...Vice President continued to plead for party unity by calling the kettle a pot. There is disunity in the Republican Party. He acknowledged that some Republicans think Idaho's Senator Henry Dworshak is too conservative. "But what are you going to do? Elect that cowboy (former Democratic Senator Glen Taylor) instead?" He granted that other Republicans believe that New Jersey's Senate Nominee Clifford Case is too liberal, "but we've got to get 48 votes in the Senate. Let's get that into our heads...

And in the Senate the man who works the hardest is the one who does the most sitting. With this brace, I can outsit them...
Democratic Party leaders avoided Progressive Taylor like poison, asked voters to do the same. In the 1950 primary, Taylor was beaten by 948 votes by D. Worth Clark. But this year a third candidate entered the race and took some anti-Taylor votes away from Glen's chief opponent, Claude Burtenshaw, a Mormon professor from Ricks College.
