 Florida Governor 1991-1998, previously U.S. Senator], who won the second
 term.

B: That would explain why LeRoy Collins [governor from] was not running again in
 1960.

C: LeRoy Collins, if you recall, they let him run for the unexpired term of Dan
 McCarty's term [and] he was actually there almost seven years, so he could run
 again after that. Subsequent to that, they changed the law so that you could
 serve two terms.

B: Who else was active with you on the Farris Bryant campaign in Hillsborough
 County?

C: We had Billy Poe [William Poe], who became mayor of Tampa. He was active.
 We had a bunch of young people who really got out and busted their rear-ends.
 Most of them were Jaycee people, Junior Chamber of Commerce people, who
 really got carried away and did a good job. We had some good supporters in
 Ybor City and in west Tampa.

B: Even though those are liberal areas?

C: Yes, but we played some games with them. I say we, but I did not know anything
 about it at the time as the manager. I found out that what was going on was, at
 that time, one of the big things in an election was to give people rides to the
 polls. You would have a ballot printed, and obviously, you would highlight the
 [candidates] you wanted voted. Well, we knew where basically in Ybor City that
 Carlton had his ballots, and in west Tampa, and those were the two areas where
 this transpired more than in the other areas of Tampa. I found out later that
 probably some of our people printed up some ballots. Instead of having Carlton's
 name, it had Bryant's name there. We would take them to the polls and they
 would vote, and hopefully they voted for us. Another trick that they played
 was-and I did not know you could do this because we never had a telephone in
 my home until my brother and I got back from the service in 1946, and we got
 Mom a telephone-or electricity, as a matter of fact, or running water-but we
 found out that if you called a number-each of [our campaigns] had a number to
 call if you wanted a ride to the polls. So, we would call their number, go to a
 payphone, call their number, and did not hang up, just left the line open, and that
 tied up that line. We got a lot of complaints about that, and I told our people we
 should not do that, so they stopped. After the election I told them they had to quit
 doing that. It was a very interesting election, to almost beat LeRoy Collins'
 people, because LeRoy, if you remember, was for Carlton. He went to Miami,
 made a big statewide speech the night before the election, in Miami, for Doyle.
 Farris and I were down there. At that time, I was traveling with Farris Bryant. I
 was in the studio. Farris was very bright. He took a briefcase with him and he
