Senator Estes Kefauver whose
supporters call him the peoples
candidate"
The Republican slate certain to
be named favors Eisenhower.
The Democratic contest has had
many dramatic moments. Steven
son was endorsed by the Demo-
cratic state central committee in
Duluth in which it is claimed
only 70 of the 200 members parti-
cipated.
Later, after much pleading by
DFL members who did not like
the tactics of the Humphrey
Freeman controlled group at
Duluth, persuaded Senator Ke-
fauver to enter the race which he
finally did in February.
Adlai Stevenson came to Min
nesota Jan. II to file and met an
enthusiastic reception. However,
at a press conference held on the
same day a reporter for the
Spokesman and Recorder papers
asked his views on the NAACP
backed Powell amendment which
would bar Federal school aid to
states and districts that have not
proceeded to desegregste schools
as ordered by the U. S. Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Stevenson said he was ire
vocably opposed to the Powell a.
mendment This surprised many
of the liberals in DFL circles who
expected his support of some such
program to get the South in line
with the Constitution on the
school issue.
Mr.. Stevenson later ampHfied
his position in a letter to the
editor Of this paper. His position
was that any such amendment
would threaten the passage Of the
school aid bill and that it was
more important to get such a
measure passed in the interest of
all the school children OF the ma
ton.
In his judgement, Mr.. Steven
son said the Supreme Court de-
cision took care of the problem

unue active, despite a hint OF
division over barring Jewish
members, an issue between the
two major blocs of Alabama coun-
ell groups.
In this hiatus, some persons
are reconsidering what is today
the mental state in the Deep
South. 1t is first important TO
note that the area Of the arch
conservative South has been
definitely fixed at five states:
South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Two Classes Find Common
Ground
II is obvious that the old
southern "aristocracy' or its
heirs plus latter-day "nouveau
richie, have found common
ground once more with the la
boring class, as they both op-
pose Negro encroachment The
upper classes fatty deny the
principle Of equality. The lower
economic groups may fear job
rivalry, but Is Is more likely right
now that they share an illusion
that they are interchangeable
with the upper classes as descend
ants Of the best Of the Old
South"
That kind OF alliance Is not new
in Dixie. But during the Roose-
welt era poverty reduced atten-
ton to race matters 10 such a
point that an appearance Of more
tolerance became evident That IL
was a superficial tolerance at
best now seems apparent insofar
as the race issue Is concerned.
During that period such men as
