There is nothing to indicate he

been those of man who has &C
cepted one defeat as final. Even
on q world trip he has kept his
name before the people at home
through his writings and state
ments.
But ii is becoming evident that
an influential part Of the Demo-
cratic party doesn't intend to see
the 1856 presidential nomination 60

There were many Democratic
lealeds, particularly the old regu-

jockeying for favorable position be-
fore the convention,
That convention is a long time
distant measured by political mile
age. But il seems safe to predict
the man who wins next time will
have to 60 out and fight for the
nomination. It's doubtful there will
be another draft.

in the governors mansion talking
to q small group.
He was asked If he believed .
political party should be put into
the position Of having to draft its
presidential candidaie-if this was
good for the party.
He replied quickly: .'Of course. :"
He went on 10 say that for too
many years the system had grown
in which men set themselves I'D
as leaders by announcing. 81 am
a leader and have the quaIifica-
tions to be president. !" Then. he
added, these men proceeded to sch
the people on the idea they were
leaders.
He argued the democratic way
was for the people to choose their
own leaders. The point was that
the impetus should come from the
Epeople-not from someone selling
himself.
At that time Stevenson also said
that in accepting the nomination.
he also had accepted the respon-

had been President Truman's.

spotted sponge was found on the
ground about 2 feet from the
car.
Identification experts were
