It cannot in all truth be said that
Stevenson's nomination was a gen
uine draft. There was too much
advance work put in on the effort
by practical machine politicians.
These Northern liberals who were
working on the inside had tabbed
the Illinois governor as the man to
whom they and Truman wanted
the nomination 4o go. And there
was Jacob Arvey. the Chicago po
litical boss, who was behind the
scene working to force the large
delegations including his of Illinois
—into the Stevenson column.
James Farley of New York, who
was all over the convention, soon
saw how the cards were stacked
and withdrew' his support from
Y.ce-President Barkley and threw
it to Stevenson.
The nominee and platform bears
••
.the mark of Truman. Stevenson is
a man of modesty, dignity, high
calibre and ability. , He will be a
formidable candidate, no doubt,
against Isenhower. But the fact
remains thet he is a true blue Tru- ,j^
rranite. He has held many import-!g
ant New Deal jobs in recent years j 8
and was/elected governor of his H
state as a Fair Deal candidate.—HejS

may be expected to run on a Tru

mean four more years of Big Gov

fusion, duplication, general inep-1
titude, socialism, corruption and
incompetence as exists today in
the federal government.
Do the American people want a J5
