At the time, Ricketts, a 37-year-old pharmacist, operated with his father Ricketts Drug Store in Fayetteville, the seat of government of Washington County in northwestern Arkansas. Ricketts polled 82,349 votes (26.7 percent) to Faubus' 225,743 (73.3 percent). Faubus won all seventy-five counties; Ricketts ran best with 42 percent in Baxter County in the far northern part of the state.
