...expect crosses to be burned in the hinterland, but the preachers will be talking and so will their congregations." Humphrey's backers have already made a less-than-subtle move with a campaign song, I'm Gonna Vote for Hubert Humphrey, which, the instruction sheet notes, is sung to the tune of the spiritual, Give Me That Old Time Religion...
