...campaign of a Democratic candidate for Maricopa County sheriff. In 1950 he ran his first statewide campaign-for Hayden, who faced and won a primary fight. "All this time," says Shadegg now, "I was describing myself as an anti-Roosevelt, anti-Truman, anti-New Deal, anti-Fair Deal, Jeffersonian Democrat." Still a nominal Democrat. Shadegg managed Barry Goldwater's first campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1952.

The first is the Jeffersonian "wall of separation between Church and State," the second, the modern-day belief that the "right" of all children to an education entitles any and all students to Government assistance on an equal basis...
