Taxes, taxes.

How you stay on this fish? $300.

You know what I'm paying now?

$1,408.

It's over $100 a
month I've got to make

for the Uncle Sam for it.

MAN: It's high.

Too high.

What a fool [inaudible].

MAN: That went well.

What do you think of it?

Mr. Humphrey, I hope
you got better luck.

HUMPHREY: Thank you
so much, my friend.

Yes, sir.

- Thank you very, very much.
- Sure.

You're a fire find.

I might be able to see you
tomorrow on the [inaudible].

You betcha.

I'll be listening
in the morning.

If you ever get in, I'm
going to see you, by god.

So you come on down
to the White House--

- Sure.
- --Have a cup of coffee, huh?

- Sure.
- OK.

Have a little Schnapps.

[laughter]

Good.

[train whistle]

Ah.

[music] The farmer all around
is taking a shellacking.

The money in the till is
the thing that is lacking.

Get rid of it.

[honk]

Your troubles will cease.

Put Humphrey in the White House
and use our food for peace.

Yes, vote for Hubert,
Hubert, Hubert Humphrey,

the president for you and me.

[cheering and applause]

[MUSIC - "HIGH HOPES (WITH JOHN
KENNEDY)"]

CROWD (SINGING): Jack,
Jack is on the right track

'cause we've got high hopes.

We've got high hopes.

1960's the year
for his high hopes.

Come on and vote for Kennedy.

Vote for Kennedy.

MAN: Nixon's [inaudible].

And we'll come out on top.

Oops, there goes the
opposition, ker-- oops,

there goes the opposition, ker--
oops there goes the opposition,

kerplunk.

[cheers]

WOMAN: We want Kennedy.

NARRATOR: The big
handshake, the big rally,

the wild race across
the landscape,

searching out voters,
all repeated endlessly

for days and weeks
and months, these

are the ordeal and the
exhilaration of the US

presidential candidate.

And in the entire
campaign, nothing

is wilder than the battle of an
important state primary, fought

in every town and
precinct with the prospect

that the candidate might be
knocked out of the nomination

if he loses.

But even if he wins,
his victory might count

for nothing at the convention.

Now traveling along with
them, hot on the heels of two

fast-moving
presidential hopefuls,

you are about to see
a candidate's view

of this frantic process and an
intimate view of the candidates

themselves, and their cars and
buses, behind the scenes in TV

studios and hotel
rooms, excited,

exhausted, intensely awaiting
the verdict of the voters.

The names could be
Taft, Wilke, Kefauver;

the time, any election
year; the place,

any of several key states.

This happens to be 1960.

Senator John Kennedy,
millionaire, Catholic,

easterner from Massachusetts
is challenging a Midwesterner,

Hubert Humphrey, senator from
Minnesota in his own backyard,

the state of Wisconsin.

[MUSIC - "HIGH HOPES (WITH JOHN
KENNEDY)"]

We're voting for
Jack 'cause he's

got what all the rest lack.

Everyone wants to back Jack.

Jack is on the right track
'cause he's got high hopes.

He's got high hopes.

13 cities a year
for his high hopes.

Come on and vote for Kennedy.

Vote for Kennedy.

And we'll come out on top.

Oops there goes the
opposition, ker-- oops, there

goes the opposition, ker--

[crowd chatter]

Introduce Senator Kennedy.

[cheers and applause]

[whistles]

[inaudible] If we
can hold the dogs

until the speaker is
retired as campaigning

is hazardous enough.

But we want to express our
appreciation to all of you

for coming here today.

I think it is fair question
as to why I should campaign,

really, in a sense
since last summer,

and most intensively
since the 1st of January

in only one of 50 states.

Well, I think the reason for
that is a quite simple one.

This is one of the few
states in the United States

which permits the
people themselves

in primaries to
participate in the election

of presidential candidates.

[MUSIC - "HIGH HOPES (WITH JOHN
KENNEDY)"]

He's got high hopes.

He's got high--

Kennedy Headquarters.

Mr. Racine's ready
with your call.

Go ahead.

Well, it was a letter.

It was a letter saying--
pledging themselves

to one of the
Democratic candidates

to observe any moratorium on
small nuclear arms testing

that the President
might agree to.

Thank you.

[inaudible] Thank you very much.

Hi, how are you?

Glad to see you.

MAN: Good luck to you.

Thanks a lot for
coming over today.

MAN: [inaudible] when
did you get [inaudible]?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, Nixon.

Nixon. [laughs]

Senator Kennedy.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for coming today.

Say hi to the next President.

Well, I appreciate that.

- You do a fine job.
- We're working hard.

Glad to see you, [inaudible].

Thank you very much.

How are you?

I wish you good luck.

Thanks you very much, indeed.

Thank you.

MRS. BARNEY: I--

Oh, listen, thank
you, very much.

MRS. BARNEY: I'm Mrs. Barney.

Glad to see you, Mrs. Barney.

Well, listen, you were awfully
nice to have [inaudible].

MRS. BARNEY: Well, I enjoyed it.

Oh, she's a nice girl.

She's coming back [inaudible].

MRS. BARNEY: I can't get
over how you two [inaudible].

I know.

Well, I'm glad to see you.

Thanks, Mrs. Barney.

I'll tell you since I saw you.

MRS. BARNEY: Oh, you do that.

Right. [inaudible]

WOMAN: You got it.

KENNEDY: [inaudible], Miss Rose.

Good to see you, Miss--

Thank you very much.

WOMAN: Very much.

KENNEDY: [inaudible]

WOMAN: Hopefully, I'm not.

Hi.

KENNEDY: I got your vote?

Yep.

GIRL: Mr. Kennedy, it's a
thrill to have you in here.

Yeah.

Thank you.

This is a big thrill for
my kids at school. [laughs]

KENNEDY: Oh, [inaudible].

[MUSIC - "DAVY CROCKETT (WITH
HUBERT HUMPHREY)"]

BAND (SINGING): For a very
good logger is the [inaudible].

HUMPHREY: I appreciate
what you folks

are going to say after this.

BAND (SINGING): He
will win in the end.

HUMPHREY: I know you did.

I--

BAND (SINGING): --that
made her right from wrong.

But [inaudible] and [inaudible].

Hubert, Hubert Humphrey, the
President for you and me.

He follows-up the
promises of [inaudible]

[applause]

Mayor, Reverend,
and my friends.

I had really just
finished the very

last bite of that wonderful
ham, and mashed potatoes,

and string beans.

And I was just
beginning to enjoy it.

Well, we have a surprise
for you this afternoon.

We're very fortunately
this afternoon

to have in our studio
right now Senator

Hubert Humphrey from Minnesota.

How are you, sir?

I'm just fine.

And I've had a wonderful
reception downtown

on the streets of Tomah.

It's been one of the most
enthusiastic and pleasant

I've had.

Well, that's very fine.

How long do you intend
to be in our fair city?

Well, Tom, I am not going
to be here nearly long enough.

And my good friend, Senator
Eugene McCarthy, I understand,

is really plugging for you, too.

Well, fine.

Senator's wife,
Abigail, and my wife

were raised the same little
town, Wabasha, Minnesota.

All right.

You probably
know where that is.

I think both you
and Gene McCarthy

out-married yourself, I'm sure.

Yeah.

They're both-- and I know that
Abigail is a wonderful woman.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, Senator, now that
you're here, and, of course,

our community in this are
is strictly farm community.

[inaudible] you see Alice
Joffers, to name just a few.

So if it's dependable farm
implements you want, stop

in Mack Implement
Company at Camp Douglas,

your Oliver tractor and Gale
implement dealer in this area.

They're waiting to serve you.

Well, I'll be
very frank with you.

A question has been asked me
if I think that Senator Kennedy

will be out of the
election, in other words,

will not win the election.

To be very frank with you,
gentlemen, the many impression

that I gathered in
and around this area,

is the answer is yes.

I don't believe that he can win
in the primary in Wisconsin.

Senator Hubert Humphrey
will be defeated

in the primary election
in the state of Wisconsin

and the Senator John
Kennedy of Massachusetts

will win the primary
in our state.

I'm Senator Humphrey
and pleased to meet you.

I'll give you card.

Hello.

Nice to see you.

I'm Senator Humphrey, just
stopping by to say hello.

Hello.

You betcha.

OK, and how are you today?
- Oh, very good.

Hi.
- I'm Senator Humphrey.

Hello, Senator.

- This your boy here?
- My boy.

How do you do?

Hello, son.

Good boy.

What do you got, a
lot of money there?

Say, that's just what
I need for my campaign.

Can I have that? [laughs]
I'm running short.

BOY: This isn't real money.

This is play money.

Oh, that's just play money?

Well, that'll maybe work.

All right.

I'll give you one of these.

You bet.

Nice to see you.

I hope you'll be at the election
booth tomorrow, April 5th.

And my name is Humphrey.

What's your name?

Myer, Harold Myer.

And this is Mrs. Myer.

Very good.

Thank you.

If you have as good a
judgment as politics

as you have for your
wife, I'll get your vote.

[laughter]

You'll do that.

Very good.

Bye. [laughs]

WOMAN: Thank you.

You bet.
Hello, young man.

How are you?
What's your name?

Tim O'Brien.

Glad to meet you, Timmy.

Well, I'm glad to meet you.

It's a pleasure.
- [inaudible]

Sure do.

Good to see you again.

Yeah. [laughs]

Does your hand
get [inaudible]?

WOMAN: It does.

[laughter]

[honk]

You've got [inaudible]?

Lucky man.

He's from [inaudible].

WOMAN: Twist and
shout, Miss Miller.

[laughter]

- How are you?
- Fine.

What did You do?

I slipped on the floor.

And how are you, princess?

Fine.

Take this home and
show it to your mama.

And tell her hello from
Senator Humphrey, would you?

Tell her to vote for April 5th.

OK.

Hello there.

How are you young lady?

And how are you?

Just fine.

Are you working for Humphrey?

I mean-- I mean, yes, I am.

But I'm not voting yet.

No, but you're going
to work for me, though.

Yes, work hard.

And you're going to talk
to the folks about this, huh?

- Yes.
- OK.

And your neighbors.
- Yes.

OK.

Fine, good.

Say, I'll tell you, if I can
just have you girls working

for me, we'll win hands down.

That's right.

Now, I want you to do that.

You tell the folks.

You tell daddy and mama
hello from Senator Humphrey.

How are you?
- Hi.

Here you are.

You take that home to
your folks, would you?

That's right.

[inaudible]

[laughter]

MAN: Senator, how are you?

HUMPHREY: Sir, how are you?

Let me give you one of my cards.

You folks will vote
for me, will you?

Yes, sir.

HUMPHREY: And my
name is Humphrey.

REPORTER: Don't you like to
talk to reporters, Senator?

I talk to the
people that vote.

REPORTER: Now, what about
this [inaudible] thing?

What about this?

About-- one of you
has to read it.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

REPORTER: Well, seriously,
a guy named Robert Groaner,

and he's head of
Simonson Committee.

And he got on the
box today down there.

And they a big panel show.

And he announced
that they're coming

all out for Hubert Humphrey.

Very fine.

REPORTER: Yeah, but you
don't know about this?

No, siree.

All right, sir.

Now if I can get the
Kennedy Committee for me,

we can make it unanimous.

[laughter]

REPORTER: [inaudible]
talk to him in there.

There's a lot more--
BOY: He's going vote.

He's going to vote for him.

That's wonderful.
That's wonderful.

Hello there.
MAN: Hello.

How do you do, sir?
Glad to see you.

MAN: Thanks a lot.

Let me give you
one of my cards, sir.

MAN: Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Hello.

How do you do?

Nice to see you.

I'm Senator Humphrey.

All right.
All set.

Let's go.

Ya.

At best, the fingers
are on just a touch,

Senator, just easy link.

Now, kind of intertwine
the finger a little.

There, that's it, right there.

That's it, just ease there.

And now, let's get
this whole-- a few

of my photographer
friends are Democrats.

And I like to kind
of get a [inaudible].

It's about time [inaudible].

PHOTOGRAPHER: Oh, [laughs]
you do it all by yourself.

Still OK.

A quarter of an inch--

KENNEDY: [inaudible]

PHOTOGRAPHER: About a quarter
of an inch of cuff, so he's

smart enough to [inaudible].

There, that's it.

So have the eyes just
above the camera.

That's it, fine.

Now, just one more and
you're all free here.

Could you swing your body a
little bit more to the camera

there?

HUMPHREY: So different
for the rest of our state,

you know, in Minnesota.

WOMAN: That right.

I have been criss-crossed.

I don't think very many
parts of Minnesota.

On the [inaudible]
we go to our farm.

HUMPHREY: One of the most
beautiful parts of Wisconsin.

WOMAN: Yeah, I think it's
very, very beautiful.

The rolling terrain,
wooded, yet nice fields.

WOMAN: There is a [inaudible]
southwest of North Dakota.

In 1917, my dad bought
a place out there.

HUMPHREY: Yes.

WOMAN: Yeah.

MAN: Makes you sleepy.

HUMPHREY: Yep.

Then the speaking right
afterwards just knocks me.

I know better than that.

WOMAN: Well, just put your
head back and take a little nap

before you get to Mendoro.

HUMPHREY: Yes, how
far is Mendoro?

WOMAN: Well, it'll take half
an hour to get over there.

NEWSCASTER: Now, the news.

A political bombshell has
been set off in Wisconsin.

The Simonson for
President Committee

threw its weight behind
Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey.

This brought a strong reaction
from the Kennedy camp.

The Missouri
senator, however, is

said to have had nothing
to do with the action

of his committee.

[crowd noise]

BOY: Thank you.

KENNEDY: Yes.

[chatter]

MAN: You're inspiration.

Good luck to you.

KENNEDY: Thanks very
much for coming down.

[inaudible]

May I take your hand please?

Please?

Thank you.

KENNEDY: Here we go, this way.

[crowd noise]

GIRL: Thank you.

Listen, now,
anybody I didn't get,

because I guess we're
late-- yeah, whose is this?

GIRL: Mine.
It's mine.

This is mine.
It's mine.

If you would write
me at the Senate,

I'll send you a picture and
an autograph and something

about the Capitol.

GIRL: Where should we write?

KENNEDY: Just write
me, Senator Kennedy,

the Senate, Washington, DC.

MAN: Remember [inaudible].

KENNEDY: Then we'll
send you all some stuff.

Two weeks, this will be begun
to be green, though, because--

WOMAN: That's right.

--the snow brings
with it a great amount

of nitrogen for the soil.

WOMAN: That's right.

And that fertilizers it.

WOMAN: But then the--
believe it or not,

North Dakota where
our farm is, is 210

miles further north than this.

HUMPHREY: I have much
more identification

in this area as an
individual in Congress

than my friend Jack does.

He has never-- Jack's
identification in Congress

has been in one group,
labor, labor legislation.

MAN: [inaudible]

HUMPHREY: My identification has
been with the UN, disarmament,

foreign policy, not just
with most recent days,

but since I've been there
with-- with broad areas

of social welfare
and legislation.

Now, I agree that you don't
project this, necessarily--

NARRATOR: This is the
heart of Senator Humphrey's

strength, the farm areas of
Wisconsin, close to the border

of Minnesota.

And though he likes to discuss
everything from foreign policy

to disarmament, here,
there is only one issue

to test the skill of an orator.

[chatter]

MR. GILBERT: Senator, I am
the President of the village.

How Do you do?

MR. GILBERT: We're
certainly happy to have

you in town. [inaudible]

Say, I'm glad to
see you, Mr. Gilbert.

Thank you so much.

MR. GILBERT: Here's Mr.
Peaser, the dry cleaner.

- How do you do, sir?
- Pleasure, sir.

Glad to see you, Mr. Peaser.

What is your name?
- Gunderson.

Gunderson, Gunderson.

Hey.

How do you do?
- [inaudible]

- Good to see you there.
- [inaudible]

Yes, sir.

Nice to see you.

And what is your name?

Mr. Michaelson.

How do you do, Mr. Michaelson?

And yours, sir?

- Austin Wilde.
- Mr. Austin Wilde.

What is this?

[inaudible] No.

Well, you ought to.

All I know is [inaudible].

You got a lot of
Norwegians around here?

MAN: Yeah.

Ah, pretty good.

Well, that's good.

How many Swedes?

Ya, got a few of them too.

I still have my
cup of coffee here.

After all, I met a couple
of Norwegians over here,

you see, and since I'm
only half Norwegian,

they only give me a half a cup.

And I wanted to finish it off.

Anyway, when you're out
speaking as I have been,

why, once in a while,
a good cup of coffee

sort of braces you up
for the next meeting.

Now, gentlemen, I'm one of the
candidates in your Wisconsin

presidential primary race.

We're going to have an election
here on Tuesday, April the 5th.

Now, this election is, of
course, a very important

one in terms of your state.

Now my friends, during my
service in the United States

Senate for 12 years, I
have given more time, more

attention to matters
of agriculture

than any other one subject.

Now, Senator Humphrey is not
out here just to please you

by these comments.

I say that Wisconsin has
lost hundreds of millions

of dollars of sales.

I say that the
businessmen of Wisconsin

have lost hundreds of millions
dollars worth of business

because of reduced farm income.

And I charge here that
not a single candidate

in this primary
elections has paid

any attention to the farmer
at all except Hubert Humphrey.

And I make that statement
without any boast or any claim.

Instead of you reading about who
you ought to have as President

in "Life" magazine,
you ought to take

a good look at him in flesh.

You ought to hear what
they've got to say.

Because let me tell
you something, "Life,"

"Time," "Fortune,"
"Look," and "Newsweek"

don't give a hoot about
your dairy prices.

And I know they laugh at you.

I've been down at their
editorial boards, some of them.

And I'll tell you, they have no
more appreciation of a farmer's

problem then they have of what's
going on on the other side

of the moon.

Frankly, they don't know the
difference between a corn

cob and a ukulele.

I can tell you that my
votes, I'm very popular

sometimes in New
York City or Boston

because there, what they
want in the new-- when I read

the editorials, "The
Wall Street Journal,"

"The Boston Globe,"
"The New York

Times," they want
a-- they want a price

support program that's lower.

They say that the
farmer's being subsidized.

And they look at Hubert
Humphrey's record,

and they say, well, this
fellow, this Humphrey,

he's just from the Midwest.

He's Just for those farmers.

That's what they say.

They're right.

I am.

But I'm not, if you
please, for a farm program

that will destroy agriculture.

I think Benson's farm
program is insane.

And I'll guarantee
you one thing.

If I get to be President
of the United States,

I'm going to buy that
man a ticket personally

and send him right back
to Utah where he ought

to have been all the time.

[laughter]

[applause]

Now, thank you very much
for letting me speak to you.

You've been a fine
and a good audience.

Good luck, safe journey home.

We're going on to Lacrosse.

And by the way, tune
in tonight at 7:30.

We're going to have another
one of those television shows.

And if you've got a
question you want to ask,

just pick up the phone
and call me collect.

Just pick it up and say, I want
to talk to that fellow Humphrey

at the TV station at Lacrosse.

And put that call through
and ask me on the air.

And you can make
it tough, and make

it real tough because people
like it better that way.

They like to see me squirm.

[laughter]

You make it real tough, and I'll
try to give you a good answer.

Thanks very, very much.

[applause]

Ester, good to be with you.

MAN: Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going right back now.

Got to go back.

I liked you very much.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

You've got my vote.

Thank you so much.

--coat and we'll get--

Well.

Well, that reminds me
I've got to get my coat

out of the back over there too.

I was going to put
on the wrong coat.

Tell you, what you
have to do tonight

is to be sure to
remind these people

to call person to person.

Person to person.

Rather than the collect
station to station

because we just get
all these extra calls.

Isn't that the idea, Norm?
- Yes, that's correct.

All right.
Just want to be sure.

Yeah.

Well, I gave Norm [inaudible].

I gave Norm--

On this chart when the
way this thing works is

the lieutenant governor
says, well, Senator,

there's been quite a lot
of talk about the record.

Now, what's this all
about or something.

Then I say something
about that I've

put my campaign on the
basis of the public issues

and the record.

And I've been trying
to emphasize some

of the differences that
exist between the Democratic

candidates.

And here, for example,
are some of them.

All right.

Will this be early
in the program?

Yeah.
Right in the beginning.

- All right.
- And then you focus in.

You phase right in on that part.

And then when I say, all right.

Now, we have a tele--
now we have a call here.

Standby.

HUMPHREY: And at that point,
when they're saying, now

we have a call, you get off
that and get back on to me.

But his answer must
end about one minute.

Now, after Leo, when it comes
down before you come to me,

you might.

CREW: [inaudible] from
four seconds down,

or five minutes down.

HUMPHREY: --Happy
to see you Thursday.

- Yeah.
- And just joke about it.

Your husband's been wondering
all day long where you've been,

and so on.

I thought you'd [inaudible]
come here to meet you with my--

- On the TV.
- Mhm.

Well, but you're
on this show now.

Yeah.

Then just take
about 30 seconds

to tell us where you've been.

And then you've got to come
right back to me and say, now,

Senator, I want to
come on this record,

because we want to get
on those questions.

Right because we
want Muriel to have

30 seconds to tell where she's
been and what she's been doing.

- Yes, sir.
- All right.

- Yep.
- Moment of suspense.

CREW: Senator Humphrey.

MAN (OVER PHONE): Senator
Humphrey, you're agitating

the family farm. [inaudible]

Well, I don't think the family
farm is impractical at all.

In fact, I would say it's highly
desirable, both economically

and more so, socially.

The family farm has social
and spiritual values

to it that are of immense--

You should realize that
you are voting for the most

important individual in the
entire free world and that

the welfare of our country is
heavily involved in his good

judgment, his sense,
his responsibility,

his competence, his
integrity, his ability

to meet the problems head-on.

Although I'm not
certainly the president

or a long way from that, I
am one of the candidates.

There are about six of us.

And I therefore felt
that it would be helpful

if the President had
at least my assurance,

and I'm sure the
other candidates.

KENNEDY (OVER TV):
Best candidate

in the history of the country.

What has happened.

What will happen here and
what's processed today

will happen to the other folks.

What's [inaudible]?

Playing [inaudible]

Terrific.

So it was in another car.

On tomorrow,
election day, every one

of the 3,426 precincts will
be covered by Kennedy workmen.

The hardest thing you're
doing at Kennedy campaign

is to properly harness the
enthusiasm he generates.

Everyone that meets
him seems to like him.

And they all want to help.

CROWD (SINGING):
For his high hopes.

Come on and vote for Kennedy.

Vote for Kennedy.

Keep America strong.

Kennedy, he just keeps
rolling a-- Kennedy,

he just keeps
rolling a-- Kennedy,

he just keeps rolling along.

[laughter]

MAN: Much better.

Now, you've got to put
some feeling into it.

WOMAN: From the Fire
Department to ask

all of you not to smoke
cigarettes or cigars

for the next 20 minutes.

The Senator is ready
to arrive in, I'd

say, a minute and a half or so.

And there has been some
complaint by the women

that one of their dresses
has been burned by a man

smoking a cigar
in back of h her.

So would-- if you
will just please--

[crowd chatter]

So if you'll please refrain from
smoking, we'd appreciate it.

GIRL: [inaudible] Why?

GIRL: Because Linda won't
let us take cars tomorrow.

GIRL: Even after you--

[crowd noise]

NARRATOR: This is the heart
of Senator Kennedy's strength,

the heavily
populated city areas,

particularly the Polish Catholic
fourth district in Milwaukee.

[cheering]

[shouts]

WOMAN: Now you rubbed me.

WOMAN: I can't wash
my hand for a year.

Oh, I shook his hand.

WOMAN: Good for you.

[cheering and applause]

[whistling]

CROWD (SINGING): And we
love him voting for Jack.

For he's got what
all the rest lack.

Everyone wants to back Jack.

Jack is on the right track
'cause he's got high hopes.

He's got high hopes.

1960's the year
for his high hopes.

Come on and vote for Kennedy.

Vote for Kennedy.

And we'll come out on top.

Oops, there goes the
opposition, ker-- oops,

there goes the
opposition, ker-- oops,

there goes the
opposition, kerplunk.

[cheering and applause]

JACKIE KENNEDY: I just wanted to
tell you that my sisters and I

to a poem. [non-english speech]

[laughter]

And he taught me one sentence.

[non-english speech]

[laughter]

MAN: I give to you
Senator Jack Kennedy.

[cheers and applause]

Mr. Chairman, ladies and
gentlemen, I first of all

want to express my
appreciation to all of you.

I know you've been standing
for quite a few minutes.

So I just--

[laughter]

hours!

Hours!

I've been standing
for three months,

so I know how tough it is.

[laughter]

I know how tough it is.

I also want to express
my appreciation

to my old and valued
friend, Clem Zablocki.

He took on the
honorary chairmanship,

the honorary chairmanship
of this campaign

all over the state of
Wisconsin six months ago.

MAN: Yay!

[cheers and applause]

KENNEDY: But seriously,
this campaign

really comes to an end tonight.

I don't think there's anybody
in the state of Wisconsin

who hasn't decided how
they're going to vote.

And I must say it is going
to be a decisive campaign.

I've said on many occasions
that I didn't think

it was possible to be
nominated if I were

unsuccessful here in Wisconsin.

And I must say I mean it.

Clem Zablocki and I
sponsor a bill together,

the Zablocki-Kennedy
Bill, as he called it,

the Kennedy-Zablocki Bill
as I sometimes refer to it.

[laughter]

But that bill, which you may
not have ever heard about,

provides that the Battle
Act shall be amended.

And it shall be possible for
surplus foods and surplus

things that we have
in this country

to be made available to the
people behind the iron curtain.

MAN: And I believe [inaudible].

And the people of [inaudible].

[applause]

We would have passed
that bill two years ago.

We would have passed
that bill two years ago,

but it failed by one
vote in the Senate

when the President withdrew
his support of the day

that bill was coming up to vote.

That's how important the
office of the presidency is.

He shall determine what shall
be our policy on Berlin.

He shall determine whether
we shall be at war or peace.

This is the key office.

And I run for the presidency
because like you, I

have strong ideas about
what this country must do.

I have strong ideas
about the United States

playing a great role
in a historic moment

when the cause of
freedom is endangered all

over the world, when
the United States stands

as the only sentry
at the gate, when

we can see the campfires of the
enemy burning on distant hills.

That's what's at issue today.

That's what we are
attempting to determine.

In the coming months and
years all of us as Americans

are going to be called
out of the tanks.

Our coverage is
going to be tested.

And I am confident that
we are going to give

the same affirmative answer.

That's what I think
this election is about.

That's what we're going to
begin to do on next Tuesday.

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

CROWD (CHANTING):
We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

[cheering]

CROWD (CHANTING):
We want Kennedy!

MAN: Now, I understand,
also, that we

will be please to have the
privilege of seeing Bob

Kennedy, Senator Kennedy's son.

BOB KENNEDY: Son?

MAN: Brother!

[laughter]

BOB KENNEDY: Gee.

[whistling]

[laughter]

BOB KENNEDY: Brother.

MAN: Come up.

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry that my mother
couldn't be here tonight.

[laughter]

And I'm sorry that my
sister Pat couldn't come,

and my sister Eunice,
and my sister Jean.

And my brother-in-law Peter
Lawford or my brother Teddy.

Or my cousin Joe Gargon
and my cousin [inaudible].

[laughter]

So you're going to
have to settle with me.

Thank you very much.

[applause]

WOMAN: But he looked much better
last night than he did tonight.

He has lost weight.

WOMAN: Oh yeah.

He was on that panel
this afternoon too.

That's good.

WOMAN: Yeah, he was good on it.

WOMAN: That panel.

A message here.

Yeah, really glad
to see you too.

Glad I got to see you.

BOB KENNEDY: Not even for you,
I must say, no visiting please.

WOMAN: He works
on his own record.

MAN: That's right.

WOMAN: If you can't
run on your own record,

you haven't got any business
MAN: Running.

That's right.

That's right.

KENNEDY: Thank you very much.

Thanks very much.

MAN: Well, thanks a lot.

KENNEDY: Glad to see you.

MAN: My pleasure.

KENNEDY: Thank you
very much, indeed.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

MAN: Hi.

KENNEDY: Hi, glad to see you.

Thank you. thanks for coming
through that long line.

WOMAN: I just know you'll need--

MAN: Wash your hand
before it wears off.

WOMAN: No, I can still feel it.

Oh, he just-- he
went like-- this arm.

WOMAN: Oh, I know
what that'll do.

MAN: You girls are
being [inaudible].

KENNEDY: Good night to you.

MAN: Well, we're heading
into the [inaudible].

KENNEDY: Night, Gail.

Goodnight Gail.

Thank you very much.

It's all right.

We're not sensitive.

MAN: We've got a candidate that
isn't afraid to take criticism.

WOMAN: [inaudible] and not
only that, [inaudible].

You'll have the
Senator all worn out.

Please, don't crowd
the Senator, please.

No visiting.

Let's keep moving there.

KENNEDY: Thank you, hi.

Very kind.

How do you do?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Well, good luck, Jack.

NARRATOR: Election day,
the voices of the campaign

begin to turn into votes.

MAN: Yeah, I'm for Humphrey.

And that's who I
voted for today.

And I believe in the man.

I believe he's sincere.

with his Civil Rights program
and his progressive instinct

that I think that he has.

And I think it would be a
great thing for the country.

If he were president.

[honk]

NARRATOR: A factory gate,
a few last hand-shakes.

KENNEDY (VOICEOVER): The
primaries are very risky.

But in my judgment is I never
could have been nominated

if I hadn't run in primary.

So I'm taking the risk.

But I would say you have
to keep coming up sevens.

WOMAN: I don't know.

I feel very quite strongly
on the religious angle of it.

So I probably would not vote
for Kennedy because of the fact

that he would have an allegiance
outside of the United States.

There's no
difference, either one.

Humphrey or Kennedy,
there no difference.

Well, there will be for
Mr. Kennedy to win today.

We're looking forward
to a win in Wisconsin.

And that'll carry him right
on through into November.

This will be the start.

I feel-- I'm in favor
of Kennedy very much.

I think he's a tremendous man.

My husband and I met
him the other night

down on Wisconsin Avenue.

And I think he can
give us what we need.

And being that-- I suppose
I shouldn't say this,

but being that he is a
Catholic, and we're Catholic,

also, I think that has
a lot to do with it.

I'm a pretty good
judge of people

because I'm a cab driver.

Well, Kennedy, he's more
for the upper class.

Like I say, he's for
the eastern class.

Like I had Mrs.
Humphrey in the cab--

MAN: Yeah.

The way she put herself
to me was real nice.

MAN: I was surprised that
the Catholic issue didn't

come up earlier than it did.

MAN: Kennedy has stated
very emphatically that he

will not be dictated by Rome.

MAN: shouldn't bring
religion into politics.

MAN: That's right.
Very correct.

MAN: Mhm.

MAN: Do you think
they have, though?

MAN: I look at it this way
that if he's a God-fearing man,

if you are Catholic
or Protestant or Jew,

I respect you for it.

And I certainly
would rather have

a man in there who's a
God-fearing man than who isn't.

WOMAN: You know, I believe
most people that are Republican

will be voting for Humphrey.

WOMAN: [inaudible],
I think, because we

found it pretty good.

I really do.

And he's been doing his share in
fighting for [inaudible] people

all this time.

And I think he's
going to continue.

[inaudible] He's younger.

I don't think he's good-looking,
just because his sister

is married to a movie star.

WOMAN: Well, I don't
think he's good-looking.

WOMAN: Doesn't make him a
glamor puss or [inaudible].

WOMAN: I don't see what's
good-looking about him.

WOMAN: No.

WOMAN: He just happens
to be a young man.

WOMAN: He looks
like a farmer boy.

Got a good head of hair on him.

NEWSCASTER: The claims of the
Humphrey and Kennedy camps at

this hour are almost identical.

Each side says it will win
in six of the 10 districts.

Each side it will
the popular vote.

And each side says it
will stage a victory

celebration sometime tonight.

NEWSCASTER: The first
precinct reporting

in today's presidential
primary gave Senator

Humphrey 103 votes to
only 16 for his opponent,

Senator Kennedy.

And on the Republican side,
Vice President Richard Nixon

drew 35.

14,987.

You got to be under
the total, [inaudible].

It's 9:00 PM.
All right.

All right.
- We got the total [inaudible].

We've got the total of 44% of
the of the precincts reporting.

Oh, yeah. - 24%?

44% Of the
reporting at 9:00 PM?

Charlie, will you ask
them what-- one question.

What did Nixon do
in the 4th and 5th?

In the 4th and
5th, give me Nixon.

Well, I know.

But he didn't tale them down.

[phone ring]

No.

Well, 3,914.

It's [inaudible]

Yeah?

Yeah.

Got you.

5,078 in the 5th.

OK?

Do you want [inaudible]?

And keep us advised.

What?

PR said it was-- it's
not a correct quote.

No, that isn't an exact quote.

It just says I would find it
difficult to be nominated.

If I lost here, I'd find
it extremely difficult

to be nominated is what I said.

I don't care whether they
print it or not, Ivan.

Hello.

It's Jack.

24 for Humphrey, 63.

NEWSCASTER: First returns
in that Wisconsin primary.

Senator Humphrey
is leading Senator

Kennedy by a margin of 2 to 1.

And he's out-drawing Vice
President Nixon 3 to 2.

These, however, are
very early returns.

They include one
precinct where Humphrey

was considered to be strong.

NEWSCASTER: Wabasha is
in the 2nd district.

Kennedy, of course,
is a Roman Catholic,

Humphrey a Congregationalist,
and Nixon a Quaker.

And some observers think that
the election has resolved

into a religious struggle.

That religious thing is just--

The primary is what
breaks you wide apart.

See, it makes religion to be
of disproportionate importance.

Imagine being able to
put a front page story

when under ordinary conditions,
it wouldn't have been

even be printed in the paper.

Well, it's endemic.

[inaudible] see it every week.

I see it every week.

I've seen it [inaudible].

After all, this political--
Jame came out here.

This place was locked
up for Humphrey.

[laughter]

Good.

When is Red Skeleton on?

WOMAN: Oh.
WOMAN: He's on right now.

KENNEDY: Well, let's get him.
WOMAN: Nine.

KENNEDY: We like him.

That's out favorite.

Ah, here we are.

WOMAN: There he is.

KENNEDY: [inaudible],
what do you know?

[laughter]

This would be eight of the
10 districts [inaudible].

12th and 5th are up, yeah.

Nothing from Milwaukee.

And it would show Humphrey
leading in the 3rd,

the 9th, and the 10th.

[whispering]

[phone ring]

WOMAN: [inaudible]

Yeah, what about the 2nd?

Yeah.

You know, I suppose
what's happened,

of course, is that
these Republicans

are voting for leaving
Nixon, voting for Humphrey,

is that it?

JACKIE KENNEDY (WHISPERING):
Hi, [inaudible].

Good to see you.

[sniffs]

[cries]

It'd be all right
if this was November

you're going through this.

You don't like to go through
this six times do you?

Five times.

And then November.

Bobby's fine.

Oh, I planned to [inaudible].

We had-- the 9th is gone.

The 3rd, we have a chance
in, but just a chance.

It really depends on Lacrosse.

The 10th, we have a chance in.

That's not--

Just a chance.

The 7th is quite close.

Listen, don't let these guys
you congratulating too early.

Then the run the--
then afterwards,

they say, he thought he was
in, because he wasn't. [laughs]

I've been through this before.

They seem so friendly.

They are.

But their copy-desk
boys are not always.

They're all right.

When I first ran for mayor,
I was ahead till 6 o'clock

in the morning and
then that was--

WOMAN: Oh, my god.

Then I ended up losing.

NEWSCASTER: The
hosts in [inaudible]

are now saying that
Humphrey possibly

may carry five districts.

But it's now clear that the
chances of a Kennedy sweep

have almost slipped away.

But it could be a long night for
newspaper and radio men covered

the election, and that
one of the most elaborate

and intense campaigns
in the state's history

could wind up meaning
almost nothing.

Yeah, I guess they-- hi.

How are you?

Glad to see you.

[inaudible]

Well, we'll see what happens.

Ah.

[phone ring]

Appleton, the 11th floor.

327 for Jack, 92 for Humphrey.

35 for Nixon?

That's the greatest ever.

[laughter]

Pittsfield.

Oh, [inaudible].

How you can eat
is more than I know.

KENNEDY: Yeah, I eat.

Kennedy has 1,190.

190.

18,571.

[side conversation]

571.

So the worst we'll get--
the worst we can get tonight

is 6 to 4 with a popular vote.

And that will you end up with
20 and 1/2 to 10 and 1/2,

covering the next two
committee men for Humphrey

and the next committee
woman for Jack.

So that actually, the
20 and 1/2 to 10 and 1/2

would be a 2 to1 victory
for Jack on delegates.

It'd be a great
victory, actually.

The only ones disturbed
are the people

who have been talking
about Jack taking all 10,

which it's impossible to imagine
the truth of the story coming

in to Wisconsin.

Here's where we go ahead.

That's marvelous
that the [inaudible]

[phone ring]

Hello?

Jack's right by my side.

MAN (OVER PHONE):
Mr. [inaudible].

Wait a minute.

MAN (OVER PHONE): Our
latest poll shows that--

KENNEDY: Is that a turn?
MAN: U-turn?

JACKIE KENNEDY: Is
that the right time?

MAN: Somebody's turning
from the other--

KENNEDY: Yes, it is.

MAN: We'll never make CBS
unless he really rings it.

Senator, [inaudible].

NARRATOR: The trend
is becoming clear.

senator Humphrey's early
lead from the rural areas

is being wiped out as the
big city vote comes in.

NEWSCASTER: Boy, what a thrill
it is, what excitement watching

these important races tonight.

A moment of slight
commercialism,

I will mention that
some other very

exciting things are happening
right here in our city

these days.

Kennedy first.

Senator, we'll come over here.

Not yet, Senator, not yet.

- Walk around the table?
- Yeah.

CREW: And five.

CREW: And five.

Three, three, five.

NEWSCASTER: On the
Wisconsin primary.

Senator, good evening.

Good evening, Sandy.

How does the
evening look to you?

Well, as all these
election nights are,

it's a very interesting evening.

How has the vote as it's
been thus far shaped up

according to your expectations?

Well, I was hopeful we
could take six districts.

And I think we have a goo chance
to do that, which will give

us-- and I hope-- and the
majority of the popular vote,

which will give us, I
think, a very good result.

Senator, how do you feel
these exhaustive campaigns?

It's a long
campaign many months.

But I think if
we're successful, I

run against a very hard-working
formidable opponent,

my colleague and friend,
somehow [inaudible],

I can be successful against
him, I'll be delighted,

particularly in
Wisconsin, which is

the western heart of the
Midwest next to Minnesota.

So we've got a very
long grueling campaign.

What are your
plans after tonight?

Well, I continue on.

The next primary, of
course, is Indiana

in the first part of May.

And Then I hit West Virginia,
Maryland, and Oregon,

and Nebraska are all
in the short space

of two and a half weeks.

As I was saying, it makes good.

Mr Humphrey, nice smile here.

You wait a little while.

I smile even more.

[laughter]

REPORTER: We're going
right in [inaudible].

Oh, sure.

REPORTER: Would you
give me a statement

for the voice of America?

Well, my goodness,
the Voice of America?

I'm always glad to say
something for them.

REPORTER: Well, than you, sir.

HUMPHREY: This has
been a great election.

And the people of
Wisconsin are to be

congratulated on their genuine
interest in this election.

This is the best voice
that America can have,

when the people participate
in their government

and their politics.

KENNEDY: How are you going
to come out om this election?

HUMPHREY: I say I've
been in politics too

long to make any predictions
that one third of the precincts

in.

Only reckless people
do that and radicals,

and I'm a conservative
prudent man.

REPORTER: You look awfully
satisfied right now, Senator.

HUMPHREY: I'm pleased.

I'm pleased.

You see, if somebody
relegates you

to what you call a hard
bread and cold water diet

and you come up with bullion and
biscuits, it seems pretty good.

As I always said, I
wonder when the majority

of the popular vote and the
majority of the delegates

CROWD (SINGING):
K-E double N-E-D-Y,

Jack's the nation's
favorite guy--

NARRATOR: Senator Kennedy is
headed for a 2 to 1 victory.

But this is short of
the margin he needs

to get his bandwagon rolling.

Neither man has
been knocked out.

In a national standing,
they remain about where

they stood before the primary.

CROWD (SINGING):
He's got high hopes.

[cheering]

[applause]

Feel that we've done well.

Great.

I truly feel that we've
done as well or maybe better

than we had a right to expect.

[cheering and applause]

You know, just imagine
if we'd have won how much

noise there'd have been there.

- We won.
- We won.

Should go right down.

You know, West
Virginia is a very

interesting and beautiful state,
just hills and valleys, see?

You just work the valleys,
sort of walk like this.

[inaudible]

[MUSIC - "DAVY CROCKETT (WITH
HUBERT HUMPHREY)"]

(SINGING) We're going
to stick with them

all the way to the end.

The used to come over
just to help us out.

It's our turn to help
them without any doubt.

So hope for Hubert,
Hubert, Hubert Humphrey,

the President for you and me.

[MUSIC - "HIGH HOPES (WITH JOHN
KENNEDY)"]

(SINGING) high hopes.

He's got high hopes.

1960's the year
for his high hopes.

Come on and vote for Kennedy.

Vote for Kennedy.

And we'll come out on top.

Oops, there goes the opp--
