...Warned conservative Senator John W. Bricker when Ohio Republicans decided to put right-to-work up for a vote in the November election: "If you put this on the ballot, you will lose the governorship, control of the state senate and house, and I might lose." He was right all around...
...talking about a real chance to take over. By last August the insurgent planning revolved around Vermont's George Aiken, New Jersey's Clifford Case and New York's Jacob Javits. After such Old Guard Republicans as Nevada's George Malone, Ohio's John Bricker-and Bill Knowland himself-got soundly whipped in the November elections, Aiken & Co. felt sure that they were on the right track. At first they had demanded only that one of their number be named assistant minority leader; by last week they were insisting that they get both the minority...
Pulling the Rug. The Senate's G.O.P. liberals have raised revolts before-and walked away from them before-but this time George Aiken seemed to mean business. Reason: in 1958 such G.O.P. right-wing Senators as Nevada's George "Molly" Malone, Ohio's John Bricker, California's Bill Knowland (running for Governor) and West Virginia's Chapman Revercomb, were roundly defeated while G.O.P. liberals just about held even and were sparked in spirit by G.O.P. liberal Nelson Rockefeller's election to the New York governorship.

It missed Hugh Scott's Republican victory in Pennsylvania's Senate race, and Republican Senator John Bricker's defeat in Ohio. Getting right down to the congressional level, the Times stubbed its forecasting toe in some cases, e.g., in Michigan's Sixth Congressional District it predicted that Republican Charles Chamberlain (TIME, Oct. 27) would be turned out of office...
...through the '30s and the war years, in 1945 entered the postwar period with 713,453 telephones. The postwar shift to the suburbs and exurbs lifted that to 1,417,109 by 1951, when Power, a Winer Ohio State University economics professor, law partner of Senator John Bricker and general counsel to Ohio's Public Utilities Commission, took over as president. Last year's 3,000,000 subscribers were served by 28 subsidiaries operating in 5,306 U.S. communities, and in areas of Canada and the Dominican Republic...
