Show The Democratic Contest in Florida Democrats wanting to know which way the kind is blowing in the southern branch of the party might well profit by observing the current primary battle for the party's senate nomination in Florida. There ex-Senator and liberal Claude Pepper is trying to regain his seat at the expense of incumbent Senator Spessard L. Hollard, a conservative. Both have large followings in Florida. Although still in its earliest stages the Pepper-Holland battle is developing into a right active affair. Although he has been keenly eager to regain his senate post Mr. Pepper sat out the last two campaigns. He said he entered the race against Sen. Holland "because the climate has changed." That's what we'll be watching to see. Has it really changed and if so, how much? |
