Tantamount to Election.
Mr.. Curtis won Nebraska's
@. @. r. nomination to q 6-year
Senate term while Arkansas pub
Usher Orval Faubus led Gov.
Cherry in their Democratic run
of for Governor. Barring major
upsets, nominations in both con-
tests are tantamount to election.
Delaware Democrats also
named November candidates yes
terday. The party convention
renominated Senator j. Allen
Frear. jr.. over the opposition Of
some State party leaders who
commended he is too "conserva-
tive"

didates for three Senate seats

the deaths earlier this year of
Senators Hugh Butler and
Dwight Griswold. The present
Senator's. serving by appoint
ment, did not seek election.
Mr.. Curtis. an eight-term
House member, topped Gov.
Crosby and five other candidates
in the most important of the
three contests. The others
were (1) for the remaining four
years Of Senator Buffers term
and ca the last two months OF

Gratis.

= e members seeking renomi-
T. ion.
Dworshak Wins Easily.
With more than three-fourths
of the Idaho vote counted. the |
Taylor urtenshaw contest was
still undecided. But there was
no doubt Of Senator Dworshak's
victory. He overwhelmed his only
challenger.
Both gubernatoriol races were
close. State Senator Clark Ham,
ilton had a relatively slim edge
over former Gov. Charles Cos
sett and two others in Demo-
cratic balloting. Attorney Gem
eral Robert Smylie had a slightly
bigger lead in the G, O. p. con-
test, topping former Representa-
tive John Sanborn and one
other
Incumbent House members
were uaopposed.
Arkansas voters apparently re-
tired Gov. Cherry by a margin
of fewer than 10000 votes out
of a total Of more than $50, 900
cast. Gov. Cherry, who led in the
preferential primary July q but
lacked a majority, won the gov
ernorship two years ago by about
100000 votes.

er than his opponent Is a
Huntsville weekly newspaper

He got much of his backing from
supporters of former Gov. Sid
McMath, a friend Of former Pres
ident Truman.

renomipated for a second Sem
ate term on the Democratic con-
vention's first ballot. The loser,

signed last week as a State SUE
preme Court justice to make the
race.

tor Frear's November opponent
