MUSKOGEE, Okla, oct. 6 (P).
An unruff1ed Estes Kefauver to-
night finished a weeks $1,000
mile tour through territory vital
to Democratic hopes this fall and
declared, II see the pattern of
victory forming for our Demo-
cratic cause"
The Democratic vice presiden-
tial candidate told newsmen he
was highly optimistic Adlai E.
Stevenson and he would carry
four of the States he has visited
since Monday-Texas. New Mex
leo. Arizona and Oklahoma. He
said they had a good fighting
chance in the two others where
he has appeared-California and
Colorado.
The four Southwestern States
claimed by him are considered
privately by Democratic strate-
gists to be vital to any victory
combination they can hope to
put together nationally this
time.
Senator Kefauver'S transcon-
tinental travelogue for the week
brought to almost 10000 miles
the distance he has covered since
he started campaigning on his
own in mid-September. He has
been on the voters trail for %
days and visited 81 States.
The final day of his latest
tour took him through four Okla
homa townS-Alva. Enid, Ponca
City and Muskogee. Part of the
time he was in swirling dust
which gave singing point to the
continuous emphasis he puts on
drought relief in his speeches.
Local Democratic leaders in
all the Southwestern States have
made it quite clear they expect
the long drought to produce farm
votes for them.
On his Sooner State swing the
Tennesseean bore down heavily
on the Democratic record in fos-
tering water conservation prof.
ects and dam construction.
In his speech prepared for his
last rally here. he declared:
