The Challenge We Face
DO YOU REALIZE
That we have a real opportunity to elect a top leader as Governor
of our great State of California when we go to the polls June 5 and
elect Richard Nixon.
DO YOU REALIZE
That Richard Nixon's vast experience representing California in
the United States Congress and Senate and, later, as Vice-President
makes him the BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR GOV-
ERNOR.
DO YOU REALIZE
That Dick's unquestionable integrity and decisive leadership will
restore confidence in the governorship and help preserve States'
Rights.
DO YOU REALIZE
That because he is such an able and qualified leader with vast
experience he has become the number one political target in
America.
DO YOU REALIZE
That the DECISION is ours to ELECT Richard Nixon. We must
accept the challenge and disprove the systematic campaign to
undermine him.
DO YOU REALIZE
WE MUST BE WELL INFORMED AND HAVE THE SKILLS
TO COMBAT THE OPPOSITION'S MIS-INTERPRETATION
OF THE FACTS.
THIS IS THE CHALLENGE WE FACE!
Join with us in this campaign and help elect Dick Nixon and get top
leadership in our State.

LET'S CLOSE THE "LEADERSHIP-GAP" IN SACRAMENTO --- WIN WITH NIXON
The following excerpts were compiled from some of the many speeches made by Richard Nixon
throughout California on issues and conditions of statewide interest. Dick Nixon is conducting
a long, intensive, hard-hitting, factual, knowledgeable and heavily scheduled campaign.
Let us do our part by getting out a B IG NIXON VOTE FOR VICTORY at the June 5th Primary!!
DEFENSE CONTRACTS - 2-16-62 - Sacramento - "Defense plants account for 23 percent of all
factory jobs in California. Missile and aircraft production provide 82 percent of all jobs in San
Diego and 27 percent of all jobs in Los Angeles and Long Beach area. It should be perfectly clear
that anyone who is Governor of California must have experience with national defense matters. "
2-22-62 - Woodland Hills - "It would be indefensible to see contracts important to our national
security being given to small, inefficient plants while our own giant defense industry begins laying
off workers to prove that California too has people unemployed. The ultimate result of giving
priority to unemployment over performance would be disastrous.'
SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE - 12-2-61 - Santa Maria - "California will soon become first in
population in the nation. I say it is time to mount a crusade in this state for new leadership to
see to it that California will not also be first in crime, first in high taxes and first in bungling
bureaucracy."
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS - 4-24-62 - "For the next Governor of this state there can be
no more urgent assignment than to lead the fight for four major constitutional reforms:
(1) A complete, top to bottom overhaul of the present hornets nest of more than 350
swarming independent and semi-independent commissions, bureaus, agencies and departments
that comprise the executive branch of state government.
(2) Institution of annual legislative sessions would permit long-range committee investi-
gation in depth with no danger of simply putting off major issues two years at a time.
(3) Unfreeze that 2/3rds of the annual state budget which now is not subject to review or
control by the legislature.
(4) Senate reapportionment."
AGRICULTURE - 3-16-62 - San Bernardino - "A spirit of harmony and trust and cooperative
effort must be restored to California agriculture, if all of us are to reap the rewards of sustained
prosperity and greater productivity. That is the spirit - on the farm, in business and industry -
that creative leadership can restore."
BROWN - 4-20-62 - San Francisco - "Getting rid of the present Governor's super cabinets
will be one of my first acts. "
WELFARE & FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY - 12-2-61 - Santa Maria - "We now spend more than
$500 million annually on social welfare, highest by far in both total amount as well as average
benefits of any state in the United States. At a time when numerous California counties have held
Grand Jury investigations into welfare costs, expressing anything but apathy about their state
government, Brown and his machine chose to ignore their concerns and stepped up the handouts.'
NEW INDUSTRY & TAXES - 2-26-62 - San Mateo - "Our state government must adopt an attitude
which will inspire confidence in those who are considering investment here. We cannot afford
near sighted budget policies which in effect say 'tax and spend what the traffic will bear' without
regard to the effect these policies will have on future economic growth and on jobs for everyone."
12-2-61 - Santa Maria - "Already many firms are bypassing California as a site for new and
expanding plants. They find added taxes burdensome and a dangerous drain on the margin of
profits necessary for new investments and new jobs.
MEDICAL CARE FOR THE AGED - 2-22-62 - Woodland Hills - "We must all recognize that
there is a need for medical care for the aged. We have legislation to cover medical care for
our elderly people in need, the Kerr-Mills Act. The King-Anderson bill is not really a medical
plan at all, it is a hospital care plan and an inadequate one at that.
EDUCATION - 4-5-62 - Santa Rosa - "Detailed control of our schools and school budgets, and
of the curriculum must remain in the hands of the local boards. "
4-4-62 - Santa Clara - "Local control of public education is a full-time hundred percent matter -
and any retreat represents an opening wedge that may pull down, ultimately, our whole free way
of life. "
JUNIOR COLLEGES - 3-9-62 - Glendale - "What is needed - now, and not ten years from now
when the problem is on our front doorstep -- is a new chapter in the Education Code which spe-
cifically defines the status of our junior colleges, which spotlights their unique function as a
bridge between high school and the college and university, and which balances fairly their privi-
leges and responsibilities. 11
VICTORY IN '62 - 4-25-62 - San Diego - "Our goal should be to beat the opposition - not each
other. I intend to continue to follow the policy that I have adhered to throughout my political
career. I believe that the best way a candidate can prove he deserved the nomination of his
party is by demonstrating how effectively he can campaign against the man who will be his oppo-
nent in November rather than against his fellow Republicans who are seeking the nomination.
Our party has one special interest and only one: it seeks to serve the best interests of all the
people, all the time."
BROWN - 4-28-62 - Sacramento - "The seeds of special interest politics were planted by new
dealers and nurtured along the new Frontier. But Governor Brown, now a willing puppet of the
left wing CDC has brought it to full bloom right here in California -- weeds and all. The choice
is between standing pat for four more years of policies of incredible indecision and bungling or
moving ahead with the decisions for progress California needs.'
SQUAW VALLEY - 5-2-62 "The shenanigans are still unexplained by the Brown Administration.
Why didn't Brown cancel his crony's contract after the Newsom outfit was found guilty of serving
liquor to minors, and was cited for more than 30 concession violations?'
GOV'T SPENDING - 5-4-62 - Oakland - "The only way to curb the runaway spending of the
Brown Administration is to go on a fiscal diet. Keep away from government sweets. This is
exactly what I propose to do. We remember Brown's tax increase of over 250 million; we don't
want it to happen again. I will fight to see that it doesn't. "
FEDERAL ENCROACHMENT - 5-1-62 - Beverly Hills - "In those areas closest to the human
and individual needs of the American people - welfare, education, housing and urban renewal,
to mention but a few - there is still room for state and local autonomy and for private initiative.
Not only room, in fact, but an urgent necessity unless we are prepared to deal away our liberties
lulled by the tempting offer of governmental handouts.
- 2 -
EDUCATION ABOUT COMMUNISM - 3-24-62 - Ventura - "We must train our teachers especially
so that they in turn can instruct our young people in the true nature of the cold war and the present
menace to our way of life. "
CRIME AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT - 12-3-61 - Santa Monica - "California has experienced
a 90. 3 percent increase in major crime during the last 6 years. I disagree with those who attempt
to throw the blame on local enforcement officials. Leadership on the state level through state
laws, as well as the attitude of the Governor of this state on what I believe is an absolutely neces-
sary deterrent to crime - capital punishment - has an undeniable effect on the problem of law
enforcement. If the criminal elements get the idea that the State administration is soft on crime,
the inevitable result is to encourage those elements rather than to deter them. "
LOYALTY OATH - 3-10-62 - "I support the California State Loyalty Oath. I believe it should
be applied with full legislative intent. Public employment is a privilege as opposed to a right
and we have every reason to require public employees to take the loyalty oath.'
BOSSISM - 5-10-62 - Escondido - "In less than four years, the mainstream of California politics
has been polluted by Pat Brown's use of imported Tammany Hall political tactics. Our state,
which from the time of Hiram Johnson has established a reputation for placing the interests of
the people above partisan considerations, has now been contaminated by a foreign agent --
machine politics. All Californians, regardless of Party affiliation, should mourn the passing
of our nonpartisan tradition of State Government. Easterners who have moved to California
know what happens when bossism takes over. Pat Brown is teaching the rest of us these grimy
facts of political life. "
STATE GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION - 4-26-62 - San Francisco - "What is needed is not
more layers of government -- but fewer. Getting rid of the present Governor's super-cabinet
will be one of my first acts. "
4-24-62 - Los Angeles - "A complete, top-to-bottom overhaul of the present hornet's nest of
more than 350 swarming independent and semi-independent commissions and bureaus and
agencies and departments
"
WATER - 4-26-62 - San Francisco - "Water requires freedom from politics and federal meddling.
California water developments prove that self-government at the local level is the best govern-
ment. Water projects already built are the best possible evidence of the effectiveness of local
self-government. The job of the state should be to encourage this kind of achievement, not dis-
place it with larger government.
I am against the 160-acre limitation at all times and in all places where state water
development is concerned.
The Santa Margarita battleground stands as a prime example of the vigilance we must
always exercise to resist the ungrounded assertion of alleged federal rights over ours on our
own water.
Just as the Feather River Project and other units in the California Water Plan were planned
by past administrations almost 20 years ago, SO it is up to us to lay out a resourceful plan for
the generations to come.
We should not dismiss the possibilities for the future in the conversion of sea water. "
LOUIS FRANCIS AMENDMENT - 5-3-62 - Los Angeles - "No one concerned with the security of
our State and Nation can quarrel with the aims - which are designated to combat the communist
menace in California. Unfortunately there appears to be a fatal Constitutional flaw. Because of
3 -
loose drafting in Section 3, which allows a wide assortment of groups and individuals to designate
subversives, the amendment may inadvertently give the communists a constitutional escape hatch.
Communists ferret out a legal loophole with the cunning of a rat after cheese. My alternative is
this: at the next session of the legislature I will present a program (that) will: (1) deny use of tax
supported institutions for speeches by any individual who refuses to comply with Federal and State
subversive control laws (2) stress hard-hitting enforcement of laws now on the books, including
loyalty oaths. (3) Activate on a statewide basis educational programs on the tactics and strategy
of communism on the school and adult levels (4) emphasize the teaching of teachers and the use of
authoritative textbooks to do this job.
LAW ENFORCEMENT - 4-28-62 - Sacramento - "Instead of endless delays and foot dragging in
supporting city and county law enforcement officialsin such vital fields as narcotics control and
suppression of organized syndicate crime, new leadership in Sacramento could be counted on for
timely and vigorous action geared to meet these dangers. Instead of years of indecision over the
punishment of Caryl Chessman, such leadership would move to reverse the growth in the major
crime rate - one area in which California has no desire for continued number one ranking.'
EDUCATION 4-28-62 - Los Angeles - "With the exception of six other states, California has
the most crowded classrooms in the nation. Between the eighth and twelfth grades one out of
every four pupils drops out of school. In terms of unemployment, juvenile delinquency and the
state's welfare programs, this is 'social dynamite'. The solution lies in increasing the number
of teachers in California and using our school buildings to greater purpose, so that we can arrive
at an improved pupil-teacher ratio. Teachers should be relieved of non-teaching duties insofar
as possible. Our state is arbitrarily imposing more and more curricular assignments on local
school districts and at the same time assuming a decreasing percentage of the costs. We can't
have it both ways. We should limit ourselves to a statewide floor of curricular requirements
and allow maximum local autonomy of school districts.
I do not believe any problem confronting the Governor of this state should have a higher
priority than a complete re-examination of the state and local tax structure with the objective of
relieving economic pressures on education and on the real property taxpayer.
We must recognize more adequately the needs of students who want vocational training. "

JOBS AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE - 4-27-62 - Anaheim - "A few more years of wasteful,
inefficient, and patronage-plagued state government will inevitably mean still bigger budgets and
a more crushing tax load. And there is no surer way to scare off the new investment we must
have to provide new jobs for our increasing population. If California is going to provide produc-
tive jobs for its skilled citizens, we must have a new administration in Sacramento pledged to
holding down expenditures and offering a reasonable hope for eventual tax cuts.
What California needs are some decisions for progress and men capable of carrying out
those decisions so that this State once again can forge ahead and lead the nation in efficient state
government government which will attract to California the new investment in private enter-
prise which will mean new jobs for California's increasing population.'
