nlClon, Jne voters picked party
candidates for eight additional
House seats which the State
Eained in the 1860 census.
The Republican congressional
IncumbentS include John H.
RousSelot and Edgar HieStand,
both avowed members of the
John Birch Society. Another
Bircher, H. L. Richardson of
Temple City, won the Republi-
can nomination in the new 29th
District. All three districts are
N Los Angeles County.
The former Vice President, in
holding Mr.. Shell to about 80
per cent Of the Republican vote,
fulfilled his hackers pre-pri-
mary predictions. But he still
faced a delicate task in re-
lnifying his party for the gen.
Eral election against the Demo-
Gratis, who have a IL million
registration advantage.
A Warning in Opposition
Gov. Brown, for his part, ap-
peared to have good prospects
Of achieving his goal of match
ing the combined Nixon-Shell
total. The size of the vote
drawn by his three almost to-
tally unknown opponents could
be a warning Of dangerous
Democratic dissatisfaction. The
anti-Brown vote in the Demo-
cratic primary was described by
Mr.. Nixon as "the best news
Of the night"
But Gov. Browns showing
vas in sharp contrast to the
100000 votes against his ia
Vorite son slate in the 1860
Democratic presidential pri-
mary.
To win in this State, Re-
publican must hold 80 per cent
of his own party's vote and
capture 20 per cent of the -.
Democrats. Mr.. Nixon yester-
day received about 81 per cent
of the Republican vote, while
the anti-Brown Democrats
took more than Is per cent of
the vote away from the Gov
ernor.
The most pressing problem
confronting Mr.. Nixon today
was wooing back to his cause
the conservative voters who
supported Mr.. Shell, a wealthy
43-year-old independent oil
man and former football star. /,
Soon after the polls closed (
last night. Mr.. Shell told re-
porters that Mr.. Nixon's
chances Of victory in NoEem-
Der depended On his espousal
Of conservative principles.
He demanded q very pub

defeated contender said, He .,
doesn't have q prayer unless =
he does this. I Just believe :,
the Republican Party is dead !
unless 1t can do this kind Of a .
job"
The former Vice President
undoubtedly had this ultima
tum in mind when he arrived :
at his Wiltshire boulevard head

Remembers Challenge d
Thanked by his wife and
their daughters, Mr.. Nixon en-
joyed the taste of his first ;
election victory in almost six
years-hut not so much that
he forgot the greater challenge
the general election poses.
Having ignored Mr.. Shell
throughout the primary, he
now praised him for the vigor
and effectiveness Of his cam
paign and said their contest
had shown the strength of the
Republican Party"
Some will say the Repub-
licans are divided" he said,
but I say we proved in this
contest we care about what we
stand for. We fought a
good battle and now we will
get together in November and
win down the line"
Mr.. Nixon's party peace ef-
forts got an assist from Re-
publican National Chairman
William E. Miller who issued
statement in Washington con-
graduating Mr.. Nixon and
commencing Mr.. Shell, and de-
claring:
"As a dedicated Republican,
we are confident Joe (Shell) |
will be instrumental in rallying
his supporters behind the Re-
publican nominees and inSuring
a smashing defeat of the Demo-
cratic incumbent in November. |
A united Republican Party will |
mean victory and the return of |
California once again as the
Republican citadel of the Far
West"
At a press conference follow
ing his victory celebration, Mr..
Nixon rejected the suggestion |
that his victory had been a |
defeat for conservatism.
Mr.. Nixon declined to COM
NIT himself to the specific 5000
million budget cut Mr.. Shell
demanded, but said he agreed
State spending must be slashed
wherever possible to avoid a |
tax increase. He contraSted
this with the stand of Gov.
