February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague
~

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Bob
This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Miss Loie Gaunt Su ite 807 Coast Federal Savings Building 9th amp Hill Los Angeles California
Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague
~

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Bob
This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation
Sincerely

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue

his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR
ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time

Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it

I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague
~

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

February 9 1962
Dear Mr Vice President
Although I think WedneBday night was the first time I ever had the privilege of actually meeting you in person I feel that I have known you intimately for quite some period of time I remember on one occasion in the 1952 campaign that I per80nally called Bill Rogers who was travelling with you and asked him whether he thought you would like to hear from the Governor I remember that Bill said you were in your room alone pretty much broken up and felt that all of your friends in the party had suddenly deserted you AS a result I headed for the Governors farm in pawling and described the situation and he immediately got in touch with you on the phone and I was there to hear the conversation you then made your famous television defense in one irresisshytibly sincere and honest statement of the facts and the enshytire nation was solidly behind you
AS you may know I ran the Governors campaign in 1946 the New York state end of the presidential campaign in 1948 the Governors campaign for re-election in 1950 and the New York state end of the Eisenhower-Nixon campaign in 1952
There were two observations you made the other night with respect to your plans for campaigning in California which based solely on my experience in New York state raised a quesshytion in my mind The first was to the effect that you might campaign to a large extent on national and international issues as distinguished from strictly state and local isues your theory was that what is good for the nation is good for calishyfornia This is so true However I had a very interesting experience in connection with the Governors decision to run again in 1950 after his defeat in the national election in 1948
At a time when the Governor together with Russ Sprague
~
-- - ----- -~~ - -- - ---

and the tate CrlaLr-man had already f-ubLicly ann ounceo 10r It Governor J oe f1ltlnley He r e ce i ve d Nora o ne day that Mr Hanley was o n his way to N~w York to ask the GoveInor to run in ni s place Russ sprague Herb Branell ard 1 s u c cee-ded in reachmiddotmiddot ing the GovePior at Forest Hills where he a nd h is family wese
watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

watclung the finals of the t e nni s tou r nuue nt t ha t year He came in with Mrs Dew~y to his s u i te at the Hoosevelt and wh i l e F ranees wen t to thf back pa r t of th e suite the three of us did our best to convince the Governor that he shouJd rdn again He fLa tly re fused on the bas is t ha t he had tho r ou qh ly considered the question and had conclusively decl~ed to retire from politics Accordingly Herb anj Russ decided the onl th i n q to do was to ge t ready for tile appe a rance of ir cidl ey and thp inevltable c~nplications with the preas
I s tayed w i th the Governor after Russ and Herb had gone because I was convinced that he was making a mi s take and conshysequently in splte of his flat refusal to change his mind I still urged him to do so He stated that r t was not only his decision but he and Frances had jointly decided to retlIe from poli tics and he called her HI for confi rma t ion of thi 9 fact When she came in I remember him asking her tc te 11 me that she fel t the same way tha t he did MllCh to his complete amaze-shyment she said that she thought he should run and he was comshypletely shocked He reminded her that they had r e c on f i rmed the decisl0n as recently as on their way to the tennis matches She agreed but s ta t ed that a woman was entitled to change her mind and had done so after listening to the radio reportlng that the Uri i ted states had j u at au tiered tile larges t casual ty so far in the Marean conflict It convlnced her that under those circumstances the people of New York and the cou n c r y were entitled to his serV1Ceamp and that he was llot in a positJOE to do as he pleased
The GOJernor thought abou t 1 t and said Doth ing for a very long and silent five minutes and then abruptly said oxey lets get Herb and Russ back here and we I 11 s ta r t maxinq our plans
With thi s backgruund and his hav i nq so recently campaigned on the presidential level the Governor fully expected to pursue
- 3 shy
his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR
ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time

Dear Bob
Congratulations on your being named Dicks campaign m2nager It was an obvious excellent selection
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you last week in San Diego and hope that you will call upon me if I can be of 8ny assistance along the way
I am sure you will very murh enjoy preparing for another active yeeT of drills and crises
Best personal regards

his campaign with emphasis on the national and international aspects of the moment and the need for peace He assumed that all the citizens of New York were predominantly thinking of the conflict in the East Nevertheless we very religiously polled the p~lc to determine what issues were the principal ones on which to concentrate To his surprise ~he internashytional situation was almost at the bottom of the list It was clear that in the selection of a Governor the people were thinking about state and local issues of immediate conshysequence to them in their every day life For example I remember that state education and schools were first in their minds It was hard for the Governor to force himself to accept the results of the polls and stick almost entirely to the state and local issues but he did because we all felt that while the polls could be quite unreliable on the outcome of the campaign they usually were reliable as to their reflecshytion of what the people were concerned about
In the face of the Joe Hanley letter episode and his prior defeat in 1948 he came through with a victory well over 500000 votes I hope that you will not conclude to push the issues on a national and international level because of your own keen knowledge and interest therein without fully testing out this same question with which we were confronted And since the important thing is to knock off california first I hope the polls show that you only have to take on pat Brown not JFK with his present popularity He comes later
secondly I thought there was a tendency on your part to rely too predominantly on what I have come to call the pony express or horse and buggy methods of getting across to the people By this I mean the day-to-day travelling from town to town handshaking party doorbell ringing etc While these things are still unquestionably valuable in winning votes and more particularly in keeping in tune with the attishytudes and interests of the 75 I have come to think of them as necessary adjuncts to the campaign but representing campaignshying on the retail rather than wholesale level when it comes to getting your personality and character across to the people
We became thoroughly sold on television as the one major means of getting through to the most people the most times with the most effectiveness and the most efficiency Conseshyquently I spent hours and hours with the Madison Avenue boys
- 4 shy
mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

mapping out our television approach to the campaign making sure that the Madison Avenue thinking and the political thinking were correctly welded together I worked primarily with a chap n~~ed Wick Crider who was then with BBD amp 0 putting together what I think is the most effective state television campaign that has been done ~o date Naturally the perfection of the entire program resulted fram the final fine touch of the Governor himself and the excellence with which he just as you can sell himself when the opportunity and the right setting is afforded
Mr Crider immediately took the correct position that the Governor had to present himself in a very human way to the people and that therefore he should televise from the street corners of New York city for example We pointed out that this might be fatal in terms of dangerous incidents too pt to occur As a result Wick devised an extremely clever procedure whereby the Governor actually sat in the studio but the television sets were located on two important cross-town highly populated spots on the street The people could see the Governor and the Governor could see them on the set in the studio They talked to him from the street and he talked back to them as they appeared to him from the street on the television set in front of him They would shake their finger at him in making a point and he would shake his back He could compliment the ladies on their pretty hats and make other friendly remarks without taking his eye off the main target of getting his position on the issues across He answered every question that was presented from the public and we had young Republicans planted with about the most embarrassing questions we could think of to make the program lively and with the most significant questions to get the Governors platform across on state and local and occasionally national issues Both sets were manned by exshyperts in handling an audience
On top of these 15 minute programs we took as much time as we could afford on pre-arranged 15 minute shows We threw out any suggestions of half hour long political speeches in order to avoid boredom We then threw out just straight 15 minute political speeches for the same reason and took the 15 minutes and converted them actually into shows
For example when we wished to attack the enemy with respect to their crimes the show was arranged for Halloween
- 5 shy
or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

or thereabouts The Governor appeared on a haunted house set and decided to go to the cellar to see what frightening things he might find down there In the cellar he started opening closet doors and there found the skeletons in the closets -shyie the oppositions scandals
When we decided to attack the enemys pie in the sky we developed a theme around the Trojan Horse -- Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts and he would pullout of a full-sized Trojan Horse all of the enemys promises and destroy them one by one in a most thorough and amusing fashion
Thus rather than what one would usually see on the teleshyvision page of the newspapers ~= namely == 7 to 715 political Speech one would see 7 to 715 Governor Dewey and the Trojan Horse Every second of the 15 minutes was a hard sale against unexpectedly interesting and effective backgrounds wrapped up in a suitable theme
As a matter of coincidence when I took over the manageshyment of Beech-Nut Life Savers and found myself quite unhappy with the ineffectiveness of our advertising I told our then and prbullbullent advertising firm -- Young and Rubicam -- that the one person I had confidence in on the use of television for commercial purposes was a fellow named wick Crider who I was afraid I would find at BBD amp o Y amp R proudly reported to me that that was not the case because he had become Vice President in charge of Television programming for their own agency
I know that you are not going to overlook the importance of television but I would have felt much more comfortable if you had declared TV as being the core to your campmpaign with all the travelling ahd handshaking that could be worked in to give that last bit of selling leverage rather than the real guts of your effort
I remember the Governor taking a trip to pine valley for a double foursome golf outing which included the famous Archie compston the golf pro at the Mid-Ocean Club in Bermuda and one of the most colorful pros of our time Pat Hogan whom you met in pawling was driving Archie back from Pine valley and asked him what he thought of the Governors game and his
- 6 shy
answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
Congratulations on your being named Dicks campaign m2nager It was an obvious excellent selection
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you last week in San Diego and hope that you will call upon me if I can be of 8ny assistance along the way
I am sure you will very murh enjoy preparing for another active yeeT of drills and crises
Best personal regards

answer was He is nothing but a d amned old piccolo player By this he meant that when he took his club up to the full back swing he let go of his little finger on his left hand as a piccolo player would and conse~Jently he uncocked his wrist at the top of the swing so that wcn he hit the ball he had nothing but the motion of his body and arms to make the ball go I compare TV to unleashing the cocked wrist in a golf shot It is the real quts of campaigning the rest helps to get the last extra yardage
I realize the techniques of New York state campaigning may not be common to California and of course you know california like the back of your hand Nevertheless I cant help making the foregoing observations for what they may be worth to you
Incidentally Wick crider spends a great deal of his time in california on Y amp R business and you might want to talk with him just out of curiosity The only thing to be sure of is that the television man doesnt go all out a la Madison Avenue where they only have to win one small percentage of the people to make a business a success rather than the majority YOU have to carefully bring adshyvertising concepts into focus so that they produce the results of an exciting political presentation rather than a Madison Avenue commercial In my opinion wick is the most experienced man in the united states on this type of thing
I was sorry that on your trip to st catherines I had to mia you having left ~~e Island the night before you arrived The station master at McIntosh Mr McAllister still talks about the fact that I tipped him off as to who was arriving in the morning and you will remember that he was there to meet you and you crossed the tracks to say hello to his wife They like the Polish girl in the Waldorf barber shop will never forget meeting you
I got quite a kick out of your remembering Toby woods I remember that we wbullbulle on st Catherines when we heard by radio of FDRs death When we broke the news to Toby his only observation was I wonder if they have anyone to take his place I am sure this same thought came to you on at least two occasions
Th~ ffxy b e s t of Luck You yea~Y k rooxe d d rood many mill Lon people dead o n t he Jack Faar show It was a swell job

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it

I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
I enjoyed our conversation last week and am very pleased with the arrangements made for my work this fall
My leave of absence from The Copley Newspapers will commence Augshyust 20 I will arrive in your office around eleven oclock that day and plan to be in Los Angeles all that week
I have made the necessary motel reservations for the week and Dick Ports is currently arranging an automobile for my use this fafl inasshymuch as my own could not withstand the mileage I anticipate Perhaps between now and the 20th arrangements could be made for any credit gti
cards you feel I might require To facilitate your records a simple 1 j advance for my expenses would be fine with me and you probably have II a telephone credit card number I could use for calls These details l ~t I am sure can be worked out when I arrive in your office Ii
I look forward to much hard work and most importantly success on November 6
Most sincerely

Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there
Sincerely rOl ~

Dear Bob
This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Loie
I just came back from dinner and could not get the energy to start studying so I have been laying on my bed reflecting about my association with the Nixon people It certainly does not seem like six years since I sixteen years old came roaring into the Mark Hopkins Hotel to _ get yours and everybodys hair
Anyway here I am thanks to the interest you people sparked in me graduati~ from Redlands in government Two days ago I turned in my honors project It is a 250 page affair entitled you would never guess--THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES TRADITION AND A NEW CONCEPT My mother came to Redlands Saturday morningWe typed on the thing in twenty hour shifts for three days We had to have three copies I think by the time it was allover Mother wished I had never heard of Nixon and was a math major--their projects are only about fifty pages Thanks t~ Dick Ports I had a good interview with the boss He gave me permission to use some material from his Vice Fresidency that had never been used before giving the project some real class
As 11 you had not done enough for me in the past this letter is partially a request for further consideration As you know I am State Coordinator of the College for Nixon which I plan to turn into a real going organization If I have to work 40 hours a week at Disneyland this summer I am not going to be in the locale or the position to build the organization like I want to Following the primary I would like to work with you people in a research capacity I feel I am capable (in all my modesty) arid there is no group of people in the country I would rather work With than you Agnes MM and the others So if you can give me consideration I would more than appreciate it
- 2 shy
I think I am coming into Los Angeles on Monday to see Dan Waters If I do I will drop in on you I have got to firm up my work plans pretty soon since Disneyland has been on my back to see if I am returning there

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick

We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR
ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Bob
This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR
ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

This supplements my previous letter regarding the private dinner I am gJv~ng in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for Richard M Nixon on February 7
We will assemble in the Basildon Room of the Waldorf at 6 30 p sm and dinner will be served in the connecting Jade Room at 715 pm Please take the ballroom elevators to the third floor
We will breakup about 10 30 pm but anyone who wishes may remain atter the dinner for a nightcap and chatting with our guest of honor Business clothes
There will be no speeches IIr Nixon will spend more than an hour answering questions Since the dinner is private neither the guest list nor any part of the discussion will be publicized
I hope you know at this time whether you can attend and will let me know at an early date I would like to spend a little time making the seating arrangements as interesting as possible

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
HARRY B CROOK JR
ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you

1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Miss Claxton
To follow up your recent exchange of correspondence with Mr Nixon regardlng your invitation to him to address the student body at La Verne College I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the SChedule Committee to work a spring date Into his schedule have not been succe8sful
Consequently he must reluctanUy decline your cordia11nvitation to meet with the students of La Verne College In the foreseeable future However 1n the event that it should later appear possible to work a visit to La Verne College Into his schedule we would like to take the liberty of contacting you
Thank you again for your kind invitation

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

September 18 1961
Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

ARMORED CAR SERVICE AVON NEW JERSEY
Complete Safeguarding of Valuables in Transit
Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j
Your early reply is awaited HCjrv

Political activities summary in part of Harry B Crook Jr (Age47)
1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal
~j

1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

1960-In charge of Nixon-Lodge tours for State of New JerseyWorked closely with Jack McKenzie Bob Collier John Erlicbman a young lad named Black John Warner and others Jack McKenzie and Bob Collier can best testify as to my dedicshy
ation to your cause
1958-As acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican Orshyganization with Sen H Alexander Smith as acting chairman arrangshyed for your appearance at a luncheon of more than 200 New Jersey fat cats at the Waldorf Astoria
This was during the campaign when we tried to elect Congressshyman Kean to the U S Senate
1957-Chairman of Nixon tour of New Jersey during Forbes for Governor campaign
You were almost mobbed in Jersey City and we always kiddinglyplaced the blame for that on Lou Guylay and Ab Herrman
Incidentally during this particular campaign it was my job to schedule camdidate Forbes into everyone of the more than 500 towns in New Jersey for at least one appearance
He appeared in more than 475 of those towns and although he lost the election to Meyner Fofbes obtained very close to one million votes more than any other Republican candidate had ever received in this State up until that time
1956-As New Jersey State chairman for absentee voting was able to set up an organization which produced more than 25000 votes for Ike and Dick
In addition I have been a member of the board of commissioners in my home town for the past 11 years---served as Mayor from 1955 to 1959-----have been county committeeman for my home district since 1947 and above all else I am dedicated to the cause of helping to elect Dick Nixon as Governor of California and then as the next Presshyident of the United States
Our State Chairman Webster B Todd our finance chairman Duncan Pitney Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen and many others high in our State party would be only too happy to furnish references and make recommendatioBs as to my strong and tireless desire to wmn

Dear Mr Nixon
I am writing to you not only as one who greatly admires your treshymendous abilities but as one who has upon several occasions had the honor to work with you personally during campaigns in New Jershysey
This letter is one which urges you to not loee any more time but to come out immediately and declare yourself as a candidate for Governor of your native State of California
The people of this entire country have realized too late that theymissed the opportunity to elect you as our President---please dont deny the good people of California the right to elect you as their Governor
This as you well know is not just a matter concerning the State of Qaifornia The future of the entire National Republican partyin my view hinges on your sucess or failure as its titular leader
Without a proper platform of honor from which to speak your voice as leader will become less audible as time goes on and before longit would be but a whisper
You cannot allow this to happen to you or the Party because youhave given too much of yourself and your family to just sit by and see some political opportunist step in and take over the leadership
I have had more than 25 years of active political (Republican) camshyaigning-----I would like to be a part of an organization working
n the State of California for the next full year helping to put~ ogether a winning team foryou
~ My business is in excellent condition I am willing to place a manshyager in charge of it while I would be working for and with you~ A brief summary of my activities accompanies this letter and Im certain that you will remember me when you have read it
ether you accept my offer to come to California or not PLEASE announce as a candidate for Governor
You will no doubt be elected and from there you will eventuallygain your real goal

Your early reply is awaited HCjrv
