Jacob Arvey, prime Stevenson
booster, declares.
The Chicago Democratic leader,
here for a To-day "non-political"

ut won't be an easy election,
but before it's over Stevenson will
show he can take of his gloves
and fight.
Il can't see that Stevenson will
lose any State that Truman won
in '48. and most of our committee
says he ought to carry the four
States in the South that Truman
lost
HE should carry New York,

cost Truman in the last election. {"

Senator Nixon, opening his
campaign for the vice presidency
before the Ohio Republican state
convention. said the Democrats
offer the nation a man who is
captive to the CIO. big city
machines and President Truman.
The fact that Mr.. Truman
handpicked Gov. Stevenson and

Senator John j. Sparkman as a
running-mate "iS going to be one
OF the major liabilities that Mr..
Stevenson is going to have to
carry in this campaign" Senator
Nixon said.

and condoned and covered up un-
til it was too late to put this man

Jail for perjury instead"

partment official imprisoned for
perjury in denying he turned over
