...Hand." In Delaware, candidates of both parties have been dragged into the segregation fight almost despite themselves. Republicans generally have been blamed for an inept performance by G.O.P. Governor J. Caleb Boggs in dealing with the Milford school riots (see EDUCATION). The chief victim is Senate Candidate Herbert Warburton. He has lost ground to Democratic Senator J.

But others among the freshmen looked like real comers. In Minnesota, C. Elmer Anderson had turned out to be a competent, careful administrator and a hail-fellow Eisenhower advocate whose performance has confounded the armchair analysts and won wide approval among the voters. In Illinois, Bill Stratton, another dark horse, had accomplished things that Adlai Stevenson had failed to get done (TIME, July 13). And in Massachusetts, Christian Archibald Herter...
