They begin and end with two pair of shoes once worn by the southwest Iowa congressman, now 72. One pair, which has been gilded, bears the signs of a hard campaign. The shoes are labeled, "The winners, 1938." "I was poor as a rat.

I didn't even have them soled. I just put cardboard in them every day," said Jensen, in reference to the campaign which first sent him to Congress. The second pair of shoes, less worn, has a sign proclaiming them, "The losers," 1964." "I didn't talk enough," Jensen said. "I didn't get out." Jensen, defeated last fall in his bid for a 14th consecutive term in the House, has retired to the house in Exira--population which has been home for more than 40 years to him and his wife.
