...G.O.P. also has points in its favor. This year the Democrats themselves have unleashed the specter of a Tammany Hall that calls the shots even for the Governor: at the August state convention, Tammany Chief Carmine De Sapio humbled Harriman, rumbled through his own personal choice for the U.S. Senate nomination, New York District Attorney Frank Hogan (TIME, Sept. 8). Harlem's powerful Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr., is running on both tickets and, particularly in the wake of Democrat Orval Faubus' antics, could conceivably switch 30,000 Harlem votes to the Republicans. A final special advantage: many...
...Union's strapping unborn infant-which will not officially assume statehood until early 1959-already thinks it knows the name of its first elected Governor: Democrat William A. Egan, 43. Egan is running a one-sided contest against Republican John Butrovich Jr., 48, Fairbanks insurance man, former Territorial Senator and longtime political catechist to Territorial Governor Mike Stepovich (running for the U.S. Senate).

A political novice, Bill Murray has previously dipped in politics no farther than the Ames school board, between campaign stops avidly reads...
...sort of thing-and McFarland's strong showing in the primary last fortnight-had Arizonans giving Folksy Mac the edge. But it was, after all, a personality contest, the kind of competition Barry Goldwater likes. "I have to get 90% of the Republican vote and 30% of the Democrat." said Barry Goldwater, reckoning his chances in a state where Democrats lead in registration 2½ to 1, "and I think...
Vacationing briefly in the Miami area, Vice President Richard Nixon squeezed in a movie (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and a song-filled lunch with local Kiwanians, unveiled a pair of trim if hairy limbs as he donned shorts for a round of golf with a friend, Miami Democrat C. G. ("Bebe") Rebozo...
