McCarthy Faces Schmitt In Key Wisconsin Senate Fight
Wisconsin voters head to the polls next Tuesday for a high stakes Republican primary as Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Appleton seeks the nomination against Leonard N. Schmitt of Merrill. McCarthy, sidelined by a July operation, relies on radio talkathons while Schmitt attacks McCarthy’s alleged misrepresentations and guilt by association. The outcome dominates state races with Democrats split between Thomas E. Fairchild and Henry Reuss. Fairchild favored to win that nomination. Statewide voting rules allow cross party ballots, and a close result is anticipated between McCarthy and Schmitt.
