Barely 2$ hours after the polls closed, commentators on two of Cleveland's TV and radio stations confidently predicted that incumbent Mayor Ralph S. Locher would win the Democratic Party nomination for another term. That seemed reasonable enough, since, with 70% of the ballots counted, the three-term mayor had a 10,000-vote edge over his closest opponent, Carl B. Stokes, a Negro. Yet within ten minutes, articulate, kinetic Stokes went before the TV cameras and confidently-and correctly-predicted his own victory in the primary. When it came, a short time thereafter, he exulted to Cleveland voters...

Vote of Confidence. Solid victories were awarded to such veterans as Volpe (63% of the vote), Case (62%), Maine's doughty three-term G.O.P. Senator Margaret Chase Smith (59%), Delaware's Republican Senator Caleb Boggs (60%), and West Virginia's Democratic Senator Jennings Randolph (59%).

Addressing a Saturday night rally of campaign workers, the candidate could not resist a word of praise for his daughter. "Valerie," he said, "is my best precinct worker." Charles Harting Percy was not simply indulging his paternal pride. In his hard-hitting campaign to unseat Illinois' three-term Democratic Senator Paul Douglas, 74, comely, honey-haired Valerie Percy, 21, a June graduate of Cornell, proved one of Chuck Percy's doughtiest aides. With sunny enthusiasm that made the task seem effortless, she recruited and coordinated hundreds of youthful Percy-for-Senator volunteers, helped set up 22 campaign centers...
...Illinois' senatorial primaries, Republican Charles Percy, 46, won easily. In nearly complete returns, he amassed 502,421 votes to 56,328 for two minor rivals, while three-term Democratic Senator Paul Douglas, 74, unopposed, picked up 747,896 votes. Too many imponderables make predictions risky, but the new vigor of the Daley machine will not make things easier for Charles Percy...
