Nixon Campaigns in Richmond.
(WSLS Television, Roanoke, VA)

While on a campaign tour, vice president Richard Nixon spoke to a large crowd in Richmond's Capital Square on October 3. Nixon derided the Democratic Party's platform as more costly than the Republican plan in both money and potential freedoms. He urged the audience to compare the Truman and Eisenhower administrations so they would see the difference between Republicans and Democrats: "They talk a good game but we do a good game." Nixon specifically mentioned the Republican record on building schools and hospitals, and raising real wages. According to the web site, the footage was from October 3 but aired on October 4.
