THE 1964 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: DO YOU KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES?
As Americans prepare to go to the polls November 3, hopefully more than two-thirds of eligible voters that exercised this precious privilege in 1960 we offer close views of both Candidates and what they stand for.
Republican standard bearer Barry Goldwater is seen at mammoth rallies and whistle-stops during tens of thousands of miles that he has traveled since Labor Day to bring the issues of civil rights, control of nuclear weapons and the charges of slackening morality and softness toward Communism.
Goldwater’s children and his wife are also shown meeting voters in a campaign notable for family participation by the Candidates. Senator Goldwater gives his own summations of his qualifications for the highest office in the land.
Meanwhile, President Lyndon B. Johnson takes to the campaign trail with the verve of an old campaigner. To the dismay of the Secret Service, he insists on mixing with the crowds. He has shaken so many hands, he has his own in bandages.
Day in and day out, he hammers away at what he calls Goldwater’s nuclear irresponsibility and his oft-repeated theme is unity and continuity with a Democratic President.
The First Lady as well as Luci and Lynda Bird have also hit the campaign circuit. The girls presiding at barbecues, Mrs. Johnson whistle-stopping through Dixie. |
