...Collins ran a low-key campaign, depending on his name and his progressive record (as Governor, he modernized state government, promoted industry and tourism) to gain him the nomination. He still has the edge. If he wins the second primary, in November he will face Republican Congressman Ed Gurney, 54, a handsome, telegenic conservative...
...Texas, both Johnson and his longtime ally, retiring Governor John Connally, were set back when their gubernatorial candidate, Eugene Locke, 50, former Deputy Ambassador to South Viet Nam, ran a poor fifth in the ten-man Democratic race. With the support of both labor and the Latin and Negro minorities, Don Yarborough, 42, a liberal Houston lawyer* who was twice defeated in the gubernatorial primary by Connally, topped the Democratic ballot. But without a majority, he was forced into a runoff on June 1 with Lieutenant Governor Preston Smith, 56. An archconservative, Smith will probably gain the right-wing votes...
...warn them with shouts of "V.C.! V.C.!", but they kept going until they arrived at an empty intersection-and then it was too late. Cantwell, who was driving, tried to put the jeep in reverse.

SOMEHOW, McCarthy remained a distant, dangerous politician to the community. He hadn't visited the McCarthy in each precinct. By noon, we knew only a handful were registered voters. In one precinct, the vote ran: Branigin, 25; McCarthy, 27; area, as Kennedy had. It probably would have made much difference. Paul Newman had visited Barrington and received a cool reception. The people couldn't be talked out of Kennedy. Their reasons for voting for him had hardened. Some left he would clean up the garbage. One woman preferred McCarthy, but said she would vote for Bobby because he "quivers...
