O'"— ^T—-
Speaking of images, I’m rather
surprised that leaders of the con-
servative conservative wing of the
GOP would fall so easily into what
cbuld be a fatal rut — that all the
26,000,000-plus voters who cast for
Mr. Goldwater are conservative con-
servatives who w'ould do the same
thing again.
The general concensus is that
about 6 million of those notes
stemmed from civil rights op-
position in the Southern states,
about 10/12 million were stand-
pat Republicans who wouldn't
switch come all that l\igh water,
and 6^8 million were of the
Goldwater/-conservative conser-
vative persuasion.
—o—
Seems to me, then; the prol>
lorn is three-fold: To hold the con-
servative strength, to give hope to
those regular Republicans that “went
along” that the future will he bright-
er, and to bring back into the GOF
fold the millions who defected to
the Democratic standard bearer
(whole hog or split ticket).
Obviously, the people aren’t
ready for the Goldwater brand of
Conservativism. Or, they weren’t, at
least. Whether they ever will be is
a question. Some people seem to
think the election results indicate
the nation has accepted limited so-
cialism.
But others, political obser-
vers who take their time analyz-
ing elections, the issues and the
campaigns (especially the cam-
paigns), insist the Goldwater
people failed completely to put
their program across, never
rallying from the Senator’s ac-
ceptance address.
This point, in fact, produced
this column. For an old-line Ohio
Republican and Texas resident for
about eight years, slid onto a stool
beside me at Dugan’s coffee counter
the other afternoon and asked me
what I thought of the election.
I flipped an answer: “Build a
better mousetrap.” He replied “be
serious” but I was serious. I could
have suggested the Republicans want
for a depression. That would have
been cynical. Yes, the right answer
is “build a better mousetrap.”
This is a competitive age. You
can’t buy the CIO political ac-
tion blueprint which zoomed
labor into a strong political posi-
tion and put it to work for you
unless you, too, have something
to offer the voters. I mean al-
ternatives—either-or.
Only rarely do citizens as a
whole fall for a pitch of “change
for change’s sake” when they have
a second car, a swimming pool and
a fat pay check. You can’t pound
home the thought that as soon as
your neighbor gets elected to public
office he is, automatically and per
se, a thief and a rascal catering
