Washington's open-collared, arm-flailing Republican Senator Harry P. Cain is fighting desperately for his political life. Although endorsed outright by Eisenhower, Cain's contradictory and regressive voting record has made few of his constituants happy, while his opponent, Representative Henry M. Jackson, is making a successful appeal to liberal Republicans as well as to Democrats...

I do hope that we don't carry our humor too far and produce a framework of senatorial party organization within which it would be impossible for constructive [Republican] conservatives and responsible liberals such as Morse, Ives, Lodge, Smith, Saltonstall, Aiken, Duff and Thye to operate in behalf of the people...
