Ex-Vice President Viewed as Gaining
In Future Race, Barring Defeat

carried the fight in 1860 and
barely missed winning the
Presidency over John F. Ken
nedy.
True enough, Senator Gold
water certainly, and possibly
Gov. Rockefeller, too, will not
let Mr.. Nixon forget his i'm
piled promise to serve out
his term in California and
not seek the Presidency at
the end of its first two years.
Promises such as these. how
ever. are never treated seri-
ously by convention dele
gates, since they are more or
less extorted from the man
who gives them and every
body knows it.
Moreover, Gov. Rockefeller
in particular will not be able
to push Mr.. Nixon too hard
on this point. He, himself,
was surely available" for
the presidential nomination
in 1860, only two years after
he had reached the New York
governorship. And he, him
self, by 1864, assuming his
reelection meantime in New
York, will be open to pre-
cisely the same charge-that
he wants to lay down one un-
finished position to take up a
higher one.
Mr.. Nixon is no worse off
than before and in some
senses better off. His original
preference was to stay out
of the California race
and perform simply as a
Republican elder statesman.
This he might have accom-
plished but for the present
world crisis. In this situation,
which requires the greatest
possible national unity, he
could have kept himself con-
stantly before the people by
constantly challenging Presi-
dent Kennedy on foreign
policy issues. This-and quite
rightly-he was unwilling to
do.
Too, many California Re-
publicans had told him in
sistently that it was his duty
to the party to go in against
the incumbent Democratic
Governor, Edmund (Pat)
Brown. He could continue to
refuse only at the risk of
seeming to be concerned only
for his own future. A final
refusal would have been
neither forgiven nor for
gotten.
Finally, at this early point
there is a distinct possibility
by no means unknown to the
coolly realistic Mr.. Nixon
that the Republican presi-
dental nomination of 1864
may be no great prize, any
how. The polls continue to
show President Kennedy'S

Shrewd EvoIuotion of Future Possibilities
Seen in Move by Ex-Vice President

Former Vice President Nix
on seems to be a fatalist in
politicS-he thinks that what
is destined to happen will
happen. So he virtually rules
himself out of the presiden-
tial race for 1864 but leaves
open the prospect of becom-
ing a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1868.
Seven years is a long way off,
but perhaps not to a man
now 48.
What were Mr.. NiXon's
reasons? He probably doesn't
know himself exactly why he
shuns 1864, but, as an expert
enced politician, he does know
that, if President Kennedy
is lucky enough to have a
good economic situation
throughout the country in
1864 and if the Nation is at
peace, the incumbent admin
istration will be hard to beat
and in all probability will win
reelection.
Also, If the Nation is at
war in 1864, it would obvious
ly be considered unwise to
change horses in mid
stream"
So Mr.. Nixon weighed all
the arguments against going
out for the Republican NOM
ination for Governor of Cali
fornia, including the pos
sibility that it would take
him out of the presidential
race in 1864, and decided
that he would be just as we'll
off anyway by skipping the
next presidential contest.
For one thing, the former
Vice Presidents two prin-
cipal rivals for the Republi-
can presidential nomination
in i964-Senator Goldwater
of Arizona and Gov, Rookie
feller of New York-would
have to bear the brunt of
the campaigning between
now and then and parti-
cipate actively in the preSi-
dential-primary contests in
various States. Also, if Gov.
Rockefeller doesn't win his
own reelection campaign
next year in New. York State,
he will be out Of the 1864
presidential race. If, how
ever, he wins by a larger
margin than he did in 1858,
he will have enhanced his
political stature nationally.
There is always the out
side chance that, while re-
fusing to be an active candi-
date for the Republican pres
idential nomination in 1864,
Mr.. Nixon will be drafted. "
But this seems remote. Gov.
Rockefeller will be regarded
as the front runner from now
on, and the battle will be be-
tween the more or less "eon-
servative" Senator Goldwater
and the more or less liberal
Evening star., 1961-09-29

Richard Nixon's decision to
run for Governor of Cali
fornia next year and not to
be "a candidate" for the
1864 Republican presidential
nomination should bring no
loud, unrestrained rejoicing
to his two rivals for that
nomination.
These rivals, Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York and
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, will not be wise to
assume that their own field
for the big job in 1864 is any
clearer than before. If Mr..
Nixon's announcement has
brought any basic change at
all, it may we'll have
hardened rather than eased
their problems.
For his plunge into Cali
fornia had been made newt
able by new circumstances
and will do his future ambi-
tions good rather than harm
unless, of course, he should
be defeated. That way would
lie disaster, as of course he
knows.
Assuming his election, how
ever-and this was the as
sumption he had to make
what will then be the posi-
ton? The fact he says he
will not be 1864 presidential
candidate" does not mean
that the Republican conven-
tion-and his hundreds of
powerful friends in the party
will necessarily accept that
as final. Genuine presiden-
tial drafts" rarely occur;
but emi-drafts occur fairly
often.
Mr.. Nixon at that conven-
ton will have a great deal of
money in the bank. He is
now and will remain the ma
tional leader of the COP.
He is closer and will remain
closer to those organization
type Republicans who usually
run conventions than is either
Gov. Rockefeller or Senator
Goldwater. And the party
owes him a great deal; he
