...District Republican Club, got elected and re-elected to three rambunctious years in the lower house of the .New York State legislature. In the winter of 1884 T.R.'s wife Alice died in childbirth, and he headed west to the solace of the silent spaces of the North Dakota Territory. "Black care," he said, "rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough." There T.R. ran the Maltese Cross and Elkhorn cattle ranches (see color pages), rode the range beneath springtime stars and winter snow-dust, got sworn in as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff "Hell-Roaring Bill...
That sort of thing so well satisfies Rhoden's young customers (70% under 24) in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota that he can afford to shrug off television. "TV is for the older folks." says he. "A teen-ager who has a date doesn't want to stay at home." Rhoden waves off major Hollywood productions ("Gary Grant won't sell teen-agers"), even throws out westerns unless they have a young cast.

Twice passed by Congress, the bill was twice done to death in the White House: President Truman vetoed it in 1950; President Eisenhower vetoed it in 1956 after South Dakota's Republican Senator Francis Case announced that a gas lobbyist had tried to bribe him.

The newsman-named lakes will keep cartographic company with such sky-blue waters as Winnibigoshish (meaning "miserable, wretched, dirty water"), Ge-Be-On-P-Que, and the lake named in 1956 for R.

Such is the changed political climate of South Dakota that even Joe Foss enters the race as an underdog to a Democrat. George McGovern, 35, himself a World War II B-24 pilot with a Distinguished Flying Cross, is a hard worker and a skilled orator, has since his election in 1956 entrenched his position. As governor, Joe Foss, blamed for rising real estate taxes, won 1956 re-election by only 25,000 votes -and the First District does not include his areas of greatest strength. But Foss's greatest handicap this year is the same that got George...
