RIPON SEPTEMBER 1968 VOL. IV, No. 9 ONE DOLLAR EDITORIAL rankly, Nixon-Agnew was not our dream ticket. But presi­ Fdential tickets do not come into being merely because one dreams about them. They require hard work and careful organization over a long period. Mr. Nixon, after all, has been at the game for some time. He began laying the groundwork for his comeback in 1964, when he was the leading Republican to campaign nationally for the Goldwater - Miller ticket. He began building in earnest in 1966, when he toured the whole country for minor Republican candidates and won good will that was essential to his presidential ambitions. For two solid years thereafter he worked unremittingly, building a capable organization, reformulating his positions and submit­ ting to six primary campaigns. In his slow and steady progress towards the nomination. he ran the uninspiring race of the tortoise. But hares seldom win pres­ idential nominations. Even Eisenhower and Willkie were bene­ ficiaries of long-standing networks of influence that went into operation on their behalf well in advance of the nominating con­ ventions. These two men were "clean" candidates because others did the demeaning political work for them. Mr. Nixon is much more the self-made man. He can count on all other men on the make within the Repub­ lican Party to support his campaign. For the lesson of his nomi­ nation will not be lost on either the left or right wing of the GOP. As Mr. Nixon's participation in the campaigns of others has ex­ tended his influence within the Party, so will others now partici­ pate in his campaign to advance their own style of Republican­ ism. If Nixon wins, the fight for influence will be carried on within his administration. If he loses, it will manifest itself in a prolonged struggle for control of the Party in 1972.

    Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: a Political Portrait and Personal Recollection

    Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: A Political Portrait and Personal Recollection Rachelle Horowitz Editor’s Note: The names of Tom Kahn and Rachelle Horowitz should be better known than they are. Civil rights leader John Lewis certainly knew them. Recalling how the 1963 March on Washington was organised he said, ‘I remember this young lady, Rachelle Horowitz, who worked under Bayard [Rustin], and Rachelle, you could call her at three o'clock in the morning, and say, "Rachelle, how many buses are coming from New York? How many trains coming out of the south? How many buses coming from Philadelphia? How many planes coming from California?" and she could tell you because Rachelle Horowitz and Bayard Rustin worked so closely together. They put that thing together.’ There were compensations, though. Activist Joyce Ladner, who shared Rachelle Horowitz's one bedroom apartment that summer, recalled, ‘There were nights when I came in from the office exhausted and ready to sleep on the sofa, only to find that I had to wait until Bobby Dylan finished playing his guitar and trying out new songs he was working on before I could claim my bed.’ Tom Kahn also played a major role in organising the March on Washington, not least in writing (and rewriting) some of the speeches delivered that day, including A. Philip Randolph’s. When he died in 1992 Kahn was praised by the Social Democrats USA as ‘an incandescent writer, organizational Houdini, and guiding spirit of America's Social Democratic community for over 30 years.’ This account of his life was written by his comrade and friend in 2005.

Explain the difference between the statements by the President and Bo Callaway on Vice President Rockefeller. Q. I see no basic difference. What Callaway said and what the President said in a statement I read here June 16 are essentially the same --although, of course, different words are used. The wire services (AP 240 7/9 30lp. m.) reported Callaway says "he stands behind Ford's position, which is that the President would recommend Rockefeller to the GOP convention, but that Ford expects the delegates to decide who they want as their Vice Presidential candidate. 11 I believe that is a fair summary of the Callaway comments. Q. But Callaway said it will be a separate campaign? A.
