DURING this fall's political campaigning, two of the new 1962 crop of candidates made TIME'S cover. One was Democrat Teddy Kennedy of Massachusetts, seeking his brother's old Senate seat. The other was Pennsylvania's William Scranton, waging a hot fight for the governorship. They proved to be two of the big winners in last week's elections...
Borrowing a line from a well-known Democrat. Romney set out to "get this state moving again." He called for citizen participation at all levels of government -and with it an end to the "monopoly" of power groups, whether of the left, center or right. He developed a theory, similar to that of the University of Chicago's late Professor Henry Simons, that the overwhelming power of great corporations, pitted against that of big unions, serves only to enlarge the power and size of the Federal Government, which must regulate both forces. Michigan, he insisted, needed a leader...
...There were seven races in which Democratic and Republican incumbents faced one another because of redrawn district lines. In only one of them did a Republican lose. He was Pennsylvania's Ivor Fenton, a 24-year veteran, dean of the state's G.O.P. delegation. At 73, Fenton simply was not as articulate or as agile on the stump as Democrat George Rhodes, 64, a liberal who will be starting his 15th year in the House. The six Democrats sidelined by Republican incumbents were Massachusetts' Thomas Lane, North Carolina's Paul Kitchin, Kansas' J. Floyd Breeding...
Lane, who served a four-month prison term in 1956 for income tax evasion, campaigned on the theme "President Kennedy needs Congressman Lane." He was outtalked and outworked by hustling Bradford Morse, a Republican who often votes like a Democrat. Kitchin ran up against popular Charles R. Jonas, who cultivates his constituents the year round with cookbooks, letters and palm squeezing. Lone Republican in North Carolina's delegation in the 87th Congress, Jonas will have company in the 88th: Republican James Broyhill ousted incumbent Democratic Congressman Hugh Alexander...
...Ailing. Physical and ethical ailments caused turnouts in some districts. California's Dalip Saund, a native of India, suffered a stroke, could not campaign at all, was beaten by Minor Martin, a former University of California football player. Texas Democrat J. T. ("Slick") Rutherford had accepted a $1.500 "campaign contribution" from Billie Sol Estes; he was done in by Republican Ed Foreman. Washington's five-term Democrat Don Magnuson (no kin to Senator Warren Magnuson ) had been hurt by drinking, driving and marital problems. He was defeated by the G.O.P.'s Bill Stinson, 32, a salesman seeking...
