Additional Description

Transcription - Full

Richard Milhouse Nixon wants you to think he and his supporters are sincere believers in the civil rights plank in the Republican platform. But can you really trust them when they change their story in different parts of the country? Mr. Nixon, can you explain why Republican leader Barry Goldwater, one of your chief supporters, made this speech recently in Georgia? I think, for instance, our platform on civil rights goes too far away from states' rights, but that's the way they have to get elected in New York, so I guess we have to have that platform. If we could just cut those New York electoral votes out, we'd be all right. Why do the Republicans have a civil rights plank in their platform? Goldwater says, only to win votes in New York. John Kennedy, the Democratic candidate, is a man of integrity who stands by his party's platform everywhere in the country. Vote for John Kennedy on the Democratic ticket.
