...Sargent-for-Governor boomlet. It subsided quickly, but his friends expect another to develop-say, two years from now. "I don't have any current plan to run for office," he says, "but who knows what will happen in 1968 in Illinois?" He notes nonetheless that Governor Otto Kerner is finishing his second term, and only one man has ever run successfully for three terms in Illinois (Republican Richard J. Oglesby, whose last term ended in 1889). Shriver would have no residency problem; he maintains an apartment in Chicago's Drake Hotel. And thanks to his five-year...
...other year but 1964, Republican Charles Percy, 46, would almost certainly have defeated lackluster Otto Kerner for Governor of Illinois. As it was, the Goldwater debacle cost Percy the race, but established him as one of the G.O.P.'s most vigorous and attractive campaigners. Rather than wait until the next gubernatorial election in 1968 to resume his political career, the Bell & Howell board chairman announced last week that he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat of Paul Douglas, his onetime (1938) economics professor at the University of Chicago...

But Governor Otto Kerner, at the request of Chicago police, ordered 2,000 Illinois National Guardsmen into the city to stand by in armories in case of further trouble. Then Springfield. Violence then leapfrogged east to the rifle manufacturing city of Springfield, Mass. Trouble had been brewing since last month, when police arrested 17 Negroes...
...Kerner was not the only beneficiary of such feelings. Throughout the country, voters preferred the incumbent Governor or Senator, regardless of party. Incumbent Republican Governors and Senators ran an average of 17% ahead of Goldwater. At the same time, non-incumbent Republicans running against incumbent Democratic Governors and Senators ran only 1 1/2% ahead of their Presidential candidate, 1964 was not the Year of the Split Ticket; it was the Year of the Incumbent...
...first real test of voters' attitudes will come in the gubernatorial election this fall in New Jersey. Governor Richard J. Hughes, a Democrat, in many ways resembles Governor Kerner. Hughes has an unremarkable personality, is a good family man, and has done a satisfactory but not sparkling job as Governor of New Jersey. He has had (and is having) his spats with a malapportioned Republican legislature, and will probably have to push for a tax increase this year...
