Factionalism dominates the small and traditionally Republican state of New Hampshire. There are the liberal Republicans and the old-line Republicans. The left-wingers are headed by Presidential assistant Sherman Adams, former governor; the old line group claims as its mentor Senator Styles Bridges. After the U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's decision to run there was an ostentatious show of harmony. The plain, unvarnished truth, however, is that Bridges has no love for Adams and vice virtue, as a dairy farmer up here was heard to say.
