L. Stevens report
Meeting February 26, 1962, Pacific Palisades Chapter of
CALIFORNIANS FOR GOLDWATER. 821 Via De La Paz, Pacific
Palisades. 8 p.m.
Meeting opened by Jack Carpenter who introduced people sitting

Carpenter's remarks opened the meeting as follows:
Our principal aim is to elect Conservatives.
If there are 10 encumbants, and they are Conservatives,
vote for them and leave alone those you don't know.
Gaston's Remarks;
If you don't denounce all left wingers it is bad.
What is a Conservative? Basic answer to this is, a
Conservative believes basically in the individual.
Man has a God-given heritage. Liberals don't care about
the individual. They are destroying man and his basic dignity.
(here Gaston quoted from the Wall Street Journel article
"Political Opportunity")
If something is offered in two packages at the store,
and one product is an old established brand name product and
the other is a new product, people will buy the known brand
name product. Therefore we must offer something good enough
that they will buy. We must offer something different.
We are often called the "radical right" by the newspapers.
We believe that the least government is the best government.
The best government is designed to protect people from the govern-
ment.
I have been asked if I would support the winning Republi-
can candidate in the primaries, regardless of who he is. Since
one of the candidates has said he doesn't want the support of
the Central Committee, how could I support him if he were suc-
cessful in the Primary? He does not want my support.
-1-
Stevens report
I can't understa nd why one of the Republican dandi-
dates is making enemies of his friends. Well, his friends
aren't going to vote for him anyway.
We are being called witch hunters.
(here he told about being on Ben Hunter's TV show for
2 hours)
We talk about what we believe in, in public. The
liberals say people are dumb. They say don't give people
an ideal.
Every time we get our names in the newspapers, somebody
blackmails us. Usually it is the Democrats.
Liberals and Modernists control all the advertising
media for the most part.
The working press is 90% controlled by Democrats and
Liberals.
The Liberals say we have simple answers for complex
problems. The reverse is actually true.
The Liberals however can never give you a simple answer
to ANY question.
I wrote some 2 months ago about some of our weaknesses.
But the newspapers picked it up and quoted me out of context.
People try to belittle Goldwater.
We must laugh at these things.
I am not supposed to endorse anybody. I guess I'd better
take off this Shell button then.
If we lose this time, we must work harder and harder.
We must for the next five years, very hard.
When people asked me how I won the L.A. County YR, I
tell them, work, work, work. That is the reason we have been
successful. Lots of volunteer time. Putting in long hours
owrking. They can't understand this. I never once had to tell
my people at the Disneyland convention how to vote. All the
others offered jobs and other sorts of other things to get the
vote. We almost took control of the whole state. We would
have if we had had a little more time. It was because we be-
lieved in something. I firmly believe Goldwater can beat Kennedy.
Shell will beat Brown a hell of a lot easier than Nixon
will.
-2-
Stevens report
Well, I go off on all sorts of tangents, don't I.
They are trying to call themselves Moderates.
The Communists believe in what they are doing but they
are dead wrong.
I believe in flag waving. The mass of voters have no
faith in our governmental system any more. The government
has gone by default.
By any standards, we are not extremeists.
Alger Hiss was just a way of life.
Our government does not believe what the Communists
say. It does not believe they mean what they say.
This year the Board members of the YR's is running the
organization. I am not running the RY's. Last year, the
president ran the YR's. Last year it was a one-man show.
Shell will not win on the publicity he gets. He must
win by word-of-mouth publicity.
He doesn't have control ofthe press.
The thing that will save us is big business. Some of
the big business people are swinging over to our side. Coast
Federal has done this and (he mentioned 2 other business houses).
We have not sold our way of life abroad. We have got to
work for the Conservative movement.
Don't be taken in by newspaper articles and statements
that pick statements of our candidates out of context and print
them.
We now, as conservatives, control the official arm of the
Republican Party. This is why we are getting the national pub-
licity. We have taken control of 20% of the official volunteer
ortanizations of the Party.
We hope next year to take the whole thing.
If we can get Joe Shell in this time, it will be tremen-
dous.
However there are also factions within the Conservatives.
We must get behind and support our organization. Our
best support is Precinct work.
Last election (presidential) was lost by less than 1%
per precinct.
Take 6 people in a precinct. 3 of each, Republican and
Democrats. All you need to win are 50% of your representation
-3-
Stevens report
because only 50% of the registered voters vote in a Primary.
We need only 8 people in any given precinct. This can
swing the Primary. Getting out and doing door-to-door cam-
paigning.
The Democrats did it this way. Block-to-block, door-to-
door campaigning. Block-by-block precinct organization.
The Republicans do not yet realize they must have a good
precinct organization.
You can't write off anyone.
We must start door-to-door work. We must give the
people an ideal. You are going to have to drop out of other
groups and organizations and devote all your time to precinct
work.
When people ask"what are you going to do for me" I say,
Nothing. I am going to give you a chance to do things for
yourself.
The Liberals are trying to bribe people like the Demo-
crats do.
But it is precinct work that will do the job.
Floor Questions:
Q.
Are you available to speak at other meetings - to other
groups?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Would you be willing to debate a Democrat on TV?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Please explain your comment about the press being con-
trolled by the left (questionby Managing Editor of
Santa Monica Evening Outlook)
"
A.
Yes. That is what I said. 90% of the working press is
controlled by the Democrats and Liberals.
Q.
You mean by that that the editors do not control what
their papers print?
A.
Yes. 9 out of 10 people of the working press are re-
gistered democrats and liberals.
-4-
Stevens report
But we are going to go before TV and make news. We
don't care if the Republicans like it or not.
Q.
Why are you taking a strong stand for Shell when you
are supposed to be non-partisian before the Primary?
A.
Because Nixon has refused to support two encumbant
Republican congressmen, one of whom is 72 years old.
Now, we want to get our Malibu chapter started tonight. Please
see Carl Witt, precinct organizer who is an insurance broker
in private life.
