As perhaps the most prominent Negro state office holder in the nation, he employs a campaign technique that bears strong resemblance to the Kennedy style of politicking. He moves about with incredible speed, always shaking hands, always smiling broadly, and never showing the irritation that most campaigners feel and many display. As he rides along in his car, he invariably stops at street corners for brief hand-shaking sessions, and he shouts greetings from his car window to cab drivers and motorcyclists...
