...exception. The Republicans not only did not lose any; they gained one. No fewer than 17 Republican Governors are now in command, and among them are some of the party's biggest names: New York's Nelson Rockefeller, Pennsylvania's William Scranton, Michigan's George Romney, Idaho's Robert Smylie, Oregon's Mark Hatfield. Last week Washington's promising young Republican Governor Daniel J. Evans, 40, called on the G.O.P. Governor's Mansion contingent to re-assume the responsibility it abdicated during the Goldwater campaign...
Rockefeller not only reached Michigan's George Romney, who was waiting on the second floor, he embraced him as the party's most promising national leader and potential savior. Addressing 2,400 Republicans at a $100-a-plate fund-raising dinner for the Nassau County G.O.P., Rocky noted that both Romney and New York's Republican Senator Jacob Javits were on hand. "It's nice to have them here together," he said pointedly. "I find a growing feeling among Republicans that it might be nice to have them together in our future...
...will be more flexible with its aid but that the states will not besiege Washington to do jobs that they can do themselves. There are plenty of such jobs, and many of them are being attacked by a flock of progressive Governors such as Rockefeller, Michigan's George Romney, Pennsylvania's William Scranton, Vermont's Philip Hoff, Oregon's Mark Hatfield, California's Pat Brown.

The Republicans may give tradition a further gig in 1968. Michigan Governor George Romney, a Mormon, is one of the most promising possibilities for the Republican presidential nomination. For geographic balance alone, the G.O.P. might well pick Romney's new but warm friend, New York Senator Jacob Javits, as his running mate, there by setting up an unprecedentedly balanced, Mormon-Jewish ticket...
...fate of Romney's Presidential bid, then, depends heavily on what happens to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death this week of Senator Pat McNamara. Romney will probably appoint the already hand-picked Republican candidate, Congressman Robert Griffin. The fiercely contested Democratic primary between ex-Governor G. Mennen Williams and Mayor Cavanagh will probably help Griffin, and both Democratic candidates will have serious electoral weaknesses. Romney will certainly be out campaigning hard this fall to keep Griffin in the Senate--and to put a public relations man in the White House...
