In New York, there was a Senate race involving Rokefeller Republican Senator Kenneth Keating, Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Conservative Party candidate Professor Henry Paolucci. Republican organizations were paying for billboards showing voters how to vote for Johnson, then go up to Row A and vote for Keating.
