Indiana's conservative Republican Representative Richard Roudebush would seem to be out in another sense. He does not see it that way. When asked what he would be doing now that he has apparently lost his race the Senate against Vance Hartke, Roudebush raised his voice and said: "Nothing, nothing at all. I'm not thinking about anything except for that senatorial seat. I'm still going to pull it out." At latest reports, he had still lost by 4,383 votes, and a recount may be made...
Indiana provided a vivid case study of the season's acidity. Democratic Senator Vance Hartke, a leading dove and unreconstructed liberal, was challenged by yet another conservative chosen by Nixon, Congressman Richard Roudebush. The Republican, a former national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, wrapped himself in the flag almost literally.

As of last night, liberal Democratic Senator Vance Hartke held a miniscule 4000-vote margin over reactionary Republican Richard Roudebush. But absentee ballots have not been counted and a statewide recount will take place, so the outcome will not be determined for some time...
...hottest and dirtiest Senate races, liberal Democratic Senator Vance Hartke of Indiana held an inclusive lead over reactionary Republican Richard Roudebush at 3 a.m. Democrat Frank Morrison may have possibly achieved an upset win over Republican Senator Roman Hruska in Nebraska...
