July 13, 1964 | Sen. Thomas Kuchel Speaks at Republican Convention
July 13, 1964 - There was visual evidence today of the wounds left by the Goldwater-Rockefeller primary fight when U.S. Senator Thomas Kuchel made a welcoming speech at the Republican National Convention in San Francisco, his only official participation in the event.
The Californians applauded politely, and many arose, when Kuchel — who headed the Rockefeller delegation and now supports Gov. William Scranton — was introduced.
“The struggle against slavery, in all its ugly forms, remains an unfinished task,” said California’s ranking Republican officeholder.
“You can write a platform and select a nominee who will stand before the people and receive their faith. American prays that you have the courage and the vision and the wisdom to do the job.”
Applause was scattered, and none stood up for Kuchel’s departure.
