...Hutcheson's competition is tough, it is by no means overwhelming. Leading the Democrats is Austin Attorney Ralph Yarborough, a sure vote getter but a chronic loser (three times for governor, once for attorney general). And Liberal Yarborough is bound to lose chunks of the conservative vote to ex-Congressman and Red-Hunter Martin Dies...
...York. State Attorney General Jacob K. Javits, 52, took retiring Democrat Herbert Lehman's seat with a decisive victory over New York City's Mayor Robert F. Wagner (TIME, Oct. 1 ). Ex-Congressman Javits (1947-54) rolled up an 885,000-vote lead over Wagner in Republican counties upstate, more than enough to counterpoint the Mayor's 441,000 Democratic edge in New York's five boroughs...
Amid the cheers of Democrats, many of whom took a dim view of him two years ago because he seemed overambitious, fiery Foster Furcolo, 45, stormed back to center stage in Massachusetts politics last week.

The winner will square off against ailing Republican Eugene Millikin in November...
...bland, middle-of-the-road Republican Thomas Kuchel (rhymes with treacle ), completing Richard Nixon's unexpired term, cross-filed for a second try: he polled 1,274,000 votes on the Republican ticket to win the nomination over cross-filing Democrat Sam W. Yorty, Los Angeles lawyer and ex-Congressman. On the Democratic ticket, State Senator Richard L. Richards, 39, free-swinging, liberal disciple of Representative James Roosevelt, polled 963,000 votes to overwhelm both Yorty (380,000) and Kuchel (592,000) and win the Democratic nomination...
