| Douglas, Stephen A. |
of Illinois, ran for President during 1960, representing Northern and border-state Democrats and some from the lower South, also somewhat of a sectional party.
In this time period, presidential candidates made few, if any, regular campaign speeches. They had spokesmen who represented them in the various states, and issued quantities of pamphlets, printed political speeches and statements. Douglas was an exception. He toured extensively, "spoke often and with deep emotion." |
