Governor Frank Clement named Herbert S. Walters to replace the late Senator Estes Kefauver. Walters, 71, a Democratic national committeeman and East Tennessee contractor, will serve until a successor is chosen in the November 3, 1964 election for the remaining two years of Kefauver's term. Walters is more conservative than Kefauver and is not expected to run in 1964, clearing the path for Clement to enter the race. Clement interrupted a governors' conference to announce the move and planned to rejoin the meeting later.
