Elections: Democrats, G.O.P. Eye 1960 In the wake of sweeping Democratic victories throughout the nation, the greatest since the 1930s, both parties reappraise the presidential timber for 1960. In California, one of the nation's most powerful Republicans, Senator William Knowland, is returned to private life. In New York, the sole G.O.P. triumph is also the most spectacular personal triumph of the day- the victory of newcomer Nelson Rockefeller over incumbent governor Averill Harriman, by over a half million votes. Crowds waving. Politicians in various settings. Pat Brown (?). John F. Kennedy stands among crowd, talks to reporters, press. Also, JFK with Jackie Kennedy and Edward Kennedy (?) amid a crowd, smiling. Police officers among crowds. Man blows kisses and waves to crowd.
