This short rundown underlines the emptiness of the arch-conservatives' cupboard.

They simply have nothing solid in sight. They have other problems, more pressing in some ways. Fanned across the country is the army, of Gold water volunteers' mustered by F. -Clifton White and others. Most are young activists spoiling for a new right now.

It would be unwise to thwart a far-reaching industrial development -when new power and payrolls are urgently needed. On the other hand, Utah's 'water and particularly the rights of the Central Utah.

The' bound -to grow.

Ouster of Dean Burch as GOP chairman is only the first big blow. Another, predic-' will be the dawning awareness that the arch-con- servatives have no new hero to supplant Barry Goldwafer as he recedes into private life. Indeed, for these people the largest effect of the Chicago meeting may be the slowly de-. veloping shock of discovery that they not only have no new leader but also no place to direct their highly charged energies. They are not facing up to this prospect.

They are not really facing squarely anything that has happened, to them since Nov. 3. --Hours after the Republican National Committee had adjourned its Chicago sessions, a tiny band Goldwaterites, gathered 1n a dimly lit cocktail lounge, was heard playing postmortems on Burch 's removal's if somehow the situation could still be retrieved.

Not once did Mr. Johnson mention our ovowed enemy by name, and only once with a permissiveness that was closejo passivity-did he refer to the shooting war in Vietnam: "If American -lives must end, and American treasure be spilled, in countries barely know, then that is the price that change has demanded of -conviction But if the price was clear, the con- viclion was not.

The Federalists were defeated under a discredited leader and (perhaps like the modern GOP under Barry Goldwater) felt forced to regroup under another party The going was rough and one-party control of the Federal government lasted many years, but never at anytime in American history did liberals and conservatives become "brethren of the same principle."
