The article presents on-the-spot analyses of the election results in the state of Massachusetts. Democrat Foster Furcolo tried to beat Senator Leverett Saltonstall. Furcolo, became well known in western Massachusetts as a Congressman in 1948-52 but had to build his vote in eastern Massachusetts from the ground up. After winning his first state-wide contest in 1952--for the office of state treasurer--the forty-four-year old Furcolo, son of an Italian father and Irish mother and the first Italian American leader to emerge in Massachusetts politics, decided to battle Saltonstall.
