Except for the estimated
l75,000 who greeted Senators
Kennedy and johnson in Dallas
early in the campaign, the Chi
cago street throngs were the
most massive and impressive yet
accorded Senator Johnson. They
exceeded the estimated 100, ,00O

He struck q serious note and
stuck to his prepared text at

man as Mr.. Nixon. Then he ap-
parently sensed that the Demo-
cratic organization faithful
wanted Q lighter touch and
more down-to-earth talk about
rallying behind the party stand
ard and getting out the vote.
So he met the occasion and OPP
.portunity by decaring:
