...Newark's Essex House, Scranton obviously referred to Goldwater's weakness in the East when he declared: "Republicans in New Jersey and Republicans in Pennsylvania both want to participate in the election of a Republican as the next President of the U.S. Neither of us is prepared to have the East Coast of this great nation sawed off and set afloat in the ocean this November. We want...
...Cleveland, Scranton compared Goldwater's conservatism unfavorably to that of Ohio's own late Senator Bob Taft. "Bob Taft was a conservative in the truest sense of the word," Scranton declared. "He sought to conserve all of the human values that have been carried down to us on the long stream of American history. He saw history as the foundation on which a better future might be built-not as a Technicolor fantasy behind which the problems of the present might be concealed. Bob Taft didn't say stop social security-he said extend...
...Detroit, Scranton dealt with the complex problem of automation, called it "the first gigantic step toward a fundamental change in the basis for human society."

Said he: "Our national policy has become one of reacting to events rather than one of seizing opportunities. In few places can we see present American indecision so clearly as we can see it in Cuba. The Castro regime is becoming more deeply entrenched in Cuba with each passing day. It has openly pledged its allegiance to the Communist camp. It has built a powerful military machine, second only to our own in this hemisphere...
Taking It Easy. What was Barry Goldwater doing while Scranton was campaigning? He was lying low. His advisers feel certain that his present delegate lead is so great that his nomination is assured if he can only stay out of political trouble. In other words, silence is Goldwater. Thus he occupied himself most of last week logging hours in an Air Force jet (he is a major general in the Air Force Reserve) and preparing like any other proud father for the 800-guest weekend wedding of his daughter Peggy...
