Calif. Chief Admits He Would Accept Draft
Western governors at a three day conference in West Yellowstone Montana praised Ronald Reagan as a top political asset for 1968. Governors such as Oregon’s Tom McCall and New Mexico’s David Cargo said Reagan shows growing candidacy potential and could be a strong draw for either party. Reagan denied candidacy but allowed staff to explore speaking engagements and gather data on the GOP race. He indicated openness if the party presses, while staying honored by the boom. The governors noted Reagan’s stance may affect Romney and Nixon support as Rockefeller gains.
