!! Know Your Candidates!! (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: !! KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES!! THE 1964 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION As Americans prepare to go to the polls November 3, hopefully more than two-thirds of elligible voters exercised this precious privelige in 1960-your newsreel offers close view of both candidates and what they stand for. Look. Listen. Republican standard bearer Barry Goldwater is seen at mammoth rallies and whistle-stops during tens of thousands of miles that he has travelled since Labor Day to bring the issues of civil rights, control of nuclear weapons and the charges of slackening morality and softness toward communism. Goldwater's children & his wife are also shown meeting voters in a campaign notable for family participation by the candidates. Senator Goldwater gives his own summations of his qualifications for the highest office in the land. Meanwhile, President Lyndon Johnson takes to the campaign trail with the verve of an old campaigner. To the dismay of the Secret Service he insists on mixing with the crowds. He has shaken so many hands -he has his own in bandages. Day in and day out he hammers away at what he calls Goldwater's nuclear irresponsibility and his oft-repeted theme is unity and continuity with a Democratic president. The First Lady as well as Luci and Lynda Bird have also hit the campaign circuit. The girls presiding at barbecues-Mrs. Johnson whistle-stopping through Dixie. November 3 the voter will have the final say. VOTE Trailer Janet Leigh urgest you to vote
