...Bricker's campaign special chuffed through the state, two Senatorial candidates clambered aboard. One was slick, slippery Gerald Prentice Nye, 51, the old-line, Old Guard isolationist who has warmed one of North Dakota's Senate seats for 19 long years. The other was bespectacled Lynn Upshaw Stambaugh, 54, whom Gerald Nye tossed out by 972 votes in a hot, three-cornered GOPrimary last June (TIME, July 10). Stambaugh, an able Fargo lawyer, onetime (1941-42) National Commander of the American Legion, a man who believes deeply in international cooperation, is running as an independent in the November...
...candidates. Both jockeyed for official G.O.P. favor. But the significance of this adroit move, obviously sanctioned by the high command, was not lost on North Dakotans.

With evangelical zeal, the state's businessmen, mostly political amateurs, are backing a third candidate: able Lynn U. Stambaugh, 53, onetime (1941-42) National Commander of the American Legion. Trim, hearty Legionnaire Stambaugh, a successful Fargo lawyer and long-time advocate of U.S. participation in world affairs, has invested in 53 red-white-& -blue billboards for a high-pressure campaign. But the grain growers and stockmen who cast most of North Dakota...
...trouble was, he thought, that he had to pause too often to consult his manuscript. To Youngstown he went with no manuscript. For 80 minutes he spoke extemporaneously. Those who went to hear him in the expectation of being deeply stirred by the fervor of his words, left Stambaugh Auditorium inexplicably disappointed...
