...Minority Leader William Fife Knowland, with no G.O.P. opposition, got the Republican nomination, and will fight out the governorship with Brown in November.

After Knowland and Nixon forces pressured Knight into the Senate race, Knight lost considerable face in party ranks. Should gregarious, pro-labor Goodie Knight pull more votes for the Senate than Knowland gets for Govenor, Goodie would doubtless establish himself as (next to Vice President Nixon) the state's top-dog Republican...
