I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. —(Phil. 4:13). Today’s prayer thought is like a pattern or blueprint for har monious happy living. We can take this kind of idea, “We re fuse to be upset or unhappy about anything. Through Christ in us we are peaceful and har monious at all times and under all circumstances. We may not achieve perfect results on every occasion, but each effort strengthens us and brings us closer to our ideal.” FOR BACK - TO - SCHOOL Storybook Shoes Carry You Back-To-School In Up To The Minute Styles Designed For Outstanding Wear And Fit At Sensible Prices!

But he wouldn’t have made it if it hadn’t been for the two honest men, sen ator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Charlton Lyons, a leading delegate from Louisiana. In the late hours before the balloting, Clifton White, the field marshal extraordinary of the Ronald Reagan delegate hunt, .trembled on the verge of a spectacular break - through. For the purposes of getting the nomination, Nixon had pursued the same sort of southern strat egy that won for Barry Gold water four years ago. Last April he thought he had a huge ma jority of the southern delegates in his pocket. But Clifton White kept combing the country, chip ping off a bit here and a bit there Gradually it became ap parent to him that the latent Reagan strength in the South could become a formidable ob stacle to a first - ballot Nix on victory. The Texas delegation wasn’t solid for Nixon, and Reagan had his friends in North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. But South Caro lina and Louisiana, thought they also had many delegates who really favored Reagan, pos ed the big problem; they had chivalric southerners in key .positions who had given their word to Nixon, and they couldn’t be budged. Senator Strom Thurmond is a military man; Chariton Lyons is a gentleman of the old school. They don’t know what it is to lie. (Nor, for that matter, does Thurmond’s poli tical agent, Barry Dent.) They also refused to believe that Nixon would select a vice presi dential running mate without giving them full opportunity to approve the choice in ad vance. So, when Clif ton White’s Lieu tenants came to them, offering plausible reasons for believing that (A) Reagan would be the stronger candidate, and (B) that Nixon might make a quick jump to a national strategy to woo the Northern cities with a Vice Presidential ploy that would be unacceptable in South Carolina and (Louisiana, not to mention the rest of Dixie, Thurmond and Lyons turned deaf ears. A cynical southern er from New Orleans remark ed that White had encounter ed the only two honest politi cians in America. A flustrated worker at Regan headquarters, lacking Olif White’s infinite pa tience, remarked, with consid erable Acrimony, that “Strom Thurmond is just a stubborn old man.” So the linchpins in the Nix on pre - balloting strategic construction held. The ironic thing about it is that Thur mond, Lyons, and Dent were all part of what might be call ed the ‘Clifton White society of friends.” They had stood with him on St. Crispin’s Day in ,1964. It must have 'broken their hearts to turn him down in 1968. But they couldn’t have lived with their own consci ences if they had done other wise. When the history of the pre convention fight for the Re publican Presidential nomina tion is untangled, Richard Nix on will stand with the master 'politicians of the age. He cov ered his flanks with consum mate agility, meanwhile driv ing ahead with the rank and file of party workers every where. A centrist who was dis trusted toy the oonservaties in tois party, he had to engineer his acceptance by right wing intellectuals who might have vote power strength in 1968. Pat Buchanan, a young St. Louis newspaperman who join ed the Nnxon forces quite ear ly in the drive for the Presi dency, did much patient mis sionary work with writers, pub licists, and editors who found it difficult to rid themselves of the idea that Nixon was just another Liberal, or at least a man who would always give up more than half of the loaf to the Liberals. The intellectuals may have been sullen at times about toeing committed to Nix on when it seemed that Reagan winds might begin blowing. But they never became mutin ous. Nixon handled the Rocke feller pash by beating it back. We handled the Reagan threat by getting in on the ground floor with the more important chivalric south erners and the key conserva tive intellectuals before Clif ton White could get into the act. The lesson is an old one: if you want to be Pres ident, you must dare greatly in seeking the Job. The of fice doesn’t seek the , man, though, as Nixon has said, the tides of history and the willing man may coincide. GET A LOAD OF CASH, QUICK!
