Hottest Southern Senate Contests Highlight 1962 Outlook
Congressional Quarterly surveys reveal Kentucky and South Carolina as the fiercest races in the South. Kentucky's Thruston Morton seeks a second term amid a GOP surge in Louisville and a Democratic primary fight with Wilson Wyatt and Harry Lowman. In South Carolina, Sen. Olin Johnston faces Governor Hollings and a GOP challenger W. D. Workman as Republican hopes rise in a state previously resistant to party switches. Other southern races show incumbents like Lister Hill in Alabama and Fulbright in Arkansas safely positioned.
