Powell Sopport To POIsbury falls the task ol unseating King, the man who beat him by 40,000 votes in 1961 to become New Hampshire's first Democratic governor fa 40 years. This time, however, be will have the promised support of Powell, who lost to Pillsbury in 1962 and threw his support to King. "Hie toughest thing I've got to face is the record of being a loser." hj said. 'Tve. got to convince people I can go out and win." The King whom Pillsbury wffl face in the upcoming campaign presents even sterner competition than he did two years ago.
