Crichton also traveled to Junction in Kimble County to meet with former Democratic Governor Coke Robert Stevenson (1888-1975), the official loser by eighty-seven disputed votes in the 1948 runoff primary for the U.S. Senate against Lyndon Johnson. Stevenson had supported [[John Tower]] in Tower's unsuccessful 1960 senatorial general election against Johnson and was backing Goldwater in 1964 as well in the presidential contest. Stevenson told Crichton that the 1948 election "is an important part of American history, for it got Lyndon to the Senate, which he later controlled, and was a stepping stone to his becoming President. As for me, I was depressed for quite a while, but in retrospect it has allowed me to enjoy my ranch and my young daughter. With that, we had another bourbon and branch water, and I thanked him and departed."<ref>Crichton, pp. 35-37.</ref>​
