An Appreciation of Robert Morris

One of the stock arguments of conservatives in recent years has been the contention that people would gladly vote conservative if only they were “given the chance.” This comforting theory will undergo a severe test on April 19, when New Jersey Republicans go to the polls to pick a senatorial nominee. If there was ever a clear-cut choice between a gold-plated, card-carrying Liberal and an able, hard-hitting conservative, it is the choice between incumbent Senator Clifford Case and his challenger, Robert Morris.

It is tempting to dwell, in passing, on the record of Clifford Case, the man who presumes to represent New Jersey Republicanism in the U.S. Senate. But I have been asked to write an appreciation of Robert Morris, from the standpoint of one who has worked with him; and that is a far greater pleasure.
