With the appreciative applause of the Denver academicians still ringing in his ears, the President flew to Oklahoma, though Republican Governor Henry Bellmon had coolly suggested that he keep his "nonpolitical" caravan out of the state during so political a season. Paying Bellmon no heed, the President turned up at Pryor, where a federally aided industrial park is planned, and told his audience that "while America has come a long way, the best is yet to come. Change is the most constant force in our world," he said, and U.S. policy is "to make it work...
There was Oklahoma's hearty Governor Henry Bellmon, 44, running around the island of Kyushu handing out Japanese-language recipes for "Okrahoma" pecan pie. The mystified Japanese smiled politely, and finally someone pointed out that hardly anyone in Japan had ever heard of pecan pie. Well, boomed Bellmon as he wound up a U.S.-Japan Governors' conference tour, "that's all the more reason to push it. Why, man, this is virgin country for Oklahoma pecans...
Oklahoma officials were predictably angry at the blacklisting. Governor Henry Bellmon, who had campaigned on a platform of no new taxes, demanded a halt to the "blackjack tactics"-but he promised that wages would be upped despite the "disgusting, distasteful and disgraceful" action.

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. Even North Carolina's Terry Sanford, a strong Kennedy supporter, sadly admitted that "certainly President Kennedy isn't as popular in North Carolina as he was six months ago." Sanford figured he knew the reason for the President's slip in the South-Attorney General Robert Kennedy. Said Sanford: "We had it knocked before this civil rights business. If he would fire Bobby tomorrow, we'd have it licked again...
