However, I like you, am overjoyed over-joyed that the long, bellicose and bitter campaigns have come to a close. For the most part, they were tiresome and boring. The process is far too long drawn out. , Before the advent of the airplane, air-plane, radio and television, there was perhaps some excuse for the long campaigns. Formerly For-merly it took considerable time for the Presidential candidates to "get around" to all of the states and major cities. But not any more. Now, regardless of where the American people livef they may see the candidates and hear them wherever they happen to be at the time.

Senator Goldwater carried - his - home - state, - Arizona and five states in the solid South for a total of 52 electoral and 25,000,000 popular -votes. The magnitude of the Democratic Demo-cratic sweep is strikingly shown by the following fact: In 1960 President Kennedy nosed out Richard Nixon by a scant 15,000 popular votes. President Johnson's plurality over Senator Sena-tor Barry Goldwater was approximately ap-proximately 15 million popular votes.

The neighbor girl (LaVina Wigginton) gets into the act and the Shermers (Nancy (Nan-cy Makin and Jeff Fox) attitudes atti-tudes don't help.
