In Louisiana, Governor John McKeithen-a possible running mate-promised: "This delegation will be enthusiastically for Humphrey, and I will play a prominent role...

Demonstrators from the conservative British Council of Protestant Christian Churches waited for Ramsey outside the cathedral, name-calling and waving placards that accused Ramsey of "Running to Rome."
