Democratic National Chairman Henry M. ("Scoop") Jackson hinted darkly that Republican moneybags were bankrolling the anti-Catholic campaign, and challenged the press to find out "who prepared the statement issued by Dr. Peale's group."

"the Republicans are sending out all the dirty pamphlets they can find on the religious issue."

...latest word from the horse's mouth was that Washington's boyishly earnest Senator Henry M. Jackson, 48, who is less intensely liberal than Humphrey, was coming up fast. One of the Senate's few bachelors, handsome "Scoop" Jackson (so called because he delivered newspapers as a boy) was a Congressman for twelve years before he got elected to the Senate in 1952.
