...warning signals had been flashing for weeks. After the 1966 civil rights bill's ignominious demise last month, it was plain that the overriding cause was white resentment over Negro rioting in the cities. In Maryland, Perennial Also-Ran George Mahoney beat out seven rivals for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination by keying his campaign to prejudiced-or frightened -whites. In Louisiana, twelve-term Congressman James Morrison paid for his moderate racial record by losing the Democratic primary election to Segregationist John Rarick, who attacked Morrison as an ally of "the black-power voting bloc...
...soft stand. It may also decide the outcome of several House races, where independent peace candidates might take votes from hard-pressed Democratic freshmen such as Michigan's Weston Vivian and New York's Lester Wolff. So far, however, no candidate of either party who ran on an antiwar platform has won. Last week, in a bitter rerun of a contested Democratic primary in a predominantly Jewish and Italian-American district in Manhattan, five-term Congressman Leonard Farbstein, who supports the Administration's Viet Nam policy, won renomination by a bigger margin than in June. In most...
Over the next decade or so, disenchantment set in. In 1952 and 1956 Reagan voted for Dwight Eisenhower, and in 1960 he campaigned for Nixon for President. And by 1962 Reagan had leaped a pole apart from his original Democratic allegiance: he campaigned for California Congressman John Rousselot, who ran-and lost-as an avowed member of the John Birch Society. The same year, Reagan was state campaign chairman for Birch Backer Loyd Wright in his Republican primary contest against moderate G.O.P. Senator Thomas Kuchel. In 1964 Reagan, as co-chairman of California Citizens for Goldwater, went on TV with...
...Letterhead. Not in California certainly. Pat Brown ran for the state assembly as a Republican in 1928, vowed on becoming Governor that he would follow the illustrious example of Earl Warren and Hiram Johnson, Republicans both. Actor George Murphy, once a New Deal Democrat, was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Republican in 1964. And Ronnie Reagan was once an outspoken Roosevelt-Truman Democrat and A.D.A. activist. As president of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, he could not believe that he was being gulled by Communist officials, as he admits today, and himself earned a reputation as a fellow...
...announced his candidacy and immediately ran into a nasty, costly primary scrap with moderate Republican George Christopher, former mayor of San Francisco. Tom Kuchel, who usually avoids involvement in state party squabbles, loudly backed Christopher in the primary, saying, "I know where he stands-which is more than I can say about Ronald Reagan." Nevertheless, Reagan won with 64% of the votes -and pulled 50,000 more than Governor Brown did in a much closer Democratic race against maverick Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty...
