Repentant Glen Taylor Bids Against Dworshak in Idaho
Former Senator Glen Taylor, remorseful about past political moves, mounts a strong bid to upset Republican Senator Henry Dworshak in Idaho's pivotal race. Taylor, once allied with the Progressive party in 1948 and later vice presidential candidate with Henry Wallace, seeks the Democratic nomination and potentially the Senate vote to help Democrats organize the Senate. Dworshak touts his 261 roll calls in the 83rd Congress and frames Taylor as a former party deserter, while backing Eisenhower era farm price support.
