Both Goldwater and Rockefeller groups spent more than 400 dollars to drum up support for their respective candidates...
...drum and bugle corps turned out to greet Goldwater in Littleton, N.H. (pop. 3,355). And in Lancaster, N.H. (pop. 2,392), they put together a parade too-a squad of high school boys carrying red railroad flares, followed by a shaggy pony pulling a cart containing Barry, who waved from beneath a buffalo robe.
