Montana. Republican Governor Tim Babcock, 47, running for the U.S. Senate seat occupied by liberal Democrat Lee Metcalf, 55, maintains stoutly that "the rights of the people are being taken away" by Washington. Though Montana has elected only one Republican Senator in 60 years, the Governor strikes a responsive chord among the state's inflation-conscious cattlemen and lumbermen by demanding cutbacks in federal spending. Potentially, however, the most profitable issue for Babcock is the junior Senator's disagreement with the Johnson Administration's Viet Nam policy. While Metcalf advocates that the U.S. "pull...
...high school graduate who built a successful trucking business, Babcock was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1960, acceded to the governorship two years later when Republican Incumbent Donald Nutter was killed in an airplane crash.

As an increasing number of power companies do, Atlantic City Electric, Philadelphia Electric, Delmarva...

This year the waterballers topped Brooklyn Polytech, 12-7, and M.I.T., 9-5, but drowned under Queens, Army, Fordham, and St. Francis...
...Montana, said Republican Tim Babcock, there is "worry about the inconclusiveness of the war. I think we can win it, as I have great faith in our military, but I think more of the decisions should be made by the military." Republican Clifford Hansen of Wyoming saw the war as a clear-cut responsibility. "We have to discharge our duty there, and will," he declared. "Our duty is plain-to continue to support the objective of stopping Communist aggression, and to safeguard the freedom and independence of South Viet Nam. We should continue to support the President as long...
