Goldwater's biggest headache in the Granite State is not Rockefeller, Lodge, Stassen, or writeins for Nixon and Scranton. What hurts is the seemingly frivolous candidacy of an ambitious lady senator with whom he has been playing footsie for months, Margaret Chase Smith of Maine...
...Another Stassen defeat occurred is the summer of 1956, when he said that polls showed Nixon would detract from the ticket and might cost the Republicans some Congressional seats and statehouses, if not the White House. He offered Christan Herter of Massachusetts as an alternative. Nixon and his manager, Leonard Hall, moved fast and ruthlessly to isolate Stassen. Under this shadow, Stassen in 1958 sought the G.O.P. gubernatorial nomination in his adopted state of Pennsylvania, but was put down by a hostile machine. In 1959 he ran for mayor of Philadelphia, and lost to Dilworth in a definitively Democratic city...

...Stassen will elaborate his proposals in a speech here Monday night, and afterward in the District of Columbia and California primaries. Meanwhile, entering the New Hampshire primary months after Rockefeller and Goldwater, Stassen is aiming for 10 per cent of the vote in a state where polls shows 70 per cent of the voters are either undecided or unenthusiastic about the big two. Whether he is heard will depend on New Hampshire's willingness to consider a man whose ideas have often gone beyond what was congenial to men in control of national power...
