...election day Ed Martin ran third, behind both Harold Stassen and Tom Dewey, as a presidential favorite. Duff's man Taylor squeaked by with a 1,199-vote majority. Throughout the state the returns put Duff more securely in the saddle than ever...

Also, as part of its campaign strategy, the Administration is expected to let fly with a few trustbusting suits where they will do some vote-getting good (with an eye on the farm vote, it plans to move against farm machinery manufacturers soon). In 39-year-old Herbert Bergson the Administration thought it had a man who would be a good politico-legal trustbuster...
