...Republican Governors, four already are avowed Goldwater men. They are Arizona's Paul Fannin, Oklahoma's Henry Bellmon, Montana's Tim Babcock and Wyoming's Cliff Hansen. Leaning strongly to Goldwater are four more: Colora do's John Love, Kansas' John Anderson, Utah's George Clyde and South Dakota's Archie Gubbrud. Maine's John Reed is still stringing along with Rocky. Idaho's Robert Smylie, Rhode Island's John Chafee and Oregon's Mark Hatfield have leaned to Rocky, now believe his prospects are dead, and apparently...
Oklahoma's Henry Bellmon, the lone Republican Governor at the conference, judged that Goldwater would win his state handily in an election held now.

Among those already announced against him: Kerr's son, Robert Jr., 36, an Oklahoma City attorney...
...Oklahoma, Republican Henry Bellmon captured the governorship by a hefty margin, becoming the first G.O.P. Governor in the state's history. In Kentucky, Republican Senator Thruston B. Morton decisively defeated Democrat Wilson W. Wyatt in one of 1962's most meaningful political battles. It was an uncompromising clash, without any me-too touches to blur the issues: Morton, a former G.O.P.
