Leader (1918-2013), a native of York, Pennsylvania, rose from the anonymous status of chicken farmer's son and Gettysburg College undergraduate to become, first a State Senator, and then the 36th governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A steadfast liberal in a traditionally conservative state, Leader spent his brief time in the governor's office (1955-1959) fighting uphill battles and blazing courageous trails. He overhauled the state's corrupt patronage system; streamlined and humanized its mental health apparatus; and, when a black family moved into the white enclave of Levittown, took a brave stand in favor of integration.

Our opposition party has many troubles. Time does not permit me to list them all. One of its troubles is that it doesn't understand us. The Democratic Party is just too modern, too lively, and too active for our opposition to understand. For the old Republican Party, our Democratic Party is a mysterious contraption that usually seems to them to be moving in a thousand directions at once. Imagine how confusing that must be for a party that knows only three positions: standing still, spinning counter­ clockwise, and moving backward. In this instance, it is what they don't know that hurts them.

  • Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau
    from the Legislative Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau Brief 95-10 December 1995 WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES? The 1996 Wisconsin Presidential Preference Primary I. INTRODUCTION On March 19, 1996, Wisconsin voters will express their choices among the various candi­ dates seeking the presidential nomination of their respective national political parties. Wis­ consin has played an influential role in presidential selection over the years, and the 1995 Leg­ islature advanced the date of the spring election, which includes the 1996 presidential preference primary, by three weeks from the first Tuesday in April to the third Tuesday in March in response to similar action by other states. The Wisconsin presidential preference primary is an "open" primary. In other words, Wisconsin does not require voters to identify or declare a party affiliation when casting their ballots. Although in 1984 the Democratic National Committee refused to seat the convention delegates chosen in Wisconsin's open primary and required party caucuses to select the dele­ gates, it reversed its decision in 1988. This reversal was based on enactment of 1985 WISconsin Act 304, which allows political parties complete freedom to select any number of delegates on any basis they choose. The 1996 presidential primary, therefore, is advisory and not binding on the parties. This brief describes the procedure for developing the ballot, and, as has been the practice since 1968, it provides materials to assist the nominating committee in its task of identifying possible presidential candidates. II. THE NOMINATION PROCESS Preparation of the presidential preference primary ballot normally begins with the con­ vening of a presidential preference nominating committee on the last Tuesday in January to determine the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot.
