Nixon is political arsenic
Continued from Page 1
Nixon in any public service.
Like many other successful
candidates, Dickinson and
Martin rode out the
Republican election disaster of
1974 by divorcing themselves
from the Nixon image that
brought defeat to party
loyalists who supported the
former president until the
bitter end.
Since then, more and more
Republican candidates, as one
Washington source put it, have
learned to treat Nixon like
“political arsenic.”

the newest new Nixon on his
side? From New York to Ohio,
from Florida to North Dakota,
the overwhelming response to
Nixon’s re-emergence has been
even-tempered dismay, a
definite “not in my district and
not in my party.”
Like many Republicans,
Rep. Ralph S. Regula, an Ohio
moderate whose district is
ringed by Democrats, still
praises the Nixon foreign
polity record but cannot forgive
the ex-president’s failure to act
decisively at the beginning of
the Watergate scandal.

country has ever seen,” Regula
said. “He could been a hero,
but he was stupid. He gave the
staff the impression they could
do as they pleased and he never
stopped it. He should have
fired them all right from the
start.”
What would he do if Nixon
supported his re-election
campaign? “It he were to come
to my district, 1 would find
any excuse to be somewhere
else. I wouldn’t want to be
