Baker Seen As Potential Leader In GOP Leadership Race
The story says Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee has substantial backing for the Senate Republican leadership after Everett Dirksen's death. It notes a three man contest with Sen. Hugh Scott and Sen. Roman Hruska, plus possible support from Sen. Gordon Allott and others. Liberal and conservative camps shape the push with Scott aligned liberals and Baker favored by moderates seeking a younger, fresh face. Baker is 43 and still early in his term, stirring debate over seniority vs change.
