4 The Newi-Reriev, Roseburg,
A DECLARATION OF WAR?
By Charles V. Stanton
After all, considerable water has gone under the bridge
pince the Republican convention
"old stuff to most people.
convention lingers in my mind. Perhaps it has consider
able significance. It may be an indication of some factors
that will bear on the coming election and on future politi
cal activities.
It was my personal feeling that the stirring demonstra
tion for Senator Barry Gold water was a lot of expensive
foolishness. Everyone knew he had no chance to be nomi
nated. Everyone knew that all the flowery oratory and the
exuberance of his few followers was a lot of hogwash, so
far as the actual nomination
himself indicated this fact when he withdrew his name
from nomination after the whoopee had ended.
Whether a nominee for President should have some real
opposition, or whether he is such an outstanding choice that
he should be named without competition involves opinion.
Competition is desirable, I believe, but it should be real
competition, not shammed, nor
standingly the choice of the convention that any other
nominations were either pure courtesy or had other mean
ing. Wing Has New Head
; One of the television reporters, it seems to me, had a
very good analysis of the Goldwater nomination and demon
stration. He explained that the Old Guard, or the conser
vative wing of the Republican Party, had been without a
leader Bince the death of the late Sen. Taft. It was his
belief that the Goldwater affair was staged for the purpose
of giving the senator the position of leadership over the
conservative wing.
, If that is true, and I am inclined to believe there is
no other good explanation for the affair, then it is worth
while, I believe, to take a look at the conservative wings
of both parties.
Both our political parties have had their liberal and
conservative wings for many years. Teddy Roosevelt met
with vicious opposition from the Old Guard because he was
too liberal. The so-called liberal philosophy has prevailed
in our national politics for a good many years, and in both
major parties. The Republican Party hasn't been nuite so j
far to the left as has the Democratic Party. But the pro-1
gram announced by Nixon, the Republican nominee, would ;
indicate that he proposes to move the party from the mid- j
dle-of-the-road to a slightly left position.
I Now, with a new leader, is there to be a resurgence
of strength on the part of the conservatives a deter
mined program to draw back from the left and toward the
right? And is the trend in that direction greater than is
apparent?
Statistics Given
In that connection some statistics recently circulated by
the National Association of Manufacturers are interesting.
'. Admittedly the NAM is strictly conservative and leans
to the conservative side. But it quotes from a political poll
in which voters were asked to identify themselves as liber
als or conservatives. '
1 The report shows that 66
unable to make a definition.
image of themselves 51 per cent said they were conserva
tives and 49 per cent liberals.
I The so-called liberal philosophy is far more evident in
tHe large cities, particularly industrial cities, accounting,
in part, for the fact that the northeast section of the coun
try reported 58 per cent liberal to 4.2 per cent conserva
tive. In the South, the conservatives won 55 to 45. The
Midwest, the farm belt, was 58 per cent conservative. The
Northwest was evenly divided 50-50.
These statistics show that the great majority of voters
do not identify themselves with either side. It is indicated,
by election returns, however, that they have aligned them
selves on the liberal side in late years. But it also is in
dicated that they could easily swing to the conservative
side, under certain conditions.
May we then assume that both parties are putting too
much faith in the liberal label? Does the conservative side
in both parties have more strength than election results in
late years would indicate? Is it possible, then, to interpret
the Goldwater affair as an open declaration of war against
so-called liberalism? That, I believe, is one way of looking
at what seemed otherwise to be a rather foolish exhibition.

Nixon Is Selling Nixon

It can be summed up like this:
He's going to play up Nixon, not

To the Editor:
I note in an article in the News-
Review of 8 August 1960, that Rep
resentative Al Fleeel of Roseburg
from the 15th District, Douglas
County, has countered the Legis
lative Interim Committee on Edu
cation proposal for a 25 per cent
levy on Douglas County O & C
funds as a tax offset for educa
tional financing by proposing that
this levy be reduced to per
cent.
Since the fundamental issue in
volved is whether the monies re
ceived by one county can be util
ized by other counties, it is diffi
cult for me to imagine an elected
representative of this county, re
gurdless of his political party,
countenancing such an obtrusive
raid upon monies wholly vested in
Douglas County, the loss of which
will affect each and every taxpay
er in the county. Worse, if the door
is placed ajar by this incursion in
the name of education, then it
may be well opened at any other
time tor whatever purpose may
suit other foragers from the Port
land Area.
I call upon each and every candi
date for the OreRon Legislature
from Douglas County to oppose
this levy upon Douglas County O
& C Funds bv every available
means at his disposal and do here
by declare that I will do every
thing in my power, if elected, to
slop this predatory intrusion upon
our Douglas County O Sc C funds.
I challenge Al Fleeel, the Demo
crat candidate for the State Senate
from Douglas County in the Fall
elections, to so declare himself.

The dissections revealed that the
older rat had GOT YOUNGER.
The experimenters don't propose
that if you want to stay younger
longer you join yourself in a Si
amese twin operation with a
younger person. They go farther
than that.
They theorize that this "myster
ious and potent quality" that ap
parently was transfused from the
younger rat to the older rat can
be identified and isolated and then
SYNTHESIZED. (Synthesis is the
art or process of making or "build
ing up" a compound by the union
of simpler compounds or of its
elements such as the synthesis of
water from hydrogen and oxygen.)

If and when comes the time when
this mysterious and potent quality

to the older rat is synthesized and

HMMMMMM.
Maybe Ponce de Leon had some
thing, after all. His spring of eter
nal youth might have contained an
accidental synthesis of this "mys
terious and potent quality."
Who's doing all this experimental

in session. (Gerontology, incident
ally, is the study of aging process
es.) Ain't science wonderful?

last week, watching him cam
paign and talking with him, re
ported: The Republicans who trooped
along with him wherever he went
paraded the Republican banner.
Not Nixon.
He himself didn't talk about be
ing a Republican. He will try to
sell himself rather than the Re
publican brand of government or
even the Eisenhower brand.
(Incidentally, that's just how
Republican Nelson A. Rockefeller
won the governorship of New
York in 1958. He didn't tie him
self very tightly to the Eisenhower
label.)
Last April those who talked
with him said Nixon figured he
couldn't win on the Republican
vote alone because Democrats
outnumber Republicans and that
this was what he felt was neces
sary: For his margin of victory he'd
have to dip into that 20 per cent
or so of voters who are called
neither Democrats nor Republi
cans but independents.
The Hawaiian-trip newsmen re
ported his thinking on this:
1. While the winning votes must
come from the independents, only
a handful of them are thinking
voters who study the man and the
issues and cast their ballots on j
the basis of intellectual convic-1
tions.
2. The great majority are peo-'
pie who seldom vote and who j
who have no deep convictions or ;
continuing interest in government, j
3. This majority is generally in
fluenced by the candidate who
talks last and loudest. j
4. This is why President Tru- j
man beat New York's Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948
elections.
All this is based on the assump
tion on Nixon's part that the ma-;
jority of voters who don't vote ,
a straight party ticket, no matter
what the issues or the candidate
don't weigh the issues but make
up their mind on loud talk.
If Nixon is wrong, he may wind
up like Dewey.
At least two of the Hawaiian-!
trip newsmen indicated Nixon's '
style is to over simplify the issues 1
because he thinks this race will
resolve into a personality duel, i
But at the same time these
newsmen reported Nixon doesn't
think he ran match Sen. John F.
Kennedy, the Democratic nominee
in glamour or as a "natural smil-:
er." '
How, then, could he outmatch
Kennedy in personality?
One way would be to continue
drawing contrasts between his
own humble beginnings and the
wealthy background of Kennedy,
between the poor boy who made
good and the young man who
struck it rich the day he was
born.
It will be interesting to watch
how often Nixon tries that tech
nique. All the high hopes, plans and
techniques of both candidates
mav go up in smoke when they
meet face lo face in TV debates
since the voters millions of
them will be able to judge both
men on the spot on both issues
and personality. !
