MARCH OF EVENTS

JOHNSON'S VOTE CHANCII NOW LOOK "TOO GOOD"*

WHITE HOOSE RARE DEMOCRAT COMFlACfNCY

The President

Ahead by more

than 60-40?

By HKNRY CATHCART

Central Press Washinytem Writer

YtrrASHlNGTON—Word from the White House fes that PreeC* VV dent Lyndon Johnson's election chances look so good "on paper” that they’re worried. Their worry is about complacency among the rank-and-file Democrat voters. Politicians are ever aware that it takes an effort on the part of a voter to cast a ballot. He’s got to think something is at stake in order to make that effort instead at utilizing the time to his own personal benefit National opinion polls now show that John* j*. ^ .. :.J| son is running ahead of GOP presidential candidate Barry Gold water by more than a 60-40 division of the prospective vote. It isn’t that Johnson and his advisers don’t like these reports, it’s that they’re afraid it will create the impression that the election is "in the bag” and there’s no need for his supporters

to take the trouble to cast their ballots.

One poll showed that Johnson is regaining some of the voter strength in the South that he lost in the first blush of enthusiasm for Goldwater’s selection as the GOP standard* bearer. Another shows that Johnson is actual* ly ahead of Goldwater in Barry's home state

of Arizona.

Democrats are actually happy about the apparent vigor and determination of Goldwater's backers as the campaign gets underv iy. They’re counting on this kind of activity to create a desir~ for voters to go to the polls in November. Meanwhile, Johnson himself, and his vice presidential running* mate, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, are mapping an extremely vigorous- campaign of their own. Humphrey will hit the road and will stay on it virtually until election day. Johnson plans extended weekend forays via jet plane. • • • * • CHANGING TIMES—Until comparatively recently in American political history, the road to high national political office led through the governorships of the states. It was generally thought that a man with a record in Congress, having had to vote on so many controversial issues, had alienated so many voter blocs that he would be a liability on a national ticket. Apparently all this has been changed, particularly for those who are interested in setting their sights on the vice presidency. Since 1940 nine vice presidential candidates of both major political parties have been selected from the Senate. Democratic senators nominated for vice president have included Harry & Truman, Alben \V. Barkley, John J. Sparkman, Estes Kefauvef and Hubert H. Humphrey. Republicans have chosen Sens. Charles JfcNary, John W. Bricker and Richard M. Nixon. In addition, Henry Cabot Lodg* who was the GOP vice presidential nominee In 1960, had had prior service in the Senate, but was net tn that body at tho time he was nominated. Be had been rm—*9* by John P. Ken* nedy of Massachusetts. • • • • • CAMPAIGN SLOGANS—Ifli that One agate Cmpsfgn bufr tons, slogans and car stickers are flowering aQ owar the plaoa One that catches the eye is a button fVrJrwg "Re-elect Jack Valenti Veep.** Valenti Is a dees confidante, friend and aide to President Johnson and seems never to be far from the President’s

elbow.

Another reads: "Goldwater in ’64; Hot Water In '65; Bread and Water is. ’66." What is fast becoming ths official slogan of the Democratic Party can be seen all over—on buttons, ear stickers, and even stuck to the doors of properly devoted eangseoMDeo sod senaters on Capitol SUL It reads: *LBJ for ths USA.” subscribetoIthe - BANNER^
