Negroes Nix Goldwater In Westchester
Negro Republican leaders in
Westchester County have inform-
J.the GOP County leaders that
the selection of Arizona Senator
Barry Goldwater would be "un-
icceptable” as a Presidential
candidate next year and have
urged that the county officials
;eek a candidate morg accept
able to Negroes.
The opposition to Goldwater
was pressed by five Negro lead
ers, W. Reuben Goring, Joseph
H. Evans, Paul Dennis, Charles
Littlejohn, and Robert Watkins,
who call themselves the Ele
phants of Westchester, during a
Leader Edward Michaelian.
The group presented Michael
ian with a . strongly - worded
resolution which asserted that
Goldwater and his sponsors are
seeking support from the South
and that he would accept only a
platform “which would Jj>e ap
proved by his southern supporters
which on its face would be in
complete reverse to the funda
mental Republican principles
adopted and carried out since
the birth of the party.”
Sense Mood
The resolution, the first of its
kind by a Negro Republican
group in the state, stated that
GOP leaders had sensed the mood
of Negro Republicans in West
chester, and found the designa
tion of Goldwater to be “unac
ceptable to us and to the Negro
population of Westchester.
The leaders called upon the
GOP county officials of West-,
Chester "to effectuate any honor
able means to select a candi
date more acceptable to the Ne
groes of the United States as
well as to those people who per
sonally support ,lrue and honor
able Republican principles as ad
vocated by Abraham Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt.”
