Kupferman and Lehman concur on virtually every major question, from bombing North Viet Nam (they oppose it) to abolishing the House Un-American Activities Committee (in favor). Both candidates fit the liberal, independent mold dear to the hearts of 17th District voters.

Announcing that "I prefer land to niggers," he marched into the territory, developed it with his own money, policed it with his own troops and, on the basis of a royal charter granted his British South Africa Co., gave it a government traditionally free of direct London rule...
