Greene For the Robert Kennedy Oral History Program of the Kennedy Library GREENE: Why don’t you begin by giving some kind of an explanation of the way you set it up locally, who you were working with, and…. WHITTAKER: Okay. Well, I did explain — I think I did — I explained that I’d come back after [Robert F. Kennedy] Bob announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. Well, then [Brockman] Brock Adams was the first person, actually, to meet me getting off the plane, and so he immediately declared support for Bobby publicly. He was the only one. There was no other. [Interruption] We then had a meeting that evening with Brock Adams, Payton Smith, and myself. We discussed campaign strategy, what strength we could get, and decided to look for an office. The first campaign money contributed came from Brock Adams that night. The next morning we lined up an office downtown on Fifth and Union in Seattle, and that became our headquarters. We installed a bank of phones. Then we got an executive to run it. Initially, we had trouble finding someone to run the office, paid executive; we had a lot of volunteer help. Kitty Prince is mentioned here as the key woman in the office. Another very important person was Joan Hansen, a lawyer. She spent a lot of time initially helping get it set up. [-49-] There was lots of office help then; we were trying to find someone that could organize the thing. So, we went to Frank Keller, who at that time was working for the federal government, but in the state of Washington. He had a civil service job. But he forfeited that, gave up his retirement that he had accumulated, and came into the office. He was the man in charge. I was set up as the chairman, I guess, in the state. He was the director of the campaign. We hadn’t the money yet to fund him, but we had some money coming, and he wanted a commitment. He was leaving this job and he wanted a commitment right through the end of the campaign. So, we did commit, totally, for that amount of time. We figured that Bob would win anyway. That’s how that set up. The state Democratic committee was for [Hubert H.] Humphrey, and so were the other congressmen, as far as we knew, and so were the other senators. We didn’t get any support initially, although, we did go to them. I would say toward the end they were beginning to come over, but even then at that time I don’t think we had anyone actually wearing a Kenendy button — although, I did see some Kennedy buttons after the assassination. GREENE: Did you try to get commitments from these people? Or were you mainly trying to get them simply to stay neutral until after California? WHITTAKER: We tried to get commitments first, and then we asked them to stay neutral. GREENE: And even that was tough? WHITTAKER: Even that was tough. They didn’t know what strength there was. They all thought he’d come in so late, and there was the general feeling, as there was across the nation, that, you know, the party was splitting up to beat hell. Of course, our argument was that Humphrey was part of the administration, and that our problem was with the administration. So, that was our selling point. Then, we got to the point of, “Somebody’s going to have to face [Richard M.] Nixon, because Nixon’s running. It’s going to get down to the wire, and you’re going to have a Kennedy and Nixon campaign like you did in ‘60. Who’s going to win?” I mean, we kept drumming this thing and working on it. But the party — I mean it was tough. [-50-] So, then we covered the state. We set up another Kennedy headquarters in Spokane. We set up a Kennedy headquarters in Tacoma. The party still was not firmed up; and we were working, of course, on delegates then.We had our state convention down at Ocean Shores. We had a Kennedy party room — and entertained the people. There was also supposed to be a Humphrey room and a [Eugene J.] McCarthy room. By 10 o’clock that night those two rooms had folded and the Kennedy room was the only one where the action was. GREENE: Yes, I think you mentioned that last time. WHITTAKER: Well, you’re going to have to help me, I think, to pull it together. GREENE: Yes, sure. What about outside Spokane and Seattle? How much of an organization was there in the smaller towns? WHITTAKER: There were little groups that were forming. All we’d try to do, we’d call up every district and we’d just find one Kennedy supporter; then we’d have them start to work. This happened in all of the counties, in every county. We had a list of the counties and we went through every county.
