White-maned Pat Hurley, the colorful Republican candidate for U.S. Senator, almost seems to be running against the Mechem wing of his own party. Hurley's main target: Mechem-sponsored G.O.P. State Chairman Harry Robins, who openly opposed Hurley for the senatorial nomination...
Shivers' first task, ahead of his own reelection, was to take a conservative delegation to the Democratic National Convention.

Perhaps it is too much to ask the Provost to dust off his hatchet once more, but the present schedule makes a mockery of what has been a very...
