Washington News Report Romney Moves Up As GOP Presidential Candidate Washington, D. C.?The fig ure now emerging as the dark horse hope of some moderate and eastern Republicans Is Gov ernor George Romneyof Michi gan. In two recent polls Rom ney's popularity nationally has opened eyes. In one he was rated even with Senator Barry Goldwaler and In another he was found to be even more popular than the conser vative Arizona Senator. There were national polls and many people are still waiting a while before accepting this surprise finding. If Romney can be this popu lar nationally, without having an organization or a national cam paign of any kind In progress, his potential pull among the people must be great, political observers and his supporters believe. The popularity of Romney stems from several favorable factors. He was highly success ful as a business executive In the free enterprise system ^nd thus commands respect, and Is popular, among business men. He was Instrumental In sharing profits with labor and this makes a favorable Impression with workers. His views are not too widely known, so as to stir undue an tagonism at this stage. He has a pleasant, fresh per sonality and a winning smlle ln other words he seems to have other appeal. He seems to personify the man In the middle for many Republi cans, neither too conservative nor too liberal, and he comes from the middle section of the country. If Romney gets support from such prominent Republicans as former President Dwlght D. Elsenhower and possibly Rich ard Nixon, e* Vice President, his dark horse drive might gath er lrreslstable momentum. However, it Is In the field of delegate votes that Romney may need help If he Is to suc cessfully wage a victorious, dark horse campaign. Here Sepator Barry Goldwater is a heid of him. Goldwater, tour ing ten states, to help strength en his campaign, will be ahead of all other Republican candi dates for some time to come, most political experts believe. In 1952 Eisenhower had popu lar support but the late Robetf Taft had the larger number oi pledged delegates, even a fev weeks before the conventior opened. Romney may face th? same kind of delegate obstacle, for he is a late comer, through he could pick up delegat< strength fast if prominent Re publicans gave him their en dorsement and if delegates be gin to conclude that he could defeat President Kennedy. In any event, it looks like the anti-Goldwater drive Is beginning to center around Romney as the most logical and the most appealing per sonality In the GOP.
