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." But it was Lyndon's show all the way. In Democrat-heavy Brooklyn, L.B.J. lunged gleefully into the throngs that lined the motorcade route. On Staten Island, he bellowed at 3,000 partisans that Democratic programs-Medicare, antipoverty, education-had been enacted over the opposition of fearful Republicans. "Afraid, afraid, afraid!" chanted Johnson. "Republicans are afraid of their own shadows and afraid of the shadow of progress"-a taunt that...
...streets, cutting off the newspaper, unplugging the radio, boycotting TV and locking the mailbox, the only way a Pennsylvanian can ignore this fall's cacophonous gubernatorial campaign is by clearing out of the state. In one of the nation's most flamboyant and free-spending races, Democrat Milton J. Shapp, 53, and Republican Lieutenant Governor Raymond P. Shafer, 49, by the morning of Nov. 8 will have lavished at least $3,600,000 on the cashkrieg campaign for the governorship...
Though the G.O.P. plans to spend $1,600,000 of that sum, Millionaire Shapp has made Shafer look like Scrooge. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alone, the Democrat's homely, intense visage peers out from 180 buses and 400 taxis. Along highways from the Alleghenies to the Poconos, 1,200 bright orange Shapp billboards vie with the autumn foliage; 80 radio stations play his 30-and 60-second spots ("If you liked William Penn, you'll love Milton Shapp"). Local TV stations will carry at least 300 last-minute Shapp spiels; his workers are mailing a four-color...
Innovations. In his battle to hold the First Congressional District-covering the eastern half of Cincinnati and Hamilton County-Gilligan bucks more than Taft tradition. He owed his election two years ago to the Goldwater debacle and is only the third Democrat to be elected from the district in this century.* The first two were retired after one term. And Bob Taft, 49, has more impressive credentials than his illustrious name. Elected four times to the Ohio house of representatives, where he served as the Republican floor leader, he won his first statewide race in 1962 to become Congressman...
Taft does not belittle such blessings. Nor can he match Democrat Gilligan's forceful, witty platform style. So day after day for the last eight months, Taft has plodded through bowling alleys and shopping centers, meeting the voters and doggedly trying to erase the touch of aloofness in his image that he inherited from his father along with a pleasant, bespectacled phiz. "No Taft for four generations," one of his aides observed, "has campaigned like this." Oddly, there is a shortage of clearly defined issues between the adversaries. Though they have exchanged many words over Viet Nam, both support...
