Said Modoc County Cattleman Harold J. ("Butch") Powers, incumbent Lieutenant governor who got the biggest vote (1,757,000) on the G.O.P. ticket: "Nobody that I know of has endorsed me, and I'm running independently." Even the low-lying Nixon forces were flirting with the idea of grabbing control of the November campaign from the Knowland-ites. There was talk that Vice President Nixon would step in, not only to restore order but to protect his own presidential chances lest a Democratic victory this fall pull important California out from under...
