Each Side Admits
Rival in Kentucky

BY Cecil HoIIond
Stor Sfuff corrsspondsns

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 26.-
In driving from one part Of this
State to another, switching from
the Barkley to the Cooper cam
paign tour. one is greeted every
where by political posters.
One of these bears the picture
of Kentucky's beloved Alben w.
Barkley with the legend, Vote
for Barkley for greater service
to Kentucky"
A Democratic use Of the COM
parative greater" is perhaps in
dicative of the character of this
senatorial campaign that is i'm
portant in the battle for control
of the next Congress. For even
the Democrats in their partisan
mood will acknowledge that Re-
publican Senator John Sherman
Cooper is pretty good.
Battle of Titans.
This race between the 76-
year-old former vice president
and his 53-year-old Republican
opponent is sometimes referred
to as "the battle of the titans."
Perhaps this is not too far
fetched a description. One often
hears that Mr.. Barkley, despite
his age, is the "only man who
could beat Cooper" And, con-
versely, it is said that Senator
Cooper is the only Republican
who would stand a ghost Of a
chance against the veteran
Barkley who is "Mr. Democrat"
in a State where Democrats are
In the majority.
With his usual political flair,
Mr.. Barkley has taken note of
the reference to this race as the
battle of titans and says:
We'll, I'm no giant, and I
don't think Cooper is. But if
he is I'll be the giant-killer.
It is not the purpose of this
correspondent to gaze into a
muddled crystal ball and haz-
ard an opinion on that.
Edge for Barkley Indicated.
However, most observers are
of the opinion Mr.. Barkley is
ahead in the race, but how far
ahead no one is quite willing to
say.
Even the partisans acknowl-
edge there are many imponder-
ables in the race. One is the
extent of the silent, unpredict-
able and perhaps decisive inde-
pendent vote. Another is the
extent to which there will be
switching of Democratic votes to
the popular Cooper.
One voter summed up the situ-
alton by saying:
I'D sure like to vote for Coop
er, but just can't"
With this voter, as with many
in this State, it is traditional to
vote Democratic-and vote Bark
ley. The extent to which Senator
Cooper can switch that feeling
or has switched it-may deter
mine the outcome of this Senate
off-year election in which up
wards of 100000 voters are ex-
pected to go to the polls.

Their Views

Mr.. Hyde favors States rights
and free enterprise and has at
tackled Mr.. Ryan as a CIO-sup-
ported left Winger.
Mr.. Ryan classifies himself as
a Franklin D. Roosevelt Demo-
crat and has been sticking close
ly to the Democratic Party line
on most issues.
For example, the Democrat
has been tirelessly attacking
tideland oil and atomic energy
"giveaways," McCarthyism, the
Presidents Federal pay raise
veto, replacing the merit sys-
tenn with the spoils SYSTEM" the
Republican relief to the rich"
tax cut bill, and Congress de-
cision to extend the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act for only
one year instead of three.
Mr.. Hyde defends the G. o. P.
record in Washington, although
he points out that he voted for
the S per cent Federal pay
raise that President Eisenhower
vetoed.
Mccarthy an Issue.
On the issue of whether he's
for or against Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin, the congressman has said
he can't do anything about Mr..
McCarthy-"I don't know what
makes him tick" He adds that
he opposes "broWbeating of wit
nesses before committee" and
"the making of reckless charges
for publicity purposes or to
make someone look bad"
Mr.. Ryan has said that to
stand with McCarthyism is to
stand with every deceitful, tyr
annical oppression of freedom
in the history of mankind"
Mr.. Ryan also has been accus-
ing Mr.. Hyde and his Republican
colleagues of doing nothing to
relieve unemployment in West
