...defenders are Democratic Gover nor Steve McNichols, 48, and Democratic Senator John Carroll, 61. The challengers are John Love, 45, and Representative Peter Dominick, 47, who, if nothing else, make one of the most virile-looking pairs of candidates in the U.S. this year. Love, a Colorado Springs lawyer, was a political unknown until his G.O.P. primary victory over an old party wheelhorse. Dominick, a highly articulate Yaleman, is just finishing his first term in Congress...
Love, Your Enemy. As it happens, McNichols has been a darned good Governor. He has built more schools, highways, and state institutional facilities than any Governor before him. Despite chronic unemployment in the mining industry, Colorado's employment is at an alltime high. An aggressive McNichols industrial program last year gained for the state 50 new commercial plants, expansion of 32 others. But Steve McNichols is also a very stubborn fellow-and this fact has made him a lot of enemies. To carry out his program, he raised state income taxes. He feuded with his Democratic state legislature...
Face to Face. On the Senate front, the Democratic incumbent is pudgy, party-lining John Albert Carroll.

Mark's before Yale, is also a World War II hero (Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal), has lived in Colorado for the past 17 years. Last week, speaking at Denver's Cherry Hills Country Club, Dominick told some 300 assembled ladies that "you can't get money out of Washington unless you first put it there. We get back only 13? on every dollar we send in. There are an enormous number of things being done by the Federal Government that can be put back in our own area. Centralization of more and more power...
Oddly enough, one poll shows Love far ahead of McNichols, with Carroll and Dominick running down to the wire (see jallowing story). Still, most Colorado observers find that survey suspect. They think that McNichols is presently a little bit ahead of Love, while Carroll may be trudging a losing trek against Dominick...
