...spent little for newspaper ads or TV time. Archsegregationist Jim Johnson, a two-time loser for the governorship and Fulbright's most visible foe, proved as inept as he was intemperate. Running against Fulbright's opposition to the Viet Nam war, Johnson branded the Senator a traitor and a coward. So virulent was Johnson's campaign that Arkansas Negroes, though well aware that Fulbright has never voted for a major civil rights bill, had nowhere else...
...centered on Wehner. Last March, outside the hall in Nürnberg where the Socialists were holding their convention, a mob of young party dissidents attacked Wehner, loosening a tooth and knocking off his glasses. Since then, hecklers have hounded him at nearly every speech with cries of "Labor traitor" and "Fascist." Erupting in fierce outbursts, Wehner has replied in kind, calling his detractors "Communists," and warning that their leftist attacks against the party's moderate policies would only encourage the growth of the new rightist extremists. "As you bellow into the German forest," he declared repeatedly, "so will...

He hotly denied that he had ever called Kennedy, one of his favorite politicians, a traitor. He said that he had never referred to the atom bomb as "Mr. Big," or advocated its use anywhere. He conceded that he had been "overoptimistic" about the "timing" of events in the Viet Nam war, and promised not to get trapped into making such predictions again. But he stuck...
Although Kuchel is a formidable vote getter, his opponent in the June 4 Republican primary racked up a thumping vote himself when he was re-elected Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1966. Rafferty, an ultraconservative, is trying to unseat the liberal Kuchel by branding the G.O.P. Senate whip a traitor to the party. Item from a pamphlet claiming Kuchel sided with Democrats 61% of the time: "Would you have voted for the wasteful war-on-pov-erty programs and Great Society welfare schemes?" Rafferty is a man of harsh rhetoric who spatters his speeches with attacks on filth, flapdoodle...
