Here’s footage from 1964 showing two events prior to the Republican National Convention of 1964: the appearance US presidential candidate Nelson Rockefeller and Oregon Governor Mark O. Hatfield in San Francisco. 

The clip begins with candidate Nelson Rockefeller at a rally in San Francisco's Civic Center. Nelson waves to a crowd of supporters. 

Oregon Governor Mark O. Hatfield arrives at the republican/GOP headquarters at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. Hatfield would be the keynote speaker of the Republican National Convention. He speaks to reporters after exiting a car. 

There is a wide, pan shot of the Cow Palace, an arena in San Francisco for large events, which is where the Convention would take place.  

Hatfield gives some highlights of his upcoming keynote speech to the press, speaking directly to the camera. Hatfield tells TV viewers what the Republican Party can offer American voters. The Party can offer voters: 

• A faith in the American people to govern themselves; 

• A faith in American labor and its ability to self-organize, un-thwarted by penalizing legislation; 

• A faith in the American federal system of government, allowing for states to play a role in this very system; 

• A faith in the American farmer;  

• A faith in minorities to continue to make contributions; 

• A faith in its ability to eliminate bigotry from the nation, whether the bigotry comes from the Communist Party, the Klu Klux Klan, or the John Birch Society. 

Hatfield tells us that the Republican Party is a party of faith, grounded in the basic, eternal values of the Judeo-Christian faith. 

He tells us that Americans have a choice: to choose a party of fear, or to choose a party of faith and progressive spirit. 

The clip ends with more pan shots of a Cow Palace that is filled to capacity, likely of the Republican National Convention itself.
