Vermont editorials react to Goldwater's Republican nomination with doubt about the GOP's future. Some papers predict a Johnson victory in Vermont, while John Drysdale of the White River Valley Herald argues the nomination forces GOP voters to choose between party loyalty and a defense of moderate progressive values.
The White River Valley Herald calls Goldwater a tragedy for the GOP and urges Vermont voters to back Lyndon B. Johnson. Vermont editors argue Republicans should withhold support from the national ticket but still back state office candidates who would restore a Republican course.
British Transport Minister Ernest Marples leads a study group to explore ultra compact folding or collapsible cars designed for city use by 2010. Concepts include two cars per household with one stored in the other and parking that allows sideways entry, plus aims to cut noise and fumes.
Vermont editorials debate Barry Goldwater as Republican nominee and the possible November outcome. They weigh Westward shift of GOP power, state sentiment, and potential Democratic gains under LBJ, with calls for a pragmatic conservative standard bearer.
A Bennington observer recalls Vermont’s 1776 congress of delegates at Dorset and Windsor that forged a state frame of government with a governor council and assembly. Ira Allen and Dr Thomas Young drew on Pennsylvania ideas, leading to a council that advised the governor and helped seaward a shift toward a senate in 1877, framing democracy with liberty.
In a Springfield column, Ralph E. Flanders argues that Goldwater's campaign’s hardline stance weakens party unity and risks fracturing the two party system. He cites Vermont delegates and Tocqueville’s warning on free association as context for renewed concerns about moderation and political cohesion.
