Who Won
Primary results last week:
P: In Virginia, apple-cheeked Harry F. Byrd, opposed for the first time since he went to the Senate in 1933, won, over Martin A. Hutchinson, Richmond lawyer, silently backed by the C.I.O.
P: In West Virginia, where the United Mine Workers refrained from taking sides, Democrats renominated New Dealish Harley M. Kilgore for U.S. Senator. Republicans picked Insuranceman Thomas B. Sweeney to oppose him a second time.
P: In Missouri, where Harry Truman won his intraparty cat-&-dog fight (see The Presidency), voters chose two politically pallid rivals to contest for Harry Truman's old Senate spot. Smalltime publisher Frank P. Briggs, now filling the seat by appointment, breezed through the Democratic primary; Republicans went overboard for James P. Kern, well-to-do Kansas City lawyer.
P: In Kansas, the Republican nomination for governor fell to able Representative Frank Carlson, congressional tax expert. His November opponent: Harry H. Woodring, ex-Secretary of War, whose lambasting of state dry laws may fatten the normally slim chances of a Kansas Democrat.
