THE COMPARISON
Newspaper writers love cliches.* An apt phrase, once established, will appear repeatedly i» editorals and news columns.
Inevitably, the two millionaire contestants in New York’s gubernatorial race were dubbed th® “golden boys,” and form that time on, no reporter feels he is doing justice to a story of Harriman vs Rockefeller unless he sticks in the term “golden boys.” From a newspaper reporter,a standpoint, the race is a “natural.” Never before have two men run for high office that were so similar in a most unusual way. Both are multimillionaires. Neither worked to amass his fortune, each " having inherited the same. Both claim to be for the working man, and are, of course, avowed “liberals”, despite their immense wealth. M A ,. The thought occurs to us .however; that one startling similarity has been overlooked in drawing comparisons between the “golden boys.” Governor Harriman, as a candidate representing a great national party, the Democrats. ancLNelson Rockefeller, as a candidate representing another great national party, the Republicans, have exactly the same platform. There is no difference. The voters are |4IC dAIUC piOWUl uit * v not being offered a choice of political ^* economic plulosophies.
