...Governor of Minnesota and chairman of the state's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Freeman tried for years to unseat stocky, moonfaced H. Carl Andersen as U.S. Representative from the rural Seventh Congressional District. But Andersen, a conservative on nearly all issues but high farm supports, seemed unbeatable; he was elected twelve times. Then, last January, along came Billie...

"Come and shake my hand." Afterward, some kindly Congressmen did go up to him and say hello and shake his hand. But Andersen's political future had been heavily clouded by the Estes case, and he recognized the fact by announcing that, after winning twelve House terms as a Republican, he would run for re-election this fall as an "independent" rather than risk defeat in a G.O.P. primary...
