...Arkansas statehouse for 92 straight years, the odds today are no better than 50-50 that they can round out a full century in office. The first serious threat to one-party rule came in 1964, when Republican Winthrop Rockefeller polled 43% of the vote against Governor Orval Faubus. G.O.P. hopes soared higher still last spring, when after nearly twelve years in office the still-formidable Governor decided to step down at year's end to rest and-some suspect-to mount a campaign against Democratic Senator J. William Fulbright in 1968. Last week's gubernatorial primaries gave...

Holt, a personable but bland moderate backed by the Faubus organization, has run a lackluster campaign, lauding the state's progress under the Governor and invoking his own record as a former county prosecutor and state attorney general. Apart from a pledge of $500-a-year raises for teachers and a new traffic-safety program, he has offered little in the way of change...

Either candidate will face a determined opponent in Rockefeller, 54, who has rejuvenated the Arkansas G.O.P. almost singlehanded since moving into the state in 1953. The younger brother of New York's Governor attracted new industries-and 90,000 new jobs-as the Faubus-appointed chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission from 1955 to 1964. He has since concentrated on finding and financing promising G.O.P. candidates. Encouraged by Rockefeller's showing against Faubus, Republicans have put up a record 516 candidates for state and local offices this year (v. 165 in 1964), and are confident that Arkansas...

...Arkansas, ex-Congressman Brooks Hays, 67, who was unseated in 1958 after taking a moderate stand on the Little Rock integration riots, became a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination to succeed six-term Incumbent Orval Faubus, 56, who says (not for the first time) that he is retiring. Other Democrats in the race include Segregationist State Supreme Court Justice Jim Johnson, 41, and Businessman Winston Chandler, 46. However, Hays's chief rival for the nomination is expected to be the man who ousted him from Congress, Little Rock Oculist Dale Alford, 50, who has yet to announce...

...Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, 56, announced that he would not run for a seventh two-year term, provided that the Democrats field a strong candidate to oppose Republican Contender Winthrop Rockefeller. Arkansans are inclined to believe that Faubus may even mean it this time. Though he likes to portray himself as a poor backwoodsman, Faubus has been embarrassed by adverse comment on his new $280,000 home and, in any case, he has good reason to fear Rockefeller, who pressed him strongly in 1964. - Lloyd Hand, 37, who resigned abruptly as Washington's Chief of Protocol (see The Administration...
