...York's dingy Madison Square Garden a television screen went blank just as the President began speaking, came brightly back just as he finished. There was evidence of ward-level tricksters at work: the Los Angeles dinner committee, dominated by Nixon supporters, invited California's Governor Goodwin J. Knight to appear only after making certain that Knight had already accepted an invitation from San Francisco. Sniggered a committee member: "When 'Goodie' found out that the San Francisco dinner wasn't going to be on television and the Los Angeles one was, he almost busted...
Early this year, to the surprise of no one, California's Governor Goodwin J. Knight announced that he was a "nominal" candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. He wants the yoman California delegation pledged 1) to President Eisenhower, if he chooses to run, and 2) to Goodie himself if Ike is not a candidate.

Since then, it has been generally taken for granted that "Goodie" Knight could do much as he liked with the State Central...
...Vice President's home state there was a growing uproar about his new political position. California's Republican Governor Goodwin J. Knight, irrepressible as ever, made the blatant announcement that he will head a favorite son delegation to the Republican National Convention next year if President Eisenhower does not run, even if that means an open fight with Nixon. This was too much for California's Republican Representative Carl Hinshaw, a friend of Nixon, who said that he was appalled at Knight's "amazing antics" and "fantastic pretensions." Roared Hinshaw: "Except in the ambitious dreams...
