NO. 7 AND 1968 Smartest Move Since Becoming Gov. Claude Kirk made one of Ms smartest moves last Friday when he withdrew as candidate and threw the sunshine state and the citrus grove behind New York's Gov. Nelson Rockfeller in forthe Republican In discussing this Republican leader in both Ga. and Many feel that Gov. Kirt is power That he and Gov. Rockfeller made a deal for the second spot Florida lost its bid to one of the most highly respected mayor King High of Miami in the Governors race to At the Kirt was campaigning for the Governors he won his bid by crying the People back the every political figure is looking for and Gov.

Kirk predicted that his support of Nelson Rockfeller could be political in Florida and it might prove chairman of the Fla. Convention Delegation said that the support of Kirk could prove out to be a political disaster to the Gov. If he goes and support Rockfeller and does not take any of the delegation with Floridian the that he is a good campaigners and from tWs there are no doubts that he can help Gov. Rockfeller and the One thing that both Gov. Kirk and I agree on is Ms saying that is up for American but Kirk says that the only way to stand up for America is to vote for a two party President and there is no way in hell that Wallace can be the next off he went into the state of Alabama to secure voters for Nelson Rockfeller the GOP Presidential V.
