Russell Of Georgia. Prior to the
Florida primary they" said that
Senator Kefauver was unaccept-
able to Southerners and that
Senator Russell would go to the
convention with the largest bloc
Of delegates Of any candidate
the roughly 800 votes of the
solid South. minus only Senator
Kefauver's Tennessee.
Floridians dented that assur-
ance. The run-off primary re-
mains but it appears that SEN
ator Kefauver will get some
delegates out of it, and he has
definitely disposed of the orig
inal legend. The Russell people
are intensifying their efforts
and getting some results as the
weekend accession Of the two
Alabama Senators shows. But
Senator Kefauver, too, will pur-
sue his advantage, and 1t seems
clear will have Southerners to
add to his Tennesseans.
In any case, Senator Russell,
by the nature Of his major back
ers and the kind Of campaign he
apparently felt obliged to wage
in Florida, remains a sectional
candidate. He cannot be nomi-
mated under any set Of circum-
stances likely to occur at the
convention.
Labor will take Senator Ke-
fauver. Its leaders, however, un-
derstand very well the need Of
preserving their position with
the party: they will not fight for
him If another candidate, such
as Gov. Adlai Stevenson, accept
able to all factions, can be had.
The minority groups, which
overlap with labor, take in the
same general position.

the anti-administration liberals
and progressives. This was the
year in which the progressives
or the 'Bull Moose" faction. as
it was then known. broke away
from the Republican national
convention at Chicago and
formed a third party-a revolt
which resulted in the easy elec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson, who
polled less than the total COM
bined popular vote Of Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt. MIR. Taft
got only 8 electoral votes and
Mr.. Roosevelt. So. Mr.. Wilson
rode into Office with q total
electoral vote of 435, far more
than the 266 required.
Many people who travelled
across the country during that
campaign. as did this CORES
pondent. were indeed i'm
pressed by the vehemence and
bitterness between the factions
in the Republican Party. Former
President Roosevelt went so far
over to the radical side that he
even favored in his public ad-
dresses a constitutional amend
ment which would permit Con-
gress to veto Supreme Court de-
cisions. At one time he advo-
Gated the recall not only of the
decisions. but the recall Of the
Supreme Court justices them
selves.
But while the 1912 campaign
divided the followers Of the So
called conservative and progress
sive candidates very sharply,
there is no such cleavage today
between the supporters of Gen.
Eisenhower and those of Sen
ator Taft. If one examines the
sources Of support for the two
rivals, it will be found, of course,
that the bulk Of the conserva-
tive Republican faction is be-
hind the Ohio Senator, while

about the wisdom Of q pro-

Because Of the great popular

comes more and more difficult
to raise this question as it tends

primaries that offer no real op-

ending with the convention it
self where, as a result Of that
preliminary defect in the nomi-

often becomes one Of negoti-
alton by q handful Of leaders
or 'bosses."
A convention could rise to the
occasion and select someone else

Nevertheless, the "they" who

TO LOSE BEST PLAYERS

The Smyrna High School Eagles
football team ended one of its
worst seasons of football last week
as they bowed to the forces OF
Caesar Rodney High School ESQ.
Not since 1949 did the Eagles en-
dure such a bad season of the fall
sport. The 1949 team, captained
by 'Buzzy" Smith, was handed
three defeats in their four games.
The '49 team was the first football
team that Smyrna High School
had sponsored in many years.
Since the 1949 team had no exper-
ience of outside competition, they
did better than this years squad
who won only one game in SIX
starts. Up to this campaign the
Eagles had compiled a record OF
6 wins, 9 defeats, and 1 tie. With
this years record added on it will
be Z wins, IA defeats, and tie. II

tition the record for each year l:
as follows: 1949, 1870; $40; 1851

show that this was the Eagles
worst season in four years o.
competition. Despite this years
bad record, it was expected that
