...Johnson is a man of many characters and complex moods. While he found just the right touch in his speech on Europe, he achieved only bathos in his lone campaign foray into Newark, N.J. Pointedly failing even to shake hands with New York Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Frank O'Connor, who is in a tight race with Nelson Rockefeller, the President crossed the Hudson to boost New Jersey Senatorial Contender Warren Wilentz, who has little hope of defeating the incumbent liberal Republican, Clifford Case...

To compound O'Connor's woes, Rockefeller's progressive record, notably an increase in the state minimum wage to $1.50, has cost the Democrats some of their customary labor support.
