March 18, 1962\nFrom:\nEmily Pike\nSubject. Opening of Shell for Governor Headquarters, March 12, 1962\nDistribution\nPerhaps the reports I've received from two people who attended\nthe opening of the Shell headquarters last night are of interest.\nHeadquarters at 1155 Market Street are \"gigantic\", about 50 fest\nwide and 150 feet deep. At one far end were stairs leading to\n& second floor. Shell was scheduled to stand on the stairs and\ndeliver his talk to the huge crowd. There being only between 125-\n150 people there, this plan was abandoned. The microphone was poor.\nOf the people there, a good number were \"Shell Belles\" and college\nand high school students of non-voting age. No recognizable Republican\nparty leaders, volunteer club officers, or precinct workers were seen,\nThere was a 5 piece band and B. bebershop quartet for entertainment,\npunch (no ice) and cookies were served.\nFive known CDC men were in attendance and spent some time talking\nwith Shell.\nLiterature (bumper strips, pamphlets, etc.) and pictures of Shell\nwere on hand in quantity. A Deputy Registrar was on duty.\nNo press was in attendance and the San Francisco morning papers\ndid not carry any story in at least the home editions.\nstudent\n3/13\nShell made & good talk for his own candidacy, quoting a Christian\nScience Monitor poll indicating that 90 days ago Shell had 11% of\nthe Republican vote, 60 days ago he had 17%, and currently has 37%\nHe apparently commented that by May 10th he will have passed Nixon\nwhich would give him another month to \"put the frosting on the cake\",\nHe announced that he had 45 headquarters opened statewide. Ro gave\nhis anti-sdddle of the road pitch. In all, he spoke between 5 and\n20 minutes.\nBoth people who attended summed it up as \"sad\".\nEmily"
