...people in Washington are reconsidering their candidacy." Later, he urged Kennedy to "leave the primaries to me," hinted that at the convention "some kind of settlement" might be arranged. He also announced plans to enter two more primaries-in Indiana and South Dakota-in addition to those in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon and California...
...mention a goodly number of the Badger State's 70,000-odd resident students. As in New Hampshire, few of the volunteers had any political experience, and one veteran said: "Some of their instruction will have to be given on the buses."
