All KelQX before I
By Doisy Sheridan
They are all Democrats, are all
going to Chicago. but each one
thinks her man is the best. Who
are these people? Why, Mrs. w.
Averen Hartman, Mrs. Estes Ke-
fauver, Mrs. Robert S. Kerr, and
Miss Nancy Green. niece of Sena-
tor Richard Russell, of course!
The gals really work in political
campaigns today and these four
are no exception. 1t would seem
that all were taking a much
needed rest last weekend and
perhaps an extra vitamin pill in
preparation for the coming con-
vention.
Feelings Vory
Reactions to their coming or
deal all vary almost as much as
their ages. Some are wide-eyed
with excitement as it will be their
first convention; another is ex-
cited at going even though she
has been before, and one is calm
and collected. But one of the
these three candidates wives may
vie with Mamie Eisenhower to be
the first lady of the land. y
Mrs. Hartman regardless of the
chaotic days behind her and the
ones to come is outwardly calm.
The suspense and quickening pace
has not daunted her and her
Chicago plans are in methodical
order.
This weekend she and her can
didate husband are taking a
breather in Sands Point, Long
Island. It will be her first conven-
ton and date ofrtheir arrival in
Chicago is set for this Saturday.
The Harrimans will stay at the
Palmer House although Mr.. Har-
'Fiman's headquarters will be in
the Conrad Hilton.
Daughters Going
Planning to 60 out with them
are Mr.. Harriman's two daugh-
ters. Mrs. Stanley G. Mortimer.
and Mrs. Shirley c. Fisk, both of
New York City. Mrs. Mortimer is
the former Kathleen Hartman,
who was her fathers hostess when
he was our Ambassador to Russia.
Also making the trip of course
will be Miss Grace Tully, who has
played such large part in the
Hartman campaign. This is old
stuff to her since she has been
to all the Democratic conventions
since 1882 except the last one. In
1882 she was working with the
late President Roosevelt and flew
out with him when he made his
acceptance speech.
When asked how she felt about
the situation over the weekend
she said, "I have great confidence
that we will win" This was even
strengthened when she heard Gov.
Adlai Stevenson's statement that
he wanted no other Office other
than the one he now has.
First convention
II am thrilled and looking for
ward to the convention, having
never been to one before" said
Mrs. Kefauver on Saturday. She
was busy dashing about getting
ready to meet her husband at the
airport from where they were 60
ing to take off for a weekend
at a nearby resort.
Senator and Mrs. Kefauver will
fly out to Chicago on Thursday
and will stay at the Sherman
Hotel. What, southern Senator
putting up at a hotel by that
name? Well, the Civil War is
over!
Anyone fashion minded better
keep their eyes on this vivacious
potential first lady. Most of her
wardrobe for the convention will
be dark cottons. She will travel
in a gray cotton suit and a white
hat. She also plans to take a
white embroidered linen after
noon dress and a black sheer
frock trimmed with white for
more formal occasions. Having
made most of her own clothes
until the last year, when she
hasn't had time. Nancy Kefauver
is style conscious.
Tennessee Vocotion
AS soon as the convention is
over the Senator and his pretty
red haired wife will go to their
farm in Tennessee for a much
needed rest with their four chill
dren. Linda 10. David 6, Diane 4,
and Gail l9 months are already
there with Mrs. Paul McQuiddy,
their aunt.
When asked about the reported
romance between son David and
Miss Patricia Nixon, we were told
that it could not be confirmed on
the Kefauver side of the family
since David was not there to do it
himself. So it would seem that the
young Kefauvers are left to make
their own decisions.
Part of Nancy Kefauver's antic-
ipation of the convention is that
she feels e part of it myself. "
The sparkle and dash she has is
also supplemented with a serious
side. one that seems to have grown
