...Republicans' nine "safe" seats were held as expected: Maine's Governor Frederick G. Payne had been promoted to the Senate in the State's September election. California's Senator William F. Knowland was the nominee of both parties. Nebraska's Senator Hugh Butler and ex-Governor Dwight Griswold were easy winners. Vermont's Ralph Flanders, North Dakota's William Langer, Minnesota's Edward Thye and New York's Irving Ives had no trouble. In Ohio, mellifluous John Bricker easily defeated wisecracking Mike DiSalle, former U.S. price boss...
Sure Republican Seats. Nine of the seats are considered sure for the Republicans. Maine has already had its state contest, elected Governor Frederick G. Payne to the Senate. California nominated Republican Senator William F. Knowland on both the Republican and Democratic tickets. In Nebraska, Senator Hugh Butler is sure of re-election and ex-Governor Dwight Griswold is certain to win the late Kenneth Wherry's unexpired term. Vermont's Ralph Flanders, North Dakota's William Langer and Minnesota's Edward Thye are in no danger. Senators Irving Ives of New York and John Bricker...

The star of the circuit is Vice President Alben Barkley, who has for years drawn fees up to $1,000 for each appearance. Barkley...

Eisenhower had some ideas about the sort of fellow he wanted for a running mate: a young, "forward-looking" man, and someone who would help him get along with Congress. Among others, he considered Senators Knowland and Nixon, Governors Warren, Sherman Adams (New Hampshire), Val Peterson (Nebraska), Dan Thornton (Colorado). Brother Milton Eisenhower plugged for Taft; although Eisenhower advisers thought that Taft 1) would be bad for the ticket, 2) would not accept anyway. Eisenhower left the final decision to a meeting of his advisers, presided over by Herbert Brownell, at the Hilton, on the afternoon of his nomination...
