===Relations with Orval Faubus===
Both Remmel and Britt waged their races against Democrat [[Orval Faubus]]. On one occasion, Pollard visited Faubus's home in Huntsville in Madison Count] in northwestern Arkansas, where he was shown Faubus's impressive display of state newspapers on all aspects of Faubus's political career. Pollard said that Faubus immediately found newspaper articles in which Pollard had criticized his policies and showed them to Pollard in jest. Pollard said that he learned that Faubus had become disillusioned with some of his former political allies who defected in 1974 to David Hampton Pryor, Faubus's successful party rival in the gubernatorial primary that year.<ref name=statement/>
