Oregon has long been a Republican state, but it is less conservative than conservationist. For almost a year, Democrat Richard L. Neuberger, a state senator, free-lance writer and amateur conservationist, has been barnstorming around Oregon in a bid to unseat Republican Senator Guy Cordon. Hitting at what he called the "giveaway" of natural resources, Neuberger seemed to be campaigning less against Cordon than against Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, whose "partnership" power policy has been received with mounting hostility in McKay's native state. To balding Dick Neuberger, this issue, especially the fight over the nearby Idaho Hell...
Returning to the state from Washington in mid-campaign, colorless, conscientious Guy Cordon, 64, discovered he was in a horse race, rode off to the hustings to deliver attacks on Republican-turned-Independent-Democrat Wayne Morse, his Senate colleague who backed Neuberger. Although Cordon's managers, unused to hard bush-beating, never got his campaign into full gallop, it seemed unlikely that a Republican would lose in Oregon...
...days of William Penn. His great-great-great-great-grandfather, Frederick Leader, was in the first contingent of troops from west of the Hudson to join George Washington's Continental Army.

As with most Pennsylvania Dutch families, Patriarch Guy dominated the family circle, and George still has a deep admiration and respect for his father...
...Guy Leader, at 67, is a prosperous breeder of Black Angus cattle and prize poultry. "Leader Leghorns'' are justly famed in eastern Pennsylvania: the two top egg-laying hens at the Harrisburg state egg-laying contest in 1953 and 1954 came from the lush, 500-acre Leader Farms, and Leader Angus cattle have been Grand Champions in the last four Reading fairs. Like most Yorkmen, Guy Leader learned his trade early. "It became my job to assist my mother with her flock of chickens,'' he recalls, "caring for setting hens, making coops from store boxes...
Along with poultry, Guy Leader developed a lifelong interest in politics, became a local Democratic leader (York County, resting on the Mason-Dixon line, has always been sympathetic to the Democratic Party). It was only natural that his seven children should consume large slabs of politics along with the eppel sas kuuche, schmierkäse and Lebanon baloney at their father's groaning dinner table. As a teenager, George chauffeured voters on Election Day, and while he was in college, he "worked the polls" for his sister-in-law's father, who was running for the York County...
