After a sample of the most lavish Democratic primary campaign that local politicians could remember, Millionaire Segregationist Prentice Cooper, 62, three-time Governor (1939-45) and Harry Truman's Ambassador to Peru (1946-48), poured it on incumbent U.S. Senator Albert Gore.

At the same time, McCone became president and director of the California Shipbuilding Corp., and wearing two hats, launched himself into a 15-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week schedule...
...Tennessee last week, three-time Governor Prentice Cooper, 62, stepped into the primary race for the U.S. Senate against able Democrat Albert Gore. Cooper, white supremacist, decided that Tennessee's resentment over Little Rock will let him whip up a lively campaign before the Aug. 7 Democratic primary, started off by reminding voters that Albert Gore refused to sign the 1956 Congressional Southern Manifesto denouncing the Supreme Court's 1954 desegregation decision...
