First, though, High must face the Republican candidate, Jacksonville Investment Banker Claude Kirk, 40. Florida's lopsided Democratic registration makes Kirk the decided underdog, but he is highly personable, and proved his vote-getting talent two years ago by polling an impressive 562,212 votes against Democratic Senator Spessard Holland. And as Burns can testify, Florida voters are prone to swing...
...blotting letters on every desk, quill pens available on demand. The Senate roster also still retains a collection of first names not to be found in any other body and surpassing even the cast of characters in a 19th century novel-Ross, Birch, Caleb, Gordon, Norris, Hiram, Bourke, Lister, Spessard, Roman, Gale, Thruston, Claiborne, Winston, Leverett, Strom, Harrison.

Florida (14): Goldwater looked like an easy winner. Then he criticized social security in a state full of retired people, derided the moon race despite heavy U.S. space-spending in Florida. Democratic Senator Spessard Holland, up for reelection, is working hard for Johnson. That, plus a 283,000 Negro registration, up 115,000 from 1960, should give L.B.J. a slim lead...
