Dale Bumpers Wins Arkansas Democratic Gubernatorial Nomination
Dale Bumpers, a 45 year old Charleston attorney and former Marine, defeats former Gov Orval Faubus to secure the Arkansas Democratic gubernatorial nomination. He portrays himself as a moderate on race and policy, cites his father’s public service, and plans to face Republican Winthrop Rockefeller in November. He runs a hardware store, cattle ranch, serves as Charleston city attorney, sits on the school board, and leads his Methodist church choir.
