A solid (6 ft. 2 in., 225 lbs.), solemn, soft-spoken mountaineer, he plans a campaign that will "stress honesty, frugality, economy and integrity in government."

Charges and countercharges by the 18 rival parties were almost as explosive as the bombs which blasted a candidate's home, a political rally and an election meeting. But Election Day last week was a ritual as solemn as any that democracy provides. People wore Sabbath clothes, and there was a Sabbath-like quiet in the air.
