Despite the sprawling expanse of Southern California, candidates in the California primary were almost as plentiful on the streets last week as palm trees. The Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Attorney General Edmund Gerald ("Pat") Brown, roamed Los Angeles, pressing hands and arguments. Both G.O.P. senatorial candidates, Governor Goodwin J. Knight and San Francisco Mayor George Christopher, pulled into town, and their Democratic opponent, Congressman Clair Engle, hopped from one airport to the next in a red and blue Cessna 310. G.O.P. Gubernatorial Hopeful William Fife Knowland flew out from Washington for a picnic in Riverside County, and his womenfolk bussed from...
Actually there was little doubt about the nominees in next week's primary: Knowland had no opposition; Brown faced only an obscure San Francisco businessman; Clair Engle had a sharp edge over a 28-year-old Democratic unknown named Fritjof Peder Thygeson, and Goodie Knight would doubtless weather George Christopher's worst insults.

Last week the Pasadena Independent quoted Goodie Knight telling just exactly how he feels about his prospective running mate on California's Republican ticket. Said Knight...
...Senator Bill Knowland is a politically ambitious man. He wants to be President. In order to beat out Dick Nixon for the nomination in 1960, he decided to come back here and run for governor. If he could beat out a popular governor [i.e., Knight] in the primary and then lick the most popular nominee the Democrats could put up [i.e., California's Attorney General Edmund G. Brown], he figured he would be almost invincible as a candidate for the presidential nomination...
