...Pennsylvania's Republican Senator Hugh Scott, 64, may have been mildly amused-at first. Running against him was a 51-year-old spinster named Genevieve Blatt, the state's secretary of internal affairs and a liberal Democrat addicted to flowery hats. She had won the Democratic Senate primary by a mere 491 votes. But Scott had some unlaujhing moments as he tried to hold on to his seat. A moderate Republican, he was slow to embrace Goldwater and never appeared on the same platform with him, but the Goldwater candidacy hounded him. The lead seesawed for hours, until...
...Joseph D. Tydings, 36, will follow in the path of his stepfather, Maryland's longtime Democratic Senator Millard Tydings (1927-50). A self-styled "Ken- nedy Democrat," Joe Tydings was a J.F.K. crony and appointee (U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland), had Marylander Eunice Kennedy Shriver as chairman of his "Citizens for Tydings" organization. For Incumbent Republican Senator James Glenn Beall, 70, a lackluster moderate who spent ten years in the House and another twelve in the Senate, the defeat was his first ever...
...Fred Harris was less of a name than Bud Wilkinson, the former Oklahoma University coach. But Democrat Harris, 33, had "my friend" Lyndon Johnson's 100,000-vote margin blocking for him downfield. And that, plus a good record as a state senator, was enough to stop Republican Wilkinson. Harris won with a margin of 14,000 of the state's 900,000 senatorial votes, will complete the last two years of the term of the late U.S. Senator Robert Kerr...
...John A. Volpe, 55, a former Republican Governor, campaigned with vigah in Massachusetts, claimed greater administrative experience than his rival, Lieutenant Governor Francis Xavier Bellotti, who had upset Incumbent Democrat Endicott ("Chub") Peabody in the primary. Both Italians, the candidates tried to ensnare one another in a spaghetti bowl of corruption charges and sales-tax arguments (Volpe for, Bellotti against). Volpe spun his pasta fastah, won in a close...
...candidates in six, won five. The victors: W. Jack ("Thank God for Goldwater") Edwards, William L. Dickinson, Glenn Andrews, John H. Buchanan, and James D. Martin, who in 1962 had come with-in an ace of upsetting U.S. Senator Lister Hill. All are against civil rights laws. Elsewhere, the Democratic domi nance of the South was undiminished. Florida's congressional lineup was unchanged: ten Democrats, two Republicans. So were North Carolina's and Virginia's, with nine Democrats and two Republicans each. Though their electoral votes went to Goldwater, South Carolina returned six Democrats, Louisiana eight Democrats...
