In his acceptance address Goldwater rejects compromise and promotes a militant brand of conservatism. He casts opposition as immoral and calls for a decisive, Atlantic‑centered vision, signaling a harsher campaign ahead and a potential shift toward a polarized political era.
The piece argues that loosening gambling laws fails to prevent scandals. It cites Britain where a syndicate rigged bets at Dagenham Greyhound track, boosting odds to 9872 to 1 and risking $28 million, showing that lenient regimes invite abuse and that both Britain and New York face temptations of big money and corruption.
Washington analysis argues Goldwater’s strength rests on delegates and ideological appeals rather than broad voter support. It warns that his campaign relies on white backlash and Eastern European immigrant audiences, risking a dangerous, racially charged race that could erode rational debate and civil rights progress.
A Vermont constitutional dispute challenges the idea that representation must be equal by head count. The author argues that “as equally as may be” protects rights and moral considerations, not strict numerical equality, in the face of a Supreme Court decision and political turmoil surrounding the Republican Party and Goldwater followers.
The column laments radical right influence at the GOP convention, contrasting Goldwater’s rise with moderate Republicans. It argues the party must revamp leadership behind ideals, not a loud fringe, to preserve dignity and broaden voice for conservatives and civil rights.
George M Graves of Shaftsbury argues against moving the Bennington post office. He mocks economy talk, references currency and presses, and urges retention of the marble and granite building with minimal parking, opposing a cement block trailer relocation.
The piece notes Eisenhower’s sharp attack on the press at the Republican convention as delegates booed Nelson Rockefeller over a platform condemning the John Birch Society. It contrasts Eisenhower’s criticism with the crowd’s reception of Goldwater and reflects on leadership, popularity, and dissent within the party.
