RFK's Future at Stake
NY Election Shaping Nation's Course
ALBANY, N.Y. —(UPI)— New York's election campaign enters its final week with the prospects of shaping the nation's political course in the next decade.
The U.S. Senate race will decide the immediate future of Robert F. Kennedy, the late president's brother, who has made little effort to conceal his ambition to occupy the White House some day.
Voters also will determine whether the ranks of the moderate Republicans will be strengthened or weakened in the struggle to wrest future control of the National GOP organization from the Goldwater conservatives. A number of New York Republican lawmakers now seeking re-election, including Kennedy's opponent, incumbent Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, were part of a faction which bitterly contested Barry Goldwater's nomination at San Francisco in July.
SHOULD NEW YORK Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller contemplate regaining the dominant position he held in the national GOP organization prior to his remarriage and loss of the presidential nomination to Barry Goldwater, his gubernatorial record in the two remaining years of his term would be vitally important.

Rockefeller, however, could experience rough sledding with his future programs if the New York electorate were to return Democratic majorities to the currently GOP-controlled legislature.
With eight days until election day, the campaign picture in New York state looks like this:
PRESIDENTIAL — Most polls give President Johnson anywhere from a 2-1 to 3-1 lead over Goldwater for New York's 45 electoral votes. In traditionally Republican upstate territory, fears that Goldwater is "irresponsible" and an "extremist" so far have outweighed anti-Democratic reaction to the "Jenkins affair" or the racial rioting of this past summer. The normally Democratic strongholds in the state's large cities, heavily populated by minority groups, are expected to deliver an impressive total of votes to Johnson.
The big question for most political observers here is not who will win, but by what margin. Can Johnson register a big enough majority-perhaps 1.5 million—to assure Robert Kennedy a Senate seat and jeopardize GOP domination of the state level?
Conservative Party senatorial candidate Henry Pauluce: figures to capture no more than one or two per cent of the vote—probably at the expense of Keating. To those that expect a Johnson landslide, Kennedy has the edge.
