Bricker: Great era near
Los Angeles, California (UP) –
Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio will arrive today for a 36-hour visit to wind up the West Coast lap of a swing around the country to spur his nomination as Republican candidate for President.
He will deliver three major addresses and confer with Republican leaders before returning to Columbus, making a brief stopover in Phoenix, Arizona, to attend a special session of the Arizona Legislature.
Mr. Bricker, speaking before the California Republican Assembly at San Jose last night, said he was convinced that America “is at the threshold of its greatest era.”
He said:
Let us have faith that in the period ahead, America may help bring a better life and greater freedom to the peoples of the world, that the wounds of war and bitter hatreds which follow may be healed.
Earlier, in a press conference at Sacramento, Mr. Bricker said he was “shooting at the top” and would not be satisfied with being Vice President.
