Cooper was at least the third candidate personally recruited this year by President Eisenhower in an effort to people the Congress with his kind of Republicans (others: Oregon's Douglas McKay, Washington's Arthur Langlie). Among both politicians and pundits, Cooper's decision was widely accepted as a sign that Ike himself is planning to run again...

...shrewd as it was surprising. Ever since 1953, some Democratic politicians have been shouting against the "giveaway" policies of the Eisenhower Administration's Department of the Interior, chiefly because the department has emphasized private and local, rather than federal development of natural resources. After Secretary Douglas McKay resigned in mid-April to run against Oregon's Democratic Senator Wayne Morse, it was clear that some U.S. Senate Democrats, e.g., Oregon's Richard Neuberger, would fight confirmation of McKay's Under Secretary, Clarence Davis, if the President nominated him.

...foes of Douglas McKay are due for a disappointment if they really expect any basic change in Interior Department policy. Appointee Seaton announced: "I certainly expect to carry out the Eisenhower-McKay power policy." He asked Davis, a fellow Nebraskan of somewhat more conservative leanings, to stay on as Under Secretary. Although Davis had been a leading candidate for the secretaryship (with 14 Western G.O.P. Senators and a solid phalanx of top Nebraska Republicans behind him), he agreed to stay on and his supporters accepted the situation without public protest...
...McKay over Hitchcock. In the Republican Senate primary, former Governor Douglas McKay, recently resigned as Eisenhower's Interior Secretary, won a comfortable 22,000-vote victory over Church Leader and former State Senator Philip Hitchcock. Victory after an unexpectedly hard campaign (TIME, May 14) gave McKay the right to face Democratic Senator Wayne Morse (stung by a 17% primary vote given a non-campaigning service-station operator named Woodrow Wilson Smith) in November. By pitting rough Doug McKay against articulate Wayne Morse, Oregon promised itself an exciting political season...
