...available. "I never wear a hat," he said half jokingly to an interviewer, "so it must always be in the ring." Among other top G.O.P. presidential possibilities, Michigan's Governor George Romney received a polite reception from the Young Republicans in Washington, and Pennsylvania's Governor William Scranton got a brusque brushoff from Goldwater. Recently Scranton asked Barry to make no attempt to win convention delegates from Pennsylvania. Scranton explained that he wants his state's delegation to go to the San Francisco convention uncommitted. But Goldwater declined to cooperate. Said he: "I'm not going...
...Pennsylvania's Governor William Scranton traveled only from Harrisburg to Philadelphia to a lunch hosted by Scott Paper Board Chairman Tom McCabe and billed as an attempt to promote Pennsylvania industry. But with increasing talk that such influential Eastern Republicans as Leonard Hall and Meade Alcorn Jr. are urging Scranton to get more national exposure, the guest list was politically impressive. It included National G.O.P. Chairman William Miller, former Chairmen Hall and Alcorn, Massachusetts National Committeeman Richard Treadway, Maine's National Committeeman Bradford Hutchins, Maryland's National Committeeman Edward Miller, former Defense Secretary Neil McElroy, Eisenhower...

Romney still retains some of the charisma that shone on the cover of Time magazine in his more cocksure days; he runs ahead of Governor Scranton, for instance, in a poll of Republican rank-and-file. However, he has never actively sought the Party's Presidential nomination for 1964, and he has no large organization working for him. Besides, party professionals, who now place him far down the list, have never liked him much anyhow; it is said that they feel he is too independent. But this does not explain much, for while he is certainly not allied with...
...first of his six terms in 1948. But Michigan has given Democrats other than Williams consistent majorities only since 1954, and their pluralities have seldom been large--again Williams is the exception. In this light, Romney's victory over Swainson by 80,000 votes in 1962 pales beside Scranton's 480,000 margin and Rockefeller...
