Goldwater: The Home Stretch.

Oregon is behind us; and Rockefeller, rising from the dead, has captured 33 per cent of its vote. Like New Hampshire, it was a famous victory. Oregon gave him 18 delegates, as New Hampshire gave Lodge 14, with just about the same proportion of the popular vote. The victories pile up: The New York Times found Lodge impressive with one-tenth of the Texas vote; Mrs. Smith was the Heroine of Illinois with one quarter of the vote, and Stassen the hero of Indiana with the same fraction. (Wallace, of course, did very, very badly indeed in Indiana with only 30 per cent of the Democratic vote.) Goldwater completely flopped with one-half of Nebraska and two-thirds to three-quarters of Indiana, Illinois and Texas.
