Democratic Gov. Bill Clinton was expected to thwart former Gov. Orval E. Faubus’ comeback bid in the Arkansas Democratic primary today as Arkansas, Kentucky and Idaho hold primary elections. In a field of four candidates, Frank White, a Democrat turned Republican, was expected to have the best chance of winning the GOP nomination for Arkansas governor, to be selected in the November elections. In Idaho, Connie Hansen was one of five GOP contenders for the Republican nomination for the House seat once held by her husband. The winner will oppose Democratic Rep. Richard H. Stallings. In Kentucky, Louisville attorney Jackson Andrews was favored to win the GOP nomination to face Democratic Sen. Wendell H. Ford, who has no opponents in the primary.
