H.
Bob,
It seems to me that the basic
ideas for the use of TV in re: our
"campaign" as advanced by m. Chapman
have all been considered by us.
His interest in mr nexjon and how
w best promote our cause is most com-
men dable, but I honestly feel that
all he mentions in his letter is
essentially being considered-

ALGER 13. CHAPMAN
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Personal
February 9, 1962
Dear Mr. Vice President:
Although I think Wednesday night was the first time I
ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person, I
feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period
of time. I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign
that I personally called Bill Rogers who was travelling
with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to
hear from the Governor. I remember that Bill said you were
in your room alone, pretty much broken up, and felt that all
of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you. As
a result, I headed for the Governor's farm in Pawling and
described the situation and he immediately got in touch with
you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation.
You then made your famous television defense, in one irresis-
tibly sincere and honest statement of the facts, and the en-
tire nation was solidly behind you.
As you may know, I ran the Governor's campaign in 1946,
the New York State end of the presidential campaign in 1948,
the Governor's campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New
York State end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952.
There were two observations you made the other night with
respect to your plans for campaigning in California which,
based solely on my experience in New York State, raised a ques-
tion in my mind. The first was to the effect that you might
campaign to a large extent on national and international issues
as distinguished from strictly state and local issues. Your
theory was that what is good for the nation is good for Cali-
fornia. This is so true. However, I had a very interesting
experience in connection with the Governor's decision to run
again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in
1948.
At a time when the Governor, together with Russ Sprague
2 ...
and the State Chairman had already publicly announced for It.
Governor Joe Hanley, we received word one day that Mr. Hanley
was on his way to New York to ask the Governor to run in nis
place. RUSS Sprague, Herb Brownell and 1. succeeded in reach--
ing the Governor at Forest Hills where he and his family were
watching the finals of the tennis tournument that year. He
came in with Mrs. Dewey to his suite at the Roosevelt and,
while Frances went to the back part of the suite, the three
of us did our best to convince the Governor that he should run
again. He flatly refused on the basis that he had thoroughly
considered the question and had conclusively decided to retire
from politics. Accordingly, Herb and Russ decided the only
thing to do was to get ready for the appearance of Mr. Hanley
and the inevitable complications with the press.
I stayed with the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone
because I was convinced that he was making a mistake and, con-
sequently, in spite of his flat refusal to change his mind, I
still urged him to do SO. He stated that it was not only his
decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retire from
politics and he called her in for confirmation of this fact.
When she came in. I remember him asking her to tell me that
she felt the same way that he did. Much to his complete amaze-
ment, she said that she thought he should run and he was com-
pletely shocked. He reminded her that they had reconfirmed
the decision as recently as on their way to the tennis matches.
She agreed but stated that a woman was entitled to change her
mind and had done SC after listening to the radio reporting
that the United States had just suffered the largest casualty
SO far in the Morean conflict. It convinced her that under
those circumstances the people of New York and the country
were entitled to his services and that he was not in a position
to do as he pleased.
The Governor thought about It and said nothing for a very
long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said "Okey,
let's get Herb and Russ back here and we'll start making our
plans".
With this background, and his having so recently campaigned
on the Presidential level, the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 -
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international
aspects of the moment and the need for peace. He assumed that
all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of
the conflict in the East. Nevertheless, we very religiously
polled the public to determine what issues were the principal
ones on which to concentrate. TO his surprise, the interna-
tional situation was almost at the bottom of the list. It
was clear that, in the selection of a Governor, the people
were thinking about state and local issues of immediate con-
sequence to them in their every day life. For example, I
remember that state education and schools were first in
their minds. It was hard for the Governor to force himself
to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely
to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt
that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome
of the campaign, they usually were reliable as to their reflec-
tion of what the people were concerned about.
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior
defeat in 1948, he came through with a victory well over
500,000 votes. I hope that you will not conclude to push the
issues on a national and international level because of your
own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing
out this same question with which we were confronted. And,
since the important thing is to knock off California first, I
hope the polls show that you only have to take on Pat Brown,
not JFK with his present popularity. He comes later.
Secondly, I thought there was a tendency on your part to
rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the "pony
express" or "horse and buggy" methods of getting across to
the people. By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from
town to town, handshaking, party doorbell ringing, etc.
While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning
votes and, more particularly in keeping in tune with the atti-
tudes and interests of the 75%. I have come to think of them
as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaign-
ing on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes
to getting your personality and character across to the people.
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major
means of getting through to the most people, the most times
with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency. Conse-
quently, I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 -
mapping out our television approach to the campaign, making
sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political
thinking were correctly welded together. I worked primarily
with a chap named Wick Crider, who was then with BBD & O,
putting together what I think is the most effective state
television campaign that has been done 0 date. Naturally,
the perfection of the entire program resulted from the final
fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with
which he, just as you, can sell himself when the opportunity
and the right setting is afforded.
Mr. Crider immediately took the correct position that
the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to
the people and that, therefore, he should televise from the
street corners of New York City, for example. We pointed
out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents,
too mpt to occur. As a result, Wick devised an extremely
clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the
studio but the television sets were located on two important
cross-town, highly populated spots on the street. The people
could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on
the set in the studio. They talked to him from the street
and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the
street on the television set in front of him. They would
shake their finger at him in making a point and he would
shake his back. He could compliment the ladies on their
pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking
his eye off the main target of getting his position on the
issues across. He answered every question that was presented
from the public and we had Young Republicans planted with about
the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the
program lively and with the most significant questions to get
the Governor's platform across on state and local and,
occasionally, national issues. Both sets were manned by ex-
perts in handling an audience.
On top of these 15 minute programs, we took as much time
as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows. We threw
out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in
order to avoid boredom. We then threw out just straight 15
minute political speeches for the same reason and took the
15 minutes and converted them actually into shows.
For example, when we wished to attack the enemy with
respect to their "crimes", the show was arranged for Hallowe'en
- 5 -
or thereabouts. The Governor appeared on a haunted house set
and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things
he might find down there. In the cellar, he started opening
closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets --
i.e., the opposition's scandals.
When we decided to attack the enemy's pie in the sky, we
developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- "Beware of the
Greeks Bearing Gifts" and he would pull out of a full-sized
Trojan Horse all of the enemy's promises and destroy them one
by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion.
Thus, rather than what one would usually see on the tele-
vision page of the newspapers == namely == "7 to 7:15 Political
Speech", one would see "7 to 7:15, Governor Dewey and the
Trojan Horse". Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale
against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds
wrapped up in a suitable theme.
As a matter of coincidence, when I took over the manage-
ment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy
with the ineffectiveness of our advertising, I told our then
and present advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that
the one person I had confidence in on the use of television
for commercial purposes was a fellow named Wick Crider who I
was afraid I would find at BBD & O. Y & R proudly reported
to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice
President in charge of Television Programming for their own
agency.
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance
of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if
you had declared TV as being the core to your campaign with all
the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give
that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts
of your effort.
I remember the Governor taking a trip to Pine Valley for
a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie
Compston, the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda, and
one of the most colorful pros of our time. Pat Hogan, whom
you met in Pawling, was driving Archie back from Pine Valley
and asked him what he thought of the Governor's game and his
- 6 -
answer was "He is nothing but a damned old piccolo player".
By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full
back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand
as a piccolo player would and, consequently, he uncocked his
wrist at the top of the swing so that when he hit the ball,
he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make
the ball go. I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in
a golf shot. It is the real guts of campaigning; the rest
helps to get the last extra yardage.
I realize the techniques of New York State campaigning
may not be common to California and, of course, you know
California like the back of your hand. Nevertheless, I
can't help making the foregoing observations for what they
may be worth to you.
Incidentally, Wick Crider spends a great deal of his
time in California on Y & R business and you might want to
talk with him just out of curiosity. The only thing to be
sure of is that the television man doesn't go "all out"
a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small
percentage of the people to make a business a success,
rather than the majority. You have to carefully bring ad-
vertising concepts into focus so that they produce the
results of an exciting political presentation rather than
a Madison Avenue commercial. In my opinion, Wick is the
most experienced man in the United States on this type of
thing.
I was sorry that on your trip to St. Catherines I had to
miss you, having left the Island the night before you arrived.
The station master at McIntosh, Mr. McAllister, still talks
about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving
in the morning and you will remember that he was there to
meet you, and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his
wife. They, like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop,
will never forget meeting you.
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby Woods.
I remember that we WEEE on St. Catherines when we heard by
radio of FDR's death. When we broke the news to Toby, his
only observation was "I wonder if they have anyone to take
his place". I am sure this same thought came to you on at
least two occasions.

The very best of luck. You really knocked a good many
million people dead on the Jack Paar show. It was a swell
job.

Committee is "comfortably fat".
It was indeed reported at our recent
Leadership Meeting that Alameda County would not be
able to afford either a telephone blits or a Democratic
mailing, both of which are absolutely essential to our
cause.
I trust Bob McXeen and Lou Sharman
can work together on this, and that the available funds
will be expended in the most productive way possible.
Thanks very much for all your help.

Dear Bob:
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the
arrangements made for my work this fall.
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Aug-
ust 20. I will arrive in your office around eleven o'clock that day and
plan to be in Los Angeles all that week.
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week, and Dick
Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fall, inas-
much as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate. Perhaps
between now and the 20th, arrangements could be made for any credit
cards you feel I might require. To facilitate your records, a simple
advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have
a telephone credit card number I could use for calls. These details,
to
I am sure, can be worked out when I arrive in your office.
I look forward to much hard work and, most importantly, success on
November 6.
Most sincerely,

Dear Mr. Haldemans
Your letter of May 31 has been forwarded to me from Char-
lottesville, and I am of course keenly disappointed that your
staff cannot accomodate my admittedly circumscribed summer sit-
uation, The anticipation of passing a summer in the shadow of
b1g time power politics was encrmously attractive, and I put
the prospect to final rest with great reluctance.
I an aware of the severe limitations and liabilities of
my position, particularly in regard to personal resources, and
1t was only with great reticence that I suggested burdening
your campaign chest to the limited but necessary extent that I
did. Such was prompted by a conviction that I could be of real
assistance to the campaign organisation.
My congratulations go to you and Mr. Wixon on his recent
primary victory. The challenge of presching true conservation
to the dissident Shell faction is an awesome one, and I would
have relished joining in that historic affort.
Your continued cordiality 15 sincerely appreciated, and
I trust that should the occasion arise in the future where I
might augment or advance your electoral efforts on behalf of
Dick Nixon, you will not hesitate to call upon me.
With every good wish,

This is a line to express my appreciation for your
kindness in arranging for me to meet with Mr Nixon last
Tuesday the nineteenth.
It was certainly a great pleasure to meet him, and
I had a very interesting and satisfactory visit.
I was glad to see in this morning's paper that Shell
has requested his föllowers to support Nixon. It would cer-
tainly have been unfortunate if we had any real split in the
Republican party. Because of the Democratic registration
I think that the Republican climate has to be just right in or-
der to succeed.
You can be certain that you can count on us up here
to do our very best toward a victorious result.
Again thanks.

re: Ray Chambers
May 8, 1962
Dear Ray,
Pleased to receive your letter and to know that the honors project
is now behind you. Am sure it is up to your always high standards of
excellence. Hope we will see a copy of it sometime.
I think you know how much regard and affection I have for you.
Anything I can ever appropriate do for you, I - more than glad.
However, as far as working in the campaign is concerned, I de not
believe I can be helpful.
The only area in which I have any responsibility is the mail office,
and as far as I know new, the only openings there will be here would be
for people with a cembination of technical-csupesing skills.
Research is now a completely separate division. You did not say,
but I get the impression from your letter that you were thinking about
working during the summer only, and that you have other plans for the
fall. If this is the case, I think there is the drawback of research
needing trained people most at the time you would be leaving, since
September and October are the pressure months of a campaign. Also, I
personally don't think you would be any better off as far as time is
concerned to build your statewide College Youth for Mixon organisation
if you had paid-job responsibilities in the research and, than if you
were at Disneyland.
Have you talked with anyone about your College Youth organizational
responsibilities being on a paid-job basis shoughts during the summer. It
seems to as that it would be best if your total efforts were chanelled
in that one direction. However, I have no knowledge of budget or other
campaign organizational matters.
Back to my original point, after all this rambling -- none of this
up to me. Bob Haldeman is the one in whose hands all such decisions rest.
My suggestion that you get a Letter off to him sconest, setting forth
the whole matter. If you would like for me to "second any motions" at
any point, for whatever it might be worth, I would do so with pleasure
and enthusiasm.
Hope you will stop by when next you are up this way.
Very best from all of us,
Loie

Dear Loie:
I just came back from dinner and could not get the
energy to start studying 80 I have been laying on my bed
reflecting about my association with the Nixon people. It
certainly does not seem like six years since I, sixteen
years old, came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to
get yours and everybody's hair.
Anyway here I am, thanks to the interest you people
sparked in me, graduating from Redlands in government.
Two days ago I turned in my honors project. It is a 250
page affair entitled, you would never guess--THE VICE
PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES: TRADITION AND A NEW
CONCEPT. My mother came to Redlands Saturday morning.
We typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three
days. We had to have three copies. I think by the time
it was all over, Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon
and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty
pages. Thanks to Dick Ports I had a good interview with
the boss. He gave me permission to use some material from
his Vice Presidency that had never been used before, giving
the project some real "class."
As if you had not done enough for me in the past, this
letter is partially a request for further consideration.
As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon,
which I plan to turn into a real going organization. If
I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer
I am not going to be in the locale or the position to
build the organization like I want to. Following the
primary I would like to work with you people in a research
capacity. I feel I am capable (in all my modesty!) and
there is no group of people in the country I would rather
work with than you, Agnes, MM and the others. So if you
can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it.

I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to
see Dan Waters. If I do I will drop in on you. I have
got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland
has been on my back to see if I am returning there.
Sincerely,
Ray

This is primarily a research matter, but I think you should
handle the initial approach.
Ray Arbuthnot says that John Carr, who was Director of Finance
for Governor Brown up until recently, might be interested in
helping in the Nixon campaign.
Ray advises Carr is a good man; is - or at least was - a Republican;
did an extremely good job for Brown. His sister is a Democrat
in Santa Barbara, but both Carr and his sister have gotten out of
politics because they are sick of the Brown people and operation.
Carr was Comptroller for Buffums' in Long Beach before he went
into the government.
It is extremely important that he be approached on the right basis.
Since he is now in the Export-Import business, with a home in Lido,
Ray thought that Harry Buffum or Llewellyn Bixby
might be able to talk with him. Both are good, personal
friends.
Will you please give this some thought and work out an approach.
Let me know what you can do.

His friends call him "Keilv" and he is the Director of Agencies
for the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company. He is one
of mv closest friends and is interested in Nixon. Let me warn
you, that when you bring this up some unsophisticated person
is going to inform you that Golden State is alreadv "in the bag"
because Norman Houston, the President, and George Beavers, Chairman
of the Board, are both for Nixon. Houston is not for Nixon this
time and while Beavers is loval, Kelly has closer contact with the
grass roots. He will consult with VOI wisely and put you in touch
with valuable people.
Finally, look at two articles.
1. The current issue of Ebony Magazine, with a
picture of Lena Horne on the front, includes
Nixon's interview concerning the Negro vote.
2. Jet Magazine of the weel around April 16, will
probably have some note relative to my own

Dear Ray:
Thanks so much for your letter. Just as a preliminary run-down as
to procedure, why don't you, as Coordinator of the State College for
Nixon Committee, get your letter out along the lines you have
suggested, and over your own signature. This would be the starter.
The card to be returned should definitely be included. From the
returns, I would then suggest you appoint your own Committee.
My thought is this, Ray. It would seem better for the Committee to
be set up by you and from the inception, keep the reins in your hand,

with our organization supplying guidance, advice and counsel when and
where needed. This sort of program is most effectively handled as a
"self-starter", so to speak, and as a "self-sustaining" thing.
Norton Norris, our Contact Director, would be the one with whom you
would be working here in Headquarters, and he would be immediately
available for any help or suggestions you want. He can arrange to have
your letters produced and mailed, and the cards too. Give him a
draft to work with and be will fellow-through.
Joel Fisher's address is 3148 College Street, Berkeley, California.
If we can possibly work in Dick Nixon's visit to the Redlands campus in
April before the Convention, we will certainly do so. I agree this would
be very helpful.
At the moment, I am putting Norton Norris in touch with you and you'll
be hearing from him within a few days. He will help you get this thing
rolling, but meantime, call or write me further about any thoughts or
contrary suggestions you have.
Many thanks, Ray, and best regards.

invitation will be considered by the Schedule Committee at its
next meeting, and we will get back to you just as soon as
possible.
Looking at the schedule, we are already working around a
number of firm commitments in both March and April. As I
am sure you will recognize, the Schedule Committee is
confronted with problems involving both geography and time,
but I do want to assure you that your invitation to Mr. Nixon
will receive every consideration.
We appreciate hearing from you and will be in touch with you
just as soon as a definite indication is available.
Sincerely,

I have held off a reply to your letter of
January 18th until my plans were
definite.
Although I will be coming to New York
with Dick, it will be necessary for me to
leave before your dinner Wednesday might.
I'm really sorry to miss the event, and

Dear Bob:
This supplements my previous letter regarding the
private dinner I am giving in the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel for Richard M. Nixon on February 7.
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf
at 6:30 p.m., and dinner will be served in the
connecting Jade Room at 7:15 p.m. Please take the
ballroom elevators to the third floor.
We will break up about 10:30 p.m., but anyone who
wishes may remain after the dinner for a nightcap and
chatting with our guest of honor. Business clothes.
There will be no speeches. Mr. Nixon will spend more
than an hour answering questions. Since the dinner
is private, neither the guest list nor any part of the
discussion will be publicized.
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend,
and will let me know at an early date. I would like
to spend a little time making the seating arrangements
as interesting as possible.

Thank you very much indeed for

this time discuss definite plans in connection
with publication of Mr. Nixon's book, he will
appreciate, as do I, your thoughtful suggestion
of an autograph party and reception at The White
House. It will be passed along to those immediately
concerned with this phase of programming.
Meantime, please know we are
very grateful for your thoughtfulness in writing us.
If it appears possible to work something out along
the lines you have suggested, we will certainly
contact you.

Dear Miss Claxton:
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr. Nixon
regarding your invitation to him to address the student body at
La Verne College, I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the
Schedule Committee to work a spring date into his schedule have not
been successful.
Consequently, he must reluctantly decline your cordial invitation to
meet with the students of La Verne College in the foreseeable future.
However, in the event that it should later appear possible to work a
visit to La Verne College into his schedule, we would like to take the
liberty of contacting you.
Thank you again for your kind invitation.

Mr. Ray Chambers

Dear Ray:
The Nixon visit to the Redlands campus is definitely in order and I would
appreciate your thoughts as to best timing and auspices.
I am sorry we weren't able to get together over the holidays, but trust
you had a good vacation at Dismeyland.
I definitely think we should go ahead with the college organisation, and
am in full accord with the comments in your letter of December 7th
concerning the need for entering the primary campaign with unmatched
drive and enthusiasm.
I am afraid the files from the Presidential campaign would not be of much
value to us since they are now two years old and I presume that at least
a major portion of students succeeded in completing their courses and have
graduated. I think it would be better to start from scratch, campus by
campus, and suggest that you get in touch with Joel Fisher at Stanford,
State President of the College Federation of Young Republicans, to see if
he can help us in this regard. Obviewsly we do not want the Nixon
organisation to be limited to the college YR's. but Joel is very much with
us and I think could be helpful in providing an initial contact on each
campus. If you can take the time to get this project under way, I would
like very much to have you serve as general coordinator for the organising
stage, at least.
If you can take this on, why don't you get in touch with Joel and them let
me know what you are able to work out ?
Best regards.

candidates for Gov ernor of the two major parties
requesting information on their plans for the Department.
I understand that your members have a number of thoughts

neglected or mishandled in the past, and also what positive
steps you feel would be advisable for the future.
If you are going to be in the Southern California area in

to discuss this. If this is not possible, I would suggest
that you meet with one of our Northern California people
and would be glad to set this up at your convenience.

Dear Otis:
Your recollection regarding my statement in your
office that I was not a candidate for Nixon's campaign manager
is completely accurate. I told Dick before he declared his
candidacy that I would not be available for any fulltime position
in the campaign because of the commitments I had made to
J. Walter Thompson Company.
As we worked on the development of a plan for cam-
paign organisation, after his announcement, I realised I could
probably be of some help in the campaign and was able to work
out a satisfactory arrangement and replacement, on a temporary
basis, at Thompson, and so here I am. I appreciate your con-
gratulations and kind works, and can only say that I share your
feeling that this campaign must result in victory.

As you can well imagine, the last two weeks have
been extremely hectic, but I hope that within the very near
future I will have things well enough underway that we will be
assured of a smooth and efficiently functioning campaign organis-

I would also like very much to impose upon your time
and good nature to the extent of a general discussion of a number

which I would greatly appreciate your views.

Dear Ray:
Thank you very much for your letter of November
9. Let me start back on your third point by saying that I
certainly do remember the crossing of our paths most vividly
in 1956 at San Francisco, and also in 1960 at Chicago.
I did not know that you had been working one day
a week at the Coast Federal Building this summer, but I'm
certainly glad to see that you are continuing and expanding
your interests on behalf of good government. I was also de-
lighted to learn that you are serving as president of the Univ-
ersity of Redlands Young Republican organization, and that
you are going to be graduating cum laude from the University
this year. Strangely enough, I am a U. of R. alumnus having
spent six semesters there in the Navy V-12 program from
1944 to 1946.

Subj: Offers to Help
Now to cover the other points outlined in your letter.
First, your invitation to Mr. Nixon to visit the U. of R. campus
sometime during the next semester is one which, I am sure, we
will want to accept, and I am referring it to the Schedule Com-
mittee to be considered in laying out overall plans for speaking
activities after the first of the year. I would like very much to
see Dick make an appearance at Redlands and will do what I can
to help to work this out. We will be in touch with you probably
right after the first of the year regarding this.
I am in complete agreement with you that a College
Nixon for Governor Committee would be extremely valuabe and
I would like very much to pursue this thoughtfursticer with you.
If you will take the time from your studies to do so, I would greatly
appreciate a more detailed letter on this subject outlining your
thoughts and suggestions which, I can assure you, will receive
careful consideration.

Before any more time goes by, I wanted to bring

While we are certainly going to need every bit of
help we can get, and especially from seasoned pros like
yourself, I am just not in a position at this stage, at least,
to make a commitment to you that would justify your moving

our basic campaign staffing with Californians.

Dear Mr. Nixon:
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your tre-
mendous abilities but as one who has, upon several occasions had
the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jer-
sey.
This letter is one which urges you to not lose any more time but
to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for
Governor of your native State of California.
The people of this entire country have realized too late that they
missed the opportunity to elect you as our President please don't
deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their
Governor.
This, as you well know, is not just a matter concerning the State
of Clifornia. The future of the entire National Republican party,
in my view, hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader.
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak, your voice
as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before long
it would be but a whisper.
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because you
have given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and
see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership.
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) cam-
paigning I would like to be a part of an organization, working
in the State of California, for the next full year, helping to put
together a winning team for you.
My business is in excellent condition, I am willing to place a man-
ager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you.
A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and I'm
certain that you will remember me when you have read it.
Whether you accept my offer to come to California or not, PLEASE
announce as a candidate for Governor.
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventually
gain your real goal.
Your early reply is awaited.
