Washington AP dispatch notes the 1964 race centers on policy between Johnson and Goldwater, moving beyond personal battles of 1960. Jenkins resignation after morals arrest shadows Johnson, while Goldwater proposes tax cuts and stricter government.

John Severson carries candy mints after a hunting mishap.
