Colorado. Republican Gordon Allott, the incumbent, walks the sidewalks with his right hand at the alert for every passerby.

...Carl Curtis backed him up, and North Dakota's Milton Young remarked tartly that President Eisenhower had certainly not been talking about farm-prop cuts during the 1956 campaign. Quite the contrary, claimed Young, and added portentously: "Explain that to your farmers." Colorado's Gordon Allott suggested that the caucus might take advantage of the recession by casting the farm freeze as one of the antirecession pump-primers currently in favor with both the Administration and Congress. Utah's Arthur Watkins argued against a caucus resolution favoring the farm-freeze bill, pointing out that his fellow Mormon...
