Kennedy Campaign Swing Opens as Power Myth Returns
Reporter notes Kennedy’s first campaign swing draws massive crowds in Topeka Kansas and at Kansas State and University of Kansas campuses. Mitchell, a farmer, says he doesn’t care how Kennedy got in, only that he did, as Kennedy greets supporters with familiar New Frontier rhetoric and hand gestures. Kennedy aims to show crowd-pulling power and build a campaign organization while facing questions about voting age and regional support from governors and wary insiders.
