Died. Henrik Shipstead, 79, son of a Norwegian immigrant to Minnesota, who in 1922 became the first U.S. Senator elected on the Farmer-Labor ticket, served four terms-the last as a Republican-before his intransigent isolationist career was ended in the 1946 primary by Harold Stassen's hand-picked candidate, Republican Edward J. Thye; of congestive heart failure complicated by terminal pneumonia; in Alexandria, Minn...

Morton called his manifesto an "attack on the record of the Administration," acidly predicted that Democratic campaigners would quote it "liberally."

Dilworth, who had only to rest on his achievements (and the backing of all three Philadelphia newspapers), did not have to take out after Stassen; Harold, 52, did it all by himself.
