...locking the mailbox, the only way a Pennsylvanian can ignore this fall's cacophonous gubernatorial campaign is by clearing out of the state. In one of the nation's most flamboyant and free-spending races, Democrat Milton J. Shapp, 53, and Republican Lieutenant Governor Raymond P. Shafer, 49, by the morning of Nov. 8 will have lavished at least $3,600,000 on the cashkrieg campaign for the governorship...
Though the G.O.P. plans to spend $1,600,000 of that sum, Millionaire Shapp has made Shafer look like Scrooge. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alone, the Democrat's homely, intense visage peers out from 180 buses and 400 taxis. Along highways from the Alleghenies to the Poconos, 1,200 bright orange Shapp billboards vie with the autumn foliage; 80 radio stations play his 30-and 60-second spots ("If you liked William Penn, you'll love Milton Shapp"). Local TV stations will carry at least 300 last-minute Shapp spiels; his workers are mailing a four-color...
...Decibel Gap. By contrast with Maverick Shapp, Yale-trained Attorney Shafer is a dutiful, if undistinguished, party pro; he served two terms as a state senator before running with William Scranton-who cannot succeed himself-in 1962. While Shapp is a wispy, almost Chaplinesque figure, Shafer, son of a Protestant minister, is a craggy-faced, sandy-haired, 6-ft. 2-in. ex-athlete who won nine letters at Allegheny College to go with his Phi Beta Kappa key. Lawyer Shafer is as taciturn as Tycoon Shapp is talkative. Shafer "comes on like Mount Rushmore," as one Pennsylvanian puts...
...York City, the city council has undertaken an all-out probe of food prices; and State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz has filed suit seeking a court injunction against further milk price hikes. In Pennsylvania, where dairymen recently posted a 2?-per-qt. milk price raise, Lieutenant Governor Raymond P. Shafer, the G.O.P. candidate for Governor, persuaded them to roll back to the old 28?-qt. line until such time as the State Milk Control Commission could hold hearings to determine "a fair price." Last week the commission started its hearings-whereupon some 200 dairymen stomped out and set up picket...
Lieutenant Governor Raymond Shafer, the Republican candidate, spent only $239,000, chiefly because, as the choice of Governor William Scranton, he never had opposition serious enough to warrant the expenditure of really large funds. Though Shapp set a primary spending record that will probably stand for some time, big campaign expenditures are not uncommon in Pennsylvania-or, for that matter, in other parts of the U.S. Increasingly, they pose a disquieting problem for the candidate who lacks a massive bankroll...
