supported 10 challengers to Democratic senators, and seven of them won, greatly diminishing Waterfield's influence and helping pass Breathitt's program. In 1967 Waterfield again sought the Democratic nomination for governor but lost the primary to administration-backed candidate Henry Ward, who lost the general election to Nunn. Waterfield was a Kentucky delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1948 and 1956 and helped lead an attempt to secure the Democratic nomination for president for Happy Chandler in 1956. The primary library at Waterfield's alma mater, Murray State University, is named in his honor.
