Nixon told cheering admirers tuesday his overwhelming Success in new Hampshire meant a Victory atthe Republican convention in August and a far greater Vic tory in  Nixon who for Days had Bee trying to get out the Republican vote in new Hampshire by Bill ing the primary As a contest be tween himself and president Johnson was jubilant Over his landslide Victory which helped erase his image As a two time loser.
