0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Too high.- Here he is now. What do you think of him?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Mr Humphrey, I hope you get the luck. - Thank you so much, my friend. - Yes, sir.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01So you'll come on down to the White House, have a cup of coffee? OK!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Have a little schnapps!- Good!

0:02:43 > 0:02:46The big handshake. The big rally.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49The wild race across the landscape searching out voters.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53All repeated endlessly for days and weeks and months.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57These are the ordeal and the exhilaration of the US presidential candidate.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03And in the entire campaign nothing is wilder than the battle of an important state primary,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07fought in every town and precinct, with the prospect that the candidate
0:03:07 > 0:03:10might be knocked out of the nomination if he loses,
0:03:10 > 0:03:15but even if he wins his victory might count for nothing at the convention.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21Now, travelling along with them, hot on the heels of two fast-moving
0:03:21 > 0:03:25presidential hopefuls, you are about to see a candidate's view of this
0:03:25 > 0:03:30frantic process, and an intimate view of the candidates themselves,
0:03:30 > 0:03:36in their cars and buses, behind the scenes in TV studios and hotel rooms,
0:03:36 > 0:03:42excited, exhausted and tensely awaiting the verdict of the voters.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46The names could be Taft, Willkie, Kefauver,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51the time any election year, the place any of several key states.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53This happens to be 1960.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29If we, uh...
0:05:29 > 0:05:34If we can hold the darts till the speaker is retired.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Campaigning is hazardous enough.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39But, uh, we want to express our appreciation
0:05:39 > 0:05:41to all of you for coming here today.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I think it is a fair question,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48as to why I should campaign really in a sense since last summer
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and most intensively since the first of January
0:05:51 > 0:05:54in only one of 50 states.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Well, I think the reason for that is a quite simple one.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01This is one of the few states in the United States which permits
0:06:01 > 0:06:05the people themselves in primaries to participate in the election

0:06:25 > 0:06:31on small nuclear arms testing that the president might agree to.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Thank you. Hello. Thank you very much.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Good luck to you.- Thanks a lot for coming over today.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Are you going to be the next President?- Well, we're working hard.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Glad you came.- Thank you very much.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Thank you, this is a big thrill for my kids at school!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I appreciate what you folks are doing.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04SINGING ALONG TO ACCORDIONS
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Mr Mayor, and Reverends, and my friends,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I had really just finished the very last bite.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43That wonderful ham, mashed potatoes and string beans.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45And I was just beginning to enjoy it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, we have a surprise for you this afternoon.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51We're very fortunate this afternoon to have in our studios right now
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Senator Hubert Humphrey from Minnesota. How are you, Senator?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm just fine and I've had a wonderful reception
0:08:58 > 0:09:00downtown on the streets of Tomah.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's been one of the most enthusiastic and pleasant I've had.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Well, that's very fine.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08How long do you intend to be in our fair city?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Well, Tom, I am not going to be here nearly long enough.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16And my good friend Senator Eugene McCarthy, I understand, is really plugging for you too.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The senator's wife, Abigail,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23and my wife were raised in the same little town, Wabasha, Minnesota. You probably don't know where that is.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think both you and Gene McCarthy outmarried yourself.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31I'm sure they're both... I know that Abigail's a wonderful woman.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I wouldn't be surprised. Well, Senator, now that you're here,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37and of course our community in this area is strictly farm community...
0:09:37 > 0:09:42You'll see Al's Choppers to name just a few, so, if it's farm implements you want,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45stop in at the Mac Implement Company of Camp Douglas,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49your tractor implement dealer in this area. They're waiting to serve you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, I'll be very frank with you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53The question has been asked me
0:09:53 > 0:09:57if I think that Senator Kennedy will...er...be...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00out of the election, in other words will not win the election.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03To be very frank with you, gentlemen,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06the impression I gather at the end of the round is the answer is yes,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I don't believe that he can win in the primary in Wisconsin.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Senator Hubert Humphrey will be defeated
0:10:12 > 0:10:15in the primary election in the state of Wisconsin
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts
0:10:18 > 0:10:20will win the primary in our state.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm Senator Humphrey. Pleased to meet you. Let me give you my card.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Nice to see you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I'm Senator Humphrey, just stopping by to say hello.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46OK. And how are you today? I'm Senator Humphrey.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Is this your boy here? - This is my boy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52How do you do? Hello, son. Good boy.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54What have you got - a lot of money?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Say, that's just what I need for my campaign. Can I have that?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I'm running short. - This is just play money.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, it's just play money? Well, that'll maybe work.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07I'll give you one of these. Nice to see you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I hope you'll be at the election booth tomorrow.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11April 5th.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And my name is Humphrey.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- What's your name?- Bill Meyer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- And this is...?- Mrs Meyer. - Good. Thank you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06and tell her hello from Senator Humphrey.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Hello, there. How are you, young lady?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- And how are you?- I'm fine.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Are you working for Humphrey? - Yes, I am, but I'm not voting.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- No, but you're going to work for me? - Yes.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Yes.- OK. Fine. Good.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29If I can have you girls working for me, we'll win hands down.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32That's right. I want you to do that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46You tell the folks to vote for Senator Humphrey.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50How are you? Here you are.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52You take that home to your folks, will you?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'll try. - LAUGHTER
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Senator Humphrey. How are you?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I talk to the people that vote.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- But you didn't know about this? - No, siree.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Now, just one more thing.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Could you swing your body a little bit more to the camera?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- It's different for the rest of our states in Minnesota.- That's right.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I don't think there are many parts of Minnesota....
0:15:16 > 0:15:17INDISTINCT
0:15:17 > 0:15:21They are the most beautiful parts of Wisconsin.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22They're very, very beautiful.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56Now the news.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59A political bombshell has been set off in Wisconsin.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03The president committee threw its weight behind Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06This brought a strong reaction from the Kennedy camp.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The Missouri senator, however,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12is said to have had nothing to do with the action of the committee.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'll send you all some stuff.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Two weeks, this will be green.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Because the snow brings with it a great amount of nitrogen for the soil.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- That's right. - And that fertilises it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45INDISTINCT
0:17:55 > 0:18:00I have much more identification as an individual in Congress
0:18:00 > 0:18:02than my friend Jack does.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Jack's identification with Congress has been through labour.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Labour legislation.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13My identification is with the UN, asylum,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18foreign policy, not just most recent dates,
0:18:18 > 0:18:24but since I've been with the areas of social welfare legislation.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27But I agree that you don't project this necessarily.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30This is the heart of Senator Humphrey's strength.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33The farm areas of Wisconsin, close to the border of Minnesota.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And though he likes to discuss everything
0:18:35 > 0:18:37from farm policy to disarmament,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41here there is only one issue to test the skill of an orator.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Pretty good, huh? Well, that's sorted.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25How many Swedes?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Have you got a few of them, too?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I still have my cup of coffee here.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37After all, I've got a couple of Norwegians over here, you see.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Since I'm only half Norwegian, they only gave me half a cup.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And I wanted to finish it off.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Anyway, when you're out speaking as I have been, once in a while,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52a good cup of coffee sort of braces you up for the next meeting.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Gentlemen, I am one of the candidates
0:19:57 > 0:20:01in your Wisconsin presidential primary race.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07We're going to have an election here, Tuesday April 5th,
0:20:07 > 0:20:13and this election is of course a very important one in terms of your state.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Now, my friends, during my service to the United States Senate
0:20:17 > 0:20:19of 12 years,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I have given more time, more attention,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26to matters of agriculture, than any other one subject.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Senator Humphrey is not out here just to please you by these comments.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I say that Wisconsin
0:20:37 > 0:20:43has lost hundreds of millions of dollars of sales.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I say that the businessmen of Wisconsin
0:20:45 > 0:20:49have lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business
0:20:49 > 0:20:52because of reduced farm income.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I charge here that not a single candidate in this primary election
0:20:55 > 0:20:57has paid any attention to the farmer at all,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59except Hubert Humphrey.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05And I make that statement without any boast or any claims.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Instead of you reading about who you want to have as president
0:21:08 > 0:21:13in Life magazine, you want to take a good look at them in the flesh.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You want to hear what they've got to say.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Because let me tell you something,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Life, Time, Fortune, Look and Newsweek
0:21:19 > 0:21:22don't give a hoot about your dairy prices.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And I know. They laugh at you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I've been down to their editorial boards, some of them,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33and I'll tell you they have no more appreciation of a farmer's problem
0:21:33 > 0:21:38than they have of what's going on on the other side of the moon.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Frankly, they don't know the difference
0:21:40 > 0:21:42between a corncob and a ukulele.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I can tell you that my votes aren't very popular sometimes
0:21:47 > 0:21:49in New York City, or Boston,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53because back there, what they want,
0:21:53 > 0:21:59when I read the editorials, the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe,
0:21:59 > 0:22:05New York Times, they want a price support programme that's lower.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08They say that the farmer is being subsidised,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11and they look at Hubert Humphrey's record, and they say,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14"This fellow, Humphrey, he's from the Midwest,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16"he's just for those farmers."
0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's what they say. They are right. I am.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21But I am not, if you please,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24for a farm programme that will destroy agriculture.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I think Benson's farm programme is insane!
0:22:29 > 0:22:30And I'll guarantee you one thing,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33if I get to be president of the United States,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I will buy that man a ticket personally
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and send him right back to Utah where he ought to live all the time.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40APPLAUSE
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Thank you very much for letting me speak to you,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51you've been a fine and a good audience.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Good luck. Safe journey home.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55We're going onto La Crosse, and by the way, tune in tonight at 7.30.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We're going to have another one of those television shows.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And if you've got a question you want to ask,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03pick up the phone and call me collect.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Just pick it up and say, "I want to talk to that fellow Humphrey
0:23:05 > 0:23:07"at the TV station at La Crosse."
0:23:07 > 0:23:11And put that call through and ask me on the air.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12You can make it tough, make it real tough,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14because people like it better that way.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16They like to see me squirm.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You make it real tough and I'll try to give you a good answer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Thanks very, very much.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23APPLAUSE
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yes, sir. Good to be with you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:23:50 > 0:23:52That reminds me,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I got to get my coat out of the bags over there too.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I don't want to put on the wrong coat.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59What you have to do tonight
0:23:59 > 0:24:02is to be sure to remind these people to call person to person.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Person to person.- Rather than the collect station to station,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08because we just get all these extra calls, isn't that the idea?
0:24:08 > 0:24:14All right. Well, I gave Norman... I gave Norm...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19On this chart...
0:24:19 > 0:24:23The way this thing works is the Lieutenant Governor says,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26"Well Senator, there's been quite a lot of talk about the record.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27"What's this all about?"
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Then I say something about that I've put my campaign on the basis
0:24:30 > 0:24:34of the public issues and the record, and I've been trying to emphasise
0:24:34 > 0:24:38some of the differences that exist between the Democratic candidates.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Here for example are some.- All right. Will this be early in the programme?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Right in the beginning.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47And then you focus in, you phase right in on that,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and then when I say, "All right, now we have a telephone,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52"now we have a call here," and at that point
0:24:52 > 0:24:53when they're saying now we have a call
0:24:53 > 0:24:56you get off that and get back onto me.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57You must end about one minute.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Now, when it comes down...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Before you come to me, you might...
0:25:05 > 0:25:09INDISTINCT
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Yeah. Just joke about it.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20On the TV. Well, but you're on this show now.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Just take about 30 seconds to tell us where you've been,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24then you've got to come back to me
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and say, "Senator, I want to come on this record."
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- We want to get on those questions. - All right.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30We want Muriel to have 30 seconds
0:25:30 > 0:25:32to tell where she's been and what she's been doing.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Yes, sir. One minute. Suspense!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Senator Humphrey.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40INDISTINCT VOICE ON PHONE
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, I don't think the family farm is impractical at all.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53In fact I would say it's highly desirable.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Both economically, and more so, socially.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59The family farm has social and spiritual values to it...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You should realise that you are voting
0:26:01 > 0:26:04for the most important individual in the entire free world
0:26:04 > 0:26:08and that the welfare of our country is heavily involved
0:26:08 > 0:26:12in his good judgement, his sense, his responsibility,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14his competence, his integrity.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17His ability to meet the problems head-on.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Though I'm not certainly the president,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'm a long way from that,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I am one of the candidates.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24There are about six of us.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I therefore felt that it would be helpful if the President
0:26:26 > 0:26:30had at least my assurance, and I'm sure the other six...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35What will happen here in Wisconsin today
0:26:35 > 0:26:37will happen in the other 49 states.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49every one of the 3,446 precincts will be covered by a Kennedy worker.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The hardest thing to do in a Kennedy campaign is to properly
0:26:52 > 0:26:56harness the enthusiasm he generates.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Everyone he meets seems to like him and they all want to help.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49and there have been some complaint by the women
0:27:49 > 0:27:53that one of their dresses has been burned

0:32:30 > 0:32:32This campaign really comes to an end tonight.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I don't think there's anybody in the state of Wisconsin who hasn't
0:32:35 > 0:32:37decided how they're going to vote.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40And I must say, it is going to be a decisive campaign.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I've said on many occasions that I didn't think it was possible
0:32:42 > 0:32:47to be nominated if I were unsuccessful here in Wisconsin
0:32:47 > 0:32:49and I must say I mean it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Clem Zablocki and I sponsor a bill together, the Zablocki/Kennedy Bill,
0:32:53 > 0:32:58as he calls it, the Kennedy/Zablocki Bill, as I refer to it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04But that Bill, which you may not have ever heard about,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07provides that the Battle Act shall be amended.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10And it shall be possible for surplus food
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and surplus things that we have in this country to be made available

0:33:16 > 0:33:20SHOUTS AND APPLAUSE
0:33:20 > 0:33:22We would have passed that Bill two years ago.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25We would have passed that Bill two years ago,
0:33:25 > 0:33:29but it failed by one vote in the Senate when the President
0:33:29 > 0:33:33withdrew his support on the day the Bill was coming up to vote.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36That's how important the office of the presidency is.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39He shall determine what shall be our policy on Berlin.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43He shall determine whether we shall be at war or peace.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45This is the key office.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49And I run for the presidency because, like you,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I have strong ideas about what this country must do.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56I have strong ideas about the United States playing a great role
0:33:56 > 0:33:59in a historic moment,
0:33:59 > 0:34:03when the cause of freedom is endangered all over the world,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07when the United States stands as the only sentry at the gate,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10when we can see the campfires of the enemies
0:34:10 > 0:34:14burning on distant hills, that's what's at issue today.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18That's what we are attempting to determine in the coming months
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and years, all of us, as Americans,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23are going to be called out of the ranks.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Our courage is going to be tested and I am confident that
0:34:27 > 0:34:30we are going to give the same affirmative answer.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33That's what I think this election is about.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54'Election day.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57'The voices of the campaign begin to turn into votes.'
0:37:57 > 0:38:01MAN: I'm for Humphrey and that's who I voted for today.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I believe in the man, I believe he's sincere,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05with his Civil Rights programme
0:38:05 > 0:38:10and his progressive instinct that I think that he has.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14I think it'd be a great thing for the country if he were President.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19'A factory gate. A few last handshakes.'
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Primaries are very risky.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26But my judgement is, I never could have been nominated
0:38:26 > 0:38:29if I hadn't run in primaries, so I'm taking the risk,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31but I would say you have to keep coming up sevens.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- WOMAN:- I feel quite strongly on the religious angle of it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44I probably would not vote for Kennedy, because of the fact
0:38:44 > 0:38:48that he would have an allegiance outside of the United States.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52There is no difference, either one. Humphrey or Kennedy, there's no difference.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55We were hoping for Mr Kennedy to win today.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58We're looking forward to a win in Wisconsin
0:38:58 > 0:39:01and that will carry him right on through into November.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03This will be the start.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I feel I'm in favour of Kennedy very much.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09I think he's determined.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13My husband and I met him the other night down Wisconsin Avenue
0:39:13 > 0:39:16and I think he can give us what we need.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18And being that...
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I suppose I shouldn't say this, but being that he is a Catholic
0:39:21 > 0:39:24and we're Catholic also, I think that has a lot to do with it.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29I'm a pretty good judge of people, because I'm a cab driver.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Well, Kennedy... is more for the upper class.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37I could say he's for the Eastern class.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Like, I had Mrs Humphrey in the cab.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43The way she put herself to me was real nice.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- MAN:- I was surprised the Catholic issue didn't come up earlier
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- than it did.- Bob Kennedy has stated,
0:39:49 > 0:39:54very emphatically, that he will not be dictated by Rome...
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- They shouldn't bring religion into politics.- Very correct.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59You think they have, though?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03I look at it this way, that if he is a God-fearing man,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07be it Catholic or Protestant or Jew, I respect him for it and I certainly
0:40:07 > 0:40:12would rather have a man that was a God-fearing man than one who isn't.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14WOMAN: I believe most people that are Republican
0:40:14 > 0:40:17will be voting for Humphrey.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- WOMAN:- I think Humphrey sounded pretty good.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I really do.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Doing his chair and fighting for the working people all this time,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29and I think he's going to continue.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- WOMAN:- He's younger, I don't think he's that good-looking,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36just because his sister is married to a movie star...
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- I don't think he's good-looking. - Doesn't make him a glamour puss.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- I don't see what's good-looking about him.- No.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46He's just a glamour boy. Got a good head of hair on him.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49The Humphrey and Kennedy camps at this hour
0:40:49 > 0:40:50are almost identical.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Each side says it will win in six of the ten districts.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Each side it will win the popular vote,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and each side says it will stage
0:40:59 > 0:41:02a victory celebration some time tonight.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05The first precinct reporting in today's presidential primary
0:41:05 > 0:41:08gave Senator Humphrey 103 votes

0:41:10 > 0:41:12and on the Republican side,

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Will you ask him one question?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34What did Nixon do in the Fourth and Fifth?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36In the Fourth and Fifth, give me Nixon.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, I know, but you didn't take him down.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Pierre said it's not a correct quote.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Now that is an exact quote.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04It just says I would find it difficult to be nominated.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07If I lost here, I'd find it extremely difficult to be nominated.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14I don't care whether they print it or not.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Ignore that religious thing.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Whatever, if it breaks you wider.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59See, it makes religion to be of disproportionate importance.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03It makes it a front page story when under ordinary conditions
0:43:03 > 0:43:06it wouldn't have been even printed in the paper.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Well, it's endemic. - It is. I see it every week.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12After all, Jack came out here.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14This place was locked down for Humphrey.

0:44:03 > 0:44:04Yeah.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10All right. What's happened, of course,
0:44:10 > 0:44:13is that these Republicans are voting for maybe Nixon,
0:44:13 > 0:44:14voting from Humphrey, is that it?
0:44:21 > 0:44:23(Hi, Jerry! How are you?)
0:44:29 > 0:44:33It'd be all right if this was November you're going through this.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37You'd have liked to go through this six times, do you? Five times?
0:44:37 > 0:44:41And then November. The 9th is gone.
0:44:41 > 0:44:47The 3rd, we have a chance in, but just a chance.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50It really depends on the cross.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53The 10th, we have a chance in.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Just a chance. The 7th is quite close.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02Listen, don't let these guys get you congratulating too early.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04They run it, and then afterwards they say,

0:45:08 > 0:45:09Do they do that?

0:45:24 > 0:45:26- Oh, my God. - And then I ended up losing.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28- RADIO:- 'Polls are now saying
0:45:28 > 0:45:31'that Humphrey possibly may carry five districts,
0:45:31 > 0:45:34'but it's now clear that the chances of a Kennedy sweep

0:46:09 > 0:46:1192 for Humphrey.
0:46:11 > 0:46:1335 for Nixon?!
0:46:13 > 0:46:15That's the greatest ever!
0:46:20 > 0:46:22How you can eat is more than I know.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25Kennedy, 21,190.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30571.
0:46:30 > 0:46:35The worst we'll get...the worst we can get tonight is six to four
0:46:35 > 0:46:37with the popular vote,
0:46:37 > 0:46:40and that would end up with 20 and a half to 10 and a half,
0:46:40 > 0:46:43counting the National Committeeman for Humphrey
0:46:43 > 0:46:45and the National Committeewoman for Jack.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48So that actually the 20 and a half to 10 and a half
0:46:48 > 0:46:50would be a two to one victory to Jack on delegates.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53It would be a great victory, actually.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55The only ones who stood are the people who've been talking
0:46:55 > 0:46:57about Jack taking all 10.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01Which, er...is impossible at this point.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03I mean, here in Wisconsin.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02according to your expectations?
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Well, I was hopeful we could take six districts,
0:49:04 > 0:49:07and I think we have a good chance to do that, which would give us,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10and I hope, the majority of the popular vote,
0:49:10 > 0:49:12which would give us a very good result.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Senator, how do you feel after this exhaustive campaign?
0:49:15 > 0:49:19I've campaigned many months, but I think if we're successful,
0:49:19 > 0:49:22I've run against a very hard-working, formidable opponent,

0:49:30 > 0:49:32the heart of the Midwest next to Minnesota.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35So we've had a very long, gruelling campaign.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41The next primary, of course, is Indiana
