In the Democratic race, in 1888
precincts Of 2.058, the result stood
Kefauver. 39.454; Kerr, 26,249;
Truman (write-in), 568.
| There were scattered write-in
votes for Senator Douglas of Illi-
nois. Senator Byrd of Virginia
Senator Russell Of Georgia and
Gov. Stevenson of Illinois.
Senator Kefauver expressed his
satisfaction over the primaries
results.
Il believe this expression OF
faith in the principles for which
I stand will set the pattern fol
the Nation. We must all put
our shoulders to the wheel and
work together so we will elect q
Democrat to carry on the princi-
tples of the Democratic Party and
to continue the progress Of the
last 20 years.. he said.
The Tennessee Senator has the
I28 Wisconsin delegates now in his
bag and while the Nebraska pref
erential primary Is not binding
upon delegates. it is expected he
will have the majority of them
Among the leading candidates
for the IL Democratic posts, four
were candidates who said they
would follow the primary results,
Four others have said they favor
Senator Kerr and one was for
Senator Kefauver.
This would indicate that Sena-
tor Kefauver would receive at
least five of the II delegate votes
in convention.
Senator Taft had strong organ
ization support in both Wisconsin
and Nebraska. In the former, his
opposition was divided between
Gov. Warren and Mr.. Stassen.
Gen. Eisenhower was not entered
in the Wisconsin primary. Mr..
StaSSen made bid for Eisenhower
support there by offering to turn
over half of his Wisconsin dele
gates to the general on the first
ballot in the Republican National
Convention.
At the same time, two widely
read daily newspapers, the Mil
Waukee Journal and the Madison
Capital Times strongly urged
Eisenhower supporters to cast
their ballots for Gov. Warren's
slate of delegates. Gov. Warren
ran only about $4,000 votes behind
Senator Taft in that race, and
had Mr.. Stassen not been in the
picture, the result in Wisconsin
might have been different.
Accepted Challenge.
The Taft supporters initiated
the write-in contest in Nebraska
and the Eisenhower supporters
accepted the challenge. In Ne
braska, too, the Ohio Senator had
the support of the strong Butler
Shotwell organization. Gen. Eisen-
hover was the favorite candidate
of Gov. Val Peterson. It is signifi-
cant that Senator Butler won re-
nomination by a considerable
margin over Gov. Peterson.
The vote for Gen. Macarthur
while indicating the general has
devoted supporters, was not i'm
pressive. Four years ago Gen
Macarthur won seven of the Wis
consin delegates to the Repub.
llican National Convention.
Gov. Warren won his first dele
gates to the Republican National
Convention in the Wisconsin
primary. Commenting on the re.
suits there, the Governor said:
Without belittling the vote
which Senator Taft received,
am deeply grateful for the con.
fldence the voters of Wisconsin
