority of opinion, and this is itself the creation of
the educated classes who, in such a society, are the opinion-makers.
When these classes announce their unwillingness to create such an
authoritative opinion - when they even deny the possibility of such
opinion - society suffers a loss of equilibrium." Since these
words were written New York Times Magazine, December 20, 1964],
the "loss of equilibrium" has reached alarming proportions.
Mr. Kristol goes on to say that "the overwhelming strength of
the argument for free popular education in the early decades of
the republic derived from the premise that a democracy, if it is
to govern itself properly, needs men of good character, and that it
is in the schools that good character receives its shape. Ob-
viously such a point of view only makes sense if one presumes to
recognize a 'good character' when one sees it
But we have, in
our time, no such presumption. Into the void left by traditional
moral authority we have imparted nothing but psychiatry and 'mental
hygiene'
"
-2-
Later (Fortune, July 1968) Mr. Kristol wrote that what is now
happening is "the slow draining away of legitimacy from existing
institutions and prevailing traditions." Specifically "the civic-
bourgeois culture is not being overwhelmed from without, but is
rather being casually and almost contemptuously subverted from
within. " He goes right to the heart of the matter when he says
that this development "almost surely has something to do with the
tremendous expansion of higher education in our times And he
asks: "how can a bourgeois society survive in a cultural ambiance
that derides every traditional bourgeois virtue and celebrates
anything - from promiscuity to homosexuality to drugs to political
terrorism - that is, in bourgeois eyes, perverse?"
To summarize: (1) The basis of the current crisis lies not in
external conditions (such as the state of the economy, or lack of
social justice) but in attitudes and beliefs. (2) The fault lies
to a very large extent with a failure of the educated classes, in
particular with the intelligensia defined as those who set the pre-
vailing fashions in ideas. As our society has become increasingly
secular, the intelligensia has taken over the role once played by
the clergy; and the educated classes have become, in effect, the
parishoners.
The ideas of the modern "secular religion" are as suitable for
clever repartee in coffee house and faculty lounge as the traditional
ideas were for sustaining a healthy, progressive democratic society -
and vice versa.
The result is that, in this election year, the older bread-and-
butter issues and interest-group politics have been overtaken by
ideological issues (a crisis of values, legitimacy and moral
authority), and a politics characterized by a massive schism within
American society. On one side are the liberal intellectual classes
and on the other what Joseph Kraft calls Middle America. Wallace's
appeal is that he speaks to the alienated in Middle America; he
articulates, however crudely, their (quite valid, if vaguely sensed)
fear that American society is becoming unraveled; and he identifies
(correctly, I think) the main source of the trouble - the "psuedo-
intellectuals. "
-3-
What is SO alarming about Wallace is that he is saying in a
crude form essentially what our best minds (as distinct from the
intelligensia as a whole) are saying in a highly sophisticated
form.
Richard Scammon writes that "Wallace is not really preaching
revolution. He's calling for a return to those middle-class values
that are prized by millions of Americans. As Norman Miller (Wall
Street Journal, September 27) puts it: "George Wallace has con-
veyed to his followers a sense of enlistment in a common man's
crusade against the Establishment. His astonishing appeal is no
longer limited to the Deep South" - or, we might add, to the race
issue.
In short what we now face is an old phenomenon: a populist
demagogue exploiting (however illegitimately) the perfectly legi-
timate grievances of a population that feels (correctly) that the
governing elites have failed, have betrayed the responsibilities
implicit in the influence they wield (indirectly in the case of the
intelligensia).
Daniel Elazar (The Public Interest, Summer 1966) illuminates
the historical and geographical sources of the now alarming schism
in American society: "The postwar growth of industrial and govern-
mental power in the Northeastern megalopolis reinforced an already
great concentration of cultural and 'intellectual power in the same
area. " Although "this concentration was actually greater a genera-
tion ago, and continues to be proportionately reduced in a number of
ways, its effects became more profound after the war
In an
earlier age, most Americans were little influenced" by intellectual
or cultural activities centered in the Northeast. This was changed
after the war, partly because scholarship became an important agent
of economic growth but even more because television emerged "as the
great national dispenser of ideas. The television industry
not
only projected the Easterners' image of contemporary American society
on screens in an overwhelming majority of American homes, but did
so with an impact that none of the other instruments of mass com-
munication could match.' The academics, intellectuals, opinion
leaders, and those who dominate the communications field "have
-4-
viewed America through the most provincial eyes, even as they have
attempted to express the most cosmopolitan ideas."
"At best this has led to the neglect of whole dimensions of
American civilization or their distortion through lack of knowledge,
sympathy, and perception. At worst, it is leading to a growing
alienation of large segments of the American public from the values
of intellectual freedom which, to them, have come to symbolize
'godlessness,' decadence, and immorality."
There we have it: the intelligensia, the vocal minority, is
an ingrown group; its outlook is parochial; its members are in
close touch with one another but not with much else. The intel-
ligensia has a great impact on the rest of society, but - being
given more to talking than to listening - it doesn't pick up much
feedback. So now we're getting feedback in the form of the Wallace
revolt, as we got it earlier in (Joe) McCarthyism.
Professor Elazar points out that the McCarthyism of the 1950's
affected "large numbers of solid, sober people who would not
normally be considered potential recruits for radicalism of any
kind, but who
identified themselves with conservative anti-
Communism" in part at least because of "a feeling of alienation
from an 'establishment" which had itself become
alienated from
the 'true' American way of life. "
Later and in the "wake of
Supreme Court decisions on censor-
ship, morals, religion, and criminal law, and particularly after
President Kennedy's a accession to office, the gap between the
megalopolis and the rest of the country became publicly apparent.
More and more people outside of the megalopolis were attracted to
movements which appeared to challenge the Establishment. For
most of these people, the radical right was much too radical,
attacking as it did not only those Eastern ideas which were foreign
to residents of the other sections, but also many national ideals
held in common by residents of all sections. They sought a more
moderate approach - and, for a while, seemed to find it in the
person of Barry Goldwater."
James Reston wrote (July 16, 1964) of Goldwater's nomination
that "A wholly new alignment of political forces in America is now
-5-
forming
The story of San Francisco is much more complicated
and interesting than the battle between the single-minded, indus-
trious Goldwater pros and the tardy sophisticated, disorganized
liberals
There are deep historical and psychological tides
running here
Mr. Goldwater may attract all the ultras, and
the antis
but he also attracts something that is precisely the
opposite of these vicious and negative forces
Mr. Goldwater
touches the deep feeling of regret in American life: regret over
the loss of religious faith; regret over the loss of simplicity and
fidelity; regret, in short, over the loss of America's innocent
and ideolistic youth. "
Reston called attention to "a deep feeling that is seldom
reported: That the nation
has drifted into attitudes and policies
that debase and weaken the American character, and threaten the
security of the nation. "
Thus the Wallace phenomenon is not really very new. It is the
latest manifestation of something that has been building up for a
Note
long time, and has, in fact, been pretty well recognized and an-
alyzed by at least a few of our most perceptive observers, although
even many of these have not fully appreciated the implications of
their own observations.
To recapitulate: What we now have is a deep division between
(1) an educated articulate minority which is wrong on the most
fundamental issues and (2) an inarticulate majority which realizes
something is seriously amiss and reacts - often in disturbing and
even dangerous ways. This basic split is a consequence of the
self-isolation of the intelligensia - of the one-way interaction
between the vocal minority and the inarticulate majority. The
latter, the "forgotten" people in "Middle America" are aware of -
indeed, through television, they are constantly assaulted by - the
Note
views and attitudes of the unrepresentative articulate minority.
Their reaction is threefold:
First, they don't like the new secular religion, the new
morality, the new anti-bourgeois culture, the new ideas about child-
rearing, patriotism, Communism, pornography, law-enforcement, student
discipline, and civil disobedience.
-6-
Second, they don't like the new breakdown in civic order.
And, in contrast to most of the articulate minority, they have
the wit to recognize the obvious, namely the connection between
ideas and consequences.
The cognoscendi, who have read DeTocqueville, Lyford Edwards,
Crane Brinton, and Harry Eckstein, understand the role of intel-
lectuals and ideas in causing revolutions and lesser civil disorders.
The illiterate may get the same message by observing that some of
our most dramatic examples of civil disorder have occurred on
university campuses.
What we are now seeing is the Berkeley-plus-Watts-equals-
Reagan formula on 2 larger scale.
Third, the majority of Americans do not like what the vocal
minority has told them about themselves and their motives. As
Vermont Royster said, if ordinary Americans "spoke their fears
about slum riots, they were told they were racists. If they com-
plained about taxes, they were selfish. If they wept for their
children in Haight-Ashbury, they were old fogies. If they asked
the policeman to clear the streets, they were reactionaries. And if
Note
they dared to see some virtue in family, thrift, industry or self--
reliance they were merely bourgeois." And he concludes that
"George Wallace would never have been heard of if others had not
for too long ignored the discontents of many decent honorable and
justly concerned people." [Wall Street Journal, September 11]
Irving Kristol says that so long as the anti-bourgeois, or
"adversary" culture "was restricted to an avant-grade elite, the
social and political consequences
were minimal
But in the
1960's the avant-grade culture made a successful take-over bid, so
to speak, and has now become the popular culture as well." It has
indeed become the popular culture of the growing educated elite;
but it's pretty unpopular with Mr. Kraft's "Middle America" and
that's what much of the fuss is about.
Mr. Kristol writes that "An intellectual may be defined as a
man who speaks with general authority about a subject on which he
Note
has no particular competence. This definition sounds ironic but
-7-
it is not. The authority is real enough, just as the lack of
specific competence is crucial. An economist writing about economics
is not acting as an intellectual, nor is a literary critic when he
explicates a text. In such cases, we are witnessing professionals
at work. On the other hand, there is good reason why we ordinarily
take the 'man of letters' as the archetypical intellectual. It is
he who most closely resembles his sociological forbear and ideal
type: the sermonizing cleric.
"Precisely which people, at which time, in any particular
social situation, are certified as 'intellectuals' is less impor-
tant than the fact that such certification is achieved - informally
but indisputably. And this process involves the recognition of
the intellectual as legitimately possessing the prerogative of being
moral guide and critic to the world. (It is not too much of an
exaggeration to say that even the clergy in the modern world can
claim this prerogative only to the extent that it apes the intel-
lectual class
)
" Further, "the intellectual lays claim - and the
claim is, more often than not, recognized - to moral authority over
the intentions and actions of political leaders" (Foreign Affairs,
July 1967).
Here Mr. Kristol's insights have to be supplemented by Mr. Kraft's.
Among the educated elite, the intellectual's claim to the role once
played by the clergy is recognized. But among the rest of society,
in "Middle America," among the inarticulate majority, the intellec-
tuals' claim so far from being "indisputably certified" is indis-
putably and indignantly rejected.
U. S. News and World Report (June 3, 1968) finds a "Middle
Class Revolt Brewing" in America: "The extremists have been getting
the headlines
But now, soundings across the country point to
another kind of uprising that may be in the making - a big protest
vote at the polls in November
"
"The public seems appalled by the collapse of accepted stan-
dards of behavior. In many instances, church members feel their
pastors are preaching social revolution and civil disobedience rather
than religion. In other words, not everyone is happy to see the
clergy "aping the intellectual class."
-8-
The intelligensia's claim to replace family and church as
the sources of moral authority and to replace traditional indivi-
dual moral standards (we shall discuss in a later paper what they
propose to replace these standards with and why) is what our current
social-political-ideological upheaval is essentially about. Wallace's
strength is that he has recognized this and has attacked not the
Administration, but "the Establishment, and in particular what to
the inarticulate majority is the voice of "the Establishment"
namely the "psuedo-intellectuals. "
Humphrey cannot attack the Administration because he is a
part of it. Likewise Nixon does not attack "the Establishment"
because he is a part of it, and in fact could not expect to govern
without it. And to the extent that the revolting middle class blames
"the Establishment" they will be attracted to anti-Establishment
politicians - like Wallace and (Gene) McCarthy - and will not see
a significant difference between Nixon and Humphrey, or between
them and Johnson, Rockefeller, Muskie or Agnew.
The challenge to political leadership, as we shall argue more
fully later, is to launch a dramatic movement to reform the non-
monolithic "Establishment" from within by altering the balance of
influence among its diverse and often conflicting components. The
key concept, as we shall see, is to recognize a deep split within
the intelligensia itself between a vocal majority and a sophisti-
cated, responsible, realistic minority of what might be called
reform intellectuals or a counter-intelligensia.
Just as there are forgotten men who make up the majority of
the inarticulate majority, so there are forgotten men who make up a
minority, but a crucial one, of the intelligensia. This minority
and the silent majority are not in conflict. They are just out of
Note
touch. The challenge to political leadership in 1968 is to bring
these two groups into an alliance and thereby (1) hold Middle America
in the mainstream of American politics, (2) transform "the estab-
lishment" by altering its internal balance of influence, especially
among the men of ideas and the men of words, and (3) change the
climate of opinion in a way which preserves the essence of the tra-
ditional standards and makes them relevant to the new day.
-9-
The primary function of the next President will not be as a
manager of the economy, or an interest broker, or even as Commander-
in-Chief of the armed forces, or conductor of our foreign relations.
It will be educational, intellectual and ideological (in the broad
sense having to do with the underlying beliefs, convictions, stan-
dards and values that make possible a viable order that's not a
police state). The next President, if he is to cope with the chaos
threatening to overwhelm us will be, above all, the occupant of
what Theodore Roosevelt called "the bully pulpit."

Apathy and over-confidence are greatly feared although
not measurably observed. To counter it in advance Andrews has
called district meetings all over the state to get out the
vote and is meeting next week in Columbus (assuming Congress has
adjourned) with the 19 Republican members of Congress. In any
case, there is substantially more apathy among the Democrats --
Wallace is hurting Humphrey a lot more than he is Nixon.
They are now predicting Nixon will carry Cincinnati
by over 60,000 (substantially higher than 1960); will carry
Franklin County (Columbus) with 63 percent of the vote (compared
with 57 percent in 1960); and will not lose Cleveland by more
than 120,000 (compared with a losing margin of 147,000 in 1960).
Statewide, Nixon will do better than 1960 when he
carried Ohio by 200,000.
The Humphrey stop the bombing maneuver has had no
effect so far. There have been no prominent McCarthyites doing
or saying anything for him.
Andrews says the Wallace vote will be lower than is
generally supposed.
Andrews is embarked on the program of having his

MEMORANDUM
TO:
DC
FROM:
Ellsworth
RE:
TV "Debate" issue.
(1) RN should not undertake to issue a
positive statement on it, as that would only elevate the
discussion to a level of the highest concern. Instead, RN
should handle it in response to questions. (See Ellsworth
statement issued this morning - attached).
(2) The RN response to questions should be
short and to the point, not drawn out. Further, the tone
of the response should be offhand and not particularly
intense -- this also for the purpose of not elevating the
matter to a level of high concern on the part of RN.
(3) Substance of the response should be:
(a) I said last spring I would
debate the nominee of the other major party (May 30, 1968
Atlanta, Georgia) if Congress could work it out, as they
did in 1960, to suspend the statutory requirement that all
Presidential candidates be given equal TV time. We don't
want third, fourth and fifth party splinter politics in this
-2-
country and I said last spring and I say again I will not
participate in undermining our two-party system.
(b) Now, Congress hasn't been able
to work it out -- the Senate, with 63 Democrats, was unable
to get a quorum to consider the matter, SO it has been
dropped. Thus, any debate that took place this year at
be
the Presidential level would have to/a three, four or
five-ring political circus.
(c) Therefore, because the Senate
wouldn't take it up, there won't be any TV debates this year.
It's as simple as that.
(d) Incidentally, although I do not
put the matter on this basis, I do have an interesting quo-
tation here:
"
losers always issue challenges to debate
and winners never accept."
That was Mr. Humphrey's own campaign manager,
Senator Fred Harris of Oklahoma, speaking in May of this
year (Chicago Sun-Times, May 17, 1968). -
NB: The question will undoubtedly come up that
Humphrey has offered to purchase TV time and engage in a
strictly two-man debate ---- so doesn't that call Nixon's hand
on his statement he is willing to debate Humphrey as long as
splinter candidates can be kept out of the picture?
-3-
The answer: That is a slick, superficial
public relations trick by Humphrey to make it appear that a
two-way debate would be possible, but he knows perfectly well
that unless the equal time law were suspended, which it has
not been, it is impossible to work out a straight two-man
"debate". Third, forth, and fifth party candidates would
still be able to demand the right to purchase an equal
amount of time and an equal quality of time. This could even
involve such splinter candidates demanding the right to
purchase actual participation in the show. Basically, that
is what Humphrey wants: to build up the third party candi-
date by forcing his participation on national televions in
a three-ring political circus. The Senate's inaction on the
suspension of the equal time law has simply closed the
subject of joint television appearance in this Presidential
campaign.
Here is another interesting quote:
"
the Vice President said he would not
participate in a television debate between himself and
McCarthy if it included either McGovern or Maddox 'that
would be a four-man wrestling contest. "
(UPI-August 18, 1968)
Statement by
ROBERT ELLSWORTH
National Political Director
October 11, 1968
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, October 11, 1968
Hubert Humphrey's desperate effort to change the equal time
law has failed.
It is now time to reveal this gambit for what it really was.
Hubert Humphrey was not sponsoring a piece of legislation -- he
was trying to sponsor George Wallace on national network television.
Humphrey and his campaign managers are well aware that he stands
no chance in the popular election. However, they have clung to the vain
hope that they could generate enough electoral college votes for Wallace to
throw the election into the House of Representatives.
Their only chance was to get Wallace the greatest possible
exposure on television.
That is why Hubert Humphrey personally patrolled the halls of
Congress while the bill was being argued.
That is why Speaker McCormack took the fantastic step of locking
in the Members of the House.
These desperate and cynical tactics succeeded temporarily when
the House Democrats voted approval of the Wallace-Humphrey TV show.
But in the Senate, Senator Everett Dirksen saw through the cynical
scheme and nailed it for what it was. Good night, Hubert. Good night, George.

From Ellsworth n
As Senator Fred Harris said earlier this spring when
he was Hubert Humphrey's pre-convention campaign manager and Humphrey was
being challenged by Senators MrCarthy and Kennedy to debate, losers
always challenge to debate and winners never debate -- of course, we
are not about to debate anybody.
Also, both Humphrey and Muskie voted to kill the Xx TV
debate bill in 1964 when Goldwater wanted to debate Johnson, but that
was an incumbent President, so I think the Fred Harris quote
much
now
more to the point than the Humphrey-Muskie Senate votes of 1964.
