We may note, for one thing, the explosive growth of the suburbs and their army of homeowning, taxpaying voters who do not want handouts from Government, but who do want restraint on Government spending. In the 1970 census, for the first time in cur history, the suburban population outstripped in total size the population of the central cities. Repeated election results show these suburban voters can be successfully appealed to by a Republican Party which stands for economy in Government and low taxes. We may note as well the complementary fact that members cf labor unions are more and more susceptible to conservative appeal on economic as well as law and order" grounds. Much of the suburban population explosion involves members of unions, and cn AFL-CI-O survey in the late 1930s disclosed no less than 50 percent of the unions members LOWEST PRICE EVER! now live in the suburbs, and that os economic status and place of residence have changed so have political attitudes. Anyone who works with union members on a regular basis can testify to this alteration from his own experience. The political opportunities for an effective conservative appeal presented by this change are truly enormous. These demographic generalizations are fully supported by recent surveys of public opinion. Americans are up in arms against excessive spending, welfarism,, and taxation to the point where seven out of 10 would sympathize, with a tax revolt and Louis Harris surmises that 2-t- o-l self-designa- Hie prevailing mood of New Deal days . . . has now reversed almost 180 degree. That conclusion is underscored by the surveys of Dr. Gallup, which show' the level of popular anxiety over big government as the biggest threat to the coun- try In the future" more than tripled dur- ing the decade of the 1960s from percent in 1960 to 49 percent in 1967. 14 Yesl These beautiful bookcases, desks and cabinets solidly constructed, completely finished . . . grooved and glued to prevent wobble.

The hope of conservatism, and of the Nation in turn, rests not in supporting the Presidents liberal policies but in opposing them through all effective and proper political means. There will be criticism of any course of action which criticizes this admlnstra-tio- n, even I fear, from many who nonetheless know that the future of our party and of the Nation demands our earnest efforts to reassert our basic historic party mandate, our principles, platforms, and promises. Recall the words cf a great man who properly noted not too long ago: Robert A.

The lessons to be drawn and the course conservatives of policy for rank-and-fi- le are nonetheless clear. It Is apparent first of all that conservatives do have the power even now to alter the conduct of our Government for the better if they will use it. Exercise of that power depends an throwing off the delusion that the Harris and Gallup surveys likewise reveal a steady Increase In explicitly conservative sentiment in the country. In the wake of the 1968 election, Harris found his respondents choosing the desconservative" to describe ignation themselves by a margin over the designation liberal 38 to 17 percent. In the spring of 1970, Gallup found for the first time in 30 years that the conservatives in his poll results far outdistanced the self -- designated liberals. In Gallups Inquiry, the conservatives outstripped the liberals by a margin of 52 to 34. Such data, taken together, present a major opportunity to the Republican Party and the conservative cause. With effective leadership they could be molded into a powerful political majority, and it was widely assumed that the President as politician would sense this fact ami act to assemble the constituent elements of the latent new majority. The result of such leadership could well have been a period of conservative and Republican ascendancy to match the Democratic era that followed upon the victory of Franklin Roosevelt.
