feller of New York, by his
sudden and unexpected with
drawal from a contest for
the 1860 Republican presi-
Dental nomination, not only
dragged the rug from under
the feet of a very consider
able number of Republicans
who were supporting him but
he also handed the COP. a
severe jolt. His action made
it easy for Vice-President
Richard NJ. Nixon to obtain
the presidential nomination
but it did not help Mr.. Nixon
on the way to election in No.
vember, 1860. His action vir-
tually took all interest, all
the drama, out of the pre-
convention Republican cam
paign and made of the
COP. National Convention
merely a ratification affair.
1t also denied to the Repub-
licans any choice in the mat
ter of a presidential nomi-
nee. And perhaps worst of
all, it made it appear that
the bosses, the political Of
ficeholderS in the Republi-
can Party were debating the
nomination of Mr.. Nixon.
A good fight in the presiden-
tial primaries, in State con-
ventions where delegates to
the Republican National
Convention are chosen, and
in the national convention
itself, would have stimulated
interest not only for the Re
publicans, but independent
voters and those Democrats
who do not care for the pos
sible Democratic nominees.
Public Loves a Fight
All this may not hurt Mr..
Rockefeller personally and
his political future. although
the American public does not
admire too much a man who
runs away from a fight. Mr..
Rockefeller has determined.
apparently, to fight another
day. Perhaps in 1864 should
Mr.. Nixon lose in the presi-
dental race next year to a
Democrat.
Some of the Nixon sup
porters have been stupid, too,
in their efforts to convince
Gov. Rockefeller that he had
no chance to win the presi-
Dental nomination. 1t was
obvious that the "organiza-
ton" did its best in a number
of States to make the Rookie
feller bid for support pretty
sick. This was widely ad-
vertised by reporters who
Travelled with the New York
Governor in his trips to the
Far West and the Middle
West. The squeeze was on
according to reports, and the
Rockefeller party was giver
a cold shoulder.
1t was clear from the
start that Gov. Rockefeller'I
only chance lay in making
a good showing with the
voters in some of the presi-
dental primaries. He might
have won some of these
primary fights. But win OF
lose, his candidacy would
have aroused interest. Anc
Vice President Nixon, if he
had won in these primaries
as he very we'll might have
done. would have been vastly
strengthened as a vote-gettel
for the big race in November
against a Democratic op.
ponent.
1t has been argued otter
that high Office should seel
the man, not the man thu
high Office. Perhaps Mr.
Rockefeller has now cleared
the decks for such a play. 7.
enough of his followers
should decline to give up the
fight, if some leading figures
or better a single leading
figure, should start organiz-
ing for a Rockefeller draft
a contest might still be pos.
sible for the COP. nomina
