Summary
Editorial cartoon showing Everett Dirksen, Senate Minority Leader and Lyndon Johnson, Senate Majority Leader, in the foreground of the cartoon, dressed in football uniforms and collapsed on a football field. In the background another football player, labeled "clean primaries" vote races down the field towards his goal, cheered by one fan. The Senate voted, 50 to 39, to extend the federal regulations on campaign financing to state primaries as well as general elections. Both Dirksen and Johnson voted against the bill.
