Democrats Target Hoff in 1964 Vermont Campaign
Vermont Democrats will focus resources on reelecting Gov. Philip Hoff in 1964, with little effort aimed at Sen. Winston Prouty or Rep. Robert Stafford. State Chair John M. Spencer says Hoff's incumbency and next year’s session performance will shape the drive, as the party pursues a stronger two party system while acknowledging limited resources. Lt. Gov. Ralph A. Foote is viewed as the strongest Republican contender but faced some erosion after the 23 week session.

The Vermont governor’s long range program faces a Republican legislature that rejected his hold the line plea. Hoff plans to unveil major parts of his plan as he prepares for re election.
