NIXON FOR GOVERNOR
3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161
October 23, 1962
Dear
Dick Nixon carried California in 1960 because the Republican party
turned out a big vote. This was primarily the result of a large and
well-organized Victory Squad that operated on election day.
Dick Nixon will be our next governor if we can duplicate that effort
in 1962. Los Angeles County needs 10,000 volunteers to work in the
precincts between 3:00 and 7:00 P.M. on November 6th. Because the
stock exchanges will be closed that day, our industry has an excellent
opportunity of contributing materially to a Republican victory. Many
feel that the future of the Republican party rests on the results of
the California Gubernatorial race.
Would you please ask your representatives and employees to help bring
this campaign to a successful climax by donating part of their after-
noon on election day to work on the Victory Squad. Please have them
fill out and mail the enclosed cards today. These cards will be pro-
cessed and precincts assigned by an IBM machine that must have this
information by this Friday, October 26th.
If each firm could send in ten to fifteen names we would be doing our
part to assure a victory. Please call me if you need more cards.
Let's WIN WITH NIXON:
Sincerely yours,
Richard A. Miller
General Partner
Hornblower & Weeks

NIXON FOR GOVERNOR

Dear
It looks like a close one. The outcome of this election will
depend upon how many workers the respective candidates can produce
for election day and for the absentee ballot drive. As I am sure
you know, the law on absentee ballots has been changed. They
must be in the hands of the election officials three days before
election day. This was put through the legislature by Unruh and
Brown to cut down on the absentee voting which gave Nixon Cali-
fornia in '60. It will probably do it too.
In an off-year election it is extremely difficult to generate a
great deal of enthusiasm in voters. Therefore, they usually don't
turn out to the polls in too great numbers unless someone works
the area. This is where you come in. In this election the workers
will win it for Nixon -- if we can get them out.
Could you help us line up some workers for the four hours (3 - 7 p.m.)
on election day which will make the difference between victory and
defeat?
It's up to you in '62!
Sincerely,
Harold Phillips
