...Goldwater might slash farm price supports and down- grade the Rural Electrification Administration helped lead to his sorry showing in the rural Midwest. Johnson almost wiped out the big G.O.P. margins traditional in downstate Illinois. He carried some rural areas of Wisconsin by an unprecedented 60%. He took North Dakota's Ward County- which had gone to Nixon in 1960-by a margin of 2 to 1. At the same time, Johnson also knocked down the normal Republican margins in Midwest suburban areas, even carried Missouri's suburban St. Louis County. In the Rocky Mountain states...

The Democrats won at least six of Iowa's seven seats; many of the victors were young upstarts, notably John Culver, 32, former aide to Teddy Kennedy. The Democratic phalanx marched from Maine, where at least one out of two Democrats triumphed, to Washington, where the state's congressional...
...danger signals early was Nebraska's Republican Senator Carl Curtis, himself a farmer's son. Soon after the campaign began, Curtis implored Goldwater to spell out his farm views. Barry simply issued a rehashed version of the G.O.P. platform's farm plank. Getting frantic, North Dakota's Senator Milton Young and South Dakota's Senator Karl Mundt insisted that Goldwater draft at least one major farm-policy statement, for delivery Sept. 19, at the National Plowing Contest near Casselton, N. Dak. Goldwater showed up and spoke, but said little of substantial value; Young...
