...such G.O.P. conservatives as Iowa's Bourke Hickenlooper, Kansas' Andy Schoeppel and Nebraska's Roman Hruska. angry over Cooper's refusal to surrender, plotted a surprise scheme to elect South Dakota's Karl Mundt to be party whip instead of California's Tommy Kuchel-thus take back the one top party post (out of four) that Bridges had offered the liberals as a compromise. But even as Kansas' Schoeppel stood to spring the Mundt nomination. Bridges genially drifted around the caucus table, switched just enough probable Mundt votes to elect Kuchel by exactly...

State Senator Richard Richards, the fair-haired boy of young Democracy, fared scarcely better against Kuchel in Eisenhower's 1956 popularity contest.
