Who Won?

Some other primary results:

Alabama: The runoff primary for governor was a freakish contest. Outsize (6 ft. 8 in.) Jim Folsom, ex-G.I. endorsed by the C.I.O., mopped up professional politician L. Handy Ellis with the added help of sudsy showmanship (TIME, May 20) and a five-piece band. Big Jim, who swore he kissed 50,000 women in the campaign, polled heavily in back-country areas, and in these he had discreetly soft-pedaled his P.A.C. support.

New Jersey: Republicans decisively picked conservative Alfred E. Driscoll, organization gubernatorial candidate, over pudgy, flamboyant Harold G. Hoffman. Hoffman, in uniform during both World Wars, hammered at his opponent's lack of a war record. Driscoll hammered more tellingly at Hoffman's erratic conduct as governor during the Hauptmann trial and his connections with Democratic Boss Frank Hague of Jersey City.
