Committee of 100 splits over 1968 nominee path
The 1967 Young Republican National Federation meeting in turmoil as moderates seek control with a three way race for chairman. Barry Goldwater’s influence looms amid calls for stronger national checks and a veto on executive board choices. Ray Bliss argues the aim is electing a nominee, not directing internal affairs, while Tom Van Sickle pushes constitutional changes. Jim Betts backs limits and executive director picks, with Ted Cormaney named as potential director if McDonald wins.
