...shocking surprise, St. Lawrence upset powerful Michigan Tech, 4-1. Tech came back to edge the Larries and Clarkson by one-goal margins, but the Klondike sextets showed they will be tougher than ever in their upstate New York bailiwick, where the Crimson heads in two weeks...
Flunking Freshmen. In Hubert Humphrey's bailiwick of Minnesota, Republicans profited from the Democratic Farmer Labor Party's decay and disarray. Beleaguered by intraparty strife and a state insurance scandal, Democratic Governor Karl Rolvaag was toppled by Republican Moderate Harold LeVander, 56, a St. Paul attorney and onetime law partner of Harold Stassen's. Swedish-descended son of a Lutheran preacher, LeVander is a stem-winding speaker who has delivered more than 200 high school commencement addresses with such galvanizing titles as "Rise Up and Build" and "You Have Singled; Now Score...
Plunging zealously into Bobby's bailiwick, the President campaigned with Kennedy at his side, even heralded him as "one of the greatest Senators in all New York history."

...give Rawlings more than an outside chance of overcoming Judge Smith's longtime reservoir of respect and affection. Admitting that what he calls "the dinosaur vote" is still strong in Smith's bailiwick, Rawlings hopes that the district's increased Negro vote may prove the decisive factor-as it could in the other two races. Statewide, 61,096 more Virginia Negroes are enfranchised than in 1964, increasing total Negro voting strength to 205,000, or 19.7% of the Old Dominion's 1964 election turnout. The increase is particularly significant in Virginia, since for years less than...
