with real meat and a blend of peas and carrots i can see. a totally new kind of awesome going on here! (avo) new beneful simple goodness. tender, meaty morsels with real ingredients you can see. by the time we got to the republican convention in 1968, richard nixon had done very well
heal the divisions in this party in terms of the november election. it s my judgment that hubert humphrey starts out an underdog. nixon could be gleeful about trumping his enemies and it gave him great joy to go to chicago to begin his campaign in the very place where the democratic party had been humiliated by a riot. stand up and let s strike the band up here comes richard nixon, the uniter, coming through the city of chicago like a roman emperor and being cheered by tens of thousands and harassed by no one. so it looks like this would be the fellow that can unite the country. humphrey s in an impossible situation. he s associated with the chaos of the anti-war movement because of what happened at the convention.
this was going to be a place where there were going to be put in their place. no one will be able to take over the convention hall or streets of chicago. mayor daley exercised such control over the city, you couldn t even get near the convention center where the convention was being held. so basically all you could do was protest in the major hotels in the loop area where delegates were staying. peace groups are demanding permission to march on convention hall the night the democrats nominate their candidate for president. the city says, no, that would endanger security. there s a possibility of mass arrests unless the city allows the demonstrators to camp out in public parks. there is nowhere else for them to stay. i think it s in their best interest to let us sleep in the park instead of roam the streets at night. boy scouts could sleep overnight in the parks, but not hippies. there s no other place to sleep. so we knew if you re going to drive people out of the parks, they
mayor daley wanted to show off how he turned into a modern show place. it chicago loves size, scale. one hotel brags it has more flush toilets under one roof than any other building in the world. daley s administration was absolutely committed that in his city, this was not going to be a place where protesters were going to have a platform. this was going to be a place where there were going to be put in their place. no one will be able to take over the convention hall or streets of chicago. mayor daley exercised such control over the city, you couldn t even get near the convention center where the convention was being held. so pabasically all you could do was protest in the major hotels in the loop area where delegates were staying. peace groups are demanding permission to march on convention hall the night the democrats nominate their candidate for president. the city says, no, that would endanger security. there s a possibility of mass arrests unless the city allows the
one of the key things that nixon did was to build a network of support among political leaders that would be respected by southerners. strom thurmond, for example, of south carolina. all that we could ask for is somebody who would just and fair and treat the south like the other sections of the country. strom thurmond had been a democrat but he had left the democratic party because of the civil rights act. the race is between mr. nixon and mr. rockefeller. and i would prefer mr. nixon. i think he would be better for the whole country. convention will come to order. 1968 is the last presidential year in which it was possible to run for president without entering any primaries. ronald reagan showed up in miami beach, gave a press conference and said, i m running for president. yes.
