primary elections have to give
their party designation. 1t has
tended, the Democrats say, to
strengthen party spirit. Under
the old system, candidates ran
in the primaries for both Repub-
Ilican and Democratic nominal
Itions for Office, without stating
on the ballots to which party
they belonged.
Another angle which gives the
Democrats hope arises from the
Igreat amount of campaigning
which Mr.. Stevenson and Sena-
tor Estes Kefauver, the party's
Ivice presidential candidate, have
done in California this year.
Each had his own organization
for the presidential primary last
June 5. Now that they have
Joined forces on the Democratic
national ticket, these personal

cratic victory.
Delegate Fight Was Bitter
The Stevenson Kefauver cam
Ipaign for delegates to the DEM
ocratic National Convention was
bitter in the extreme. Both can
didateS spoke harshly of each
other. One of Senator Kefauver'S
comments was to the effect that
Iif Mr.. Stevenson were nominated
for President, it would be tanta-
mount to handing the election to
Eisenhower again.

Gratis insist, has evaporated and

Robert H. Steele. Republican
chairman for the San Francisco
area, told me reports that the
Republican organization is lag
ging are unfounded. AS a mat
ter of fact, he insisted, the party
organization is in good shape and
better than the Democratic.
Four years ago, for the first
time since 1923, San Francisco
went Republican. The Eisen-
/ hover lead over Mr.. Stevenson
was about $4,000 votes. Mr.
Steele said he believes Sar
, Francisco will again give the
President a lead-and he said il

1852. This appears optimistic

now. They say. too. that they
expect to have more votes from
minority groups, particularly the
Negroes and the Chinese, than
they had four years ago. Ever
since Roosevelt days, the Negro
vote, which has been on the in
crease. has stuck by the DEM

years-creates a political puzzle.

venson and Senator Kefauver.
Eisenhower Visit Expected
The Republicans, with Sena-
tor Knowland and Gov. Goodwin
j. Knight spearheading, are
planning hard drive from now
until Election Day. Like the
Democrats, they will import i'm
portant Republican speakers to
help. And it is expected that
President Eisenhower himself
will come here late this month.
Gov. Knight was strongly
opposed to the denomination of
Mr.. Nixon. on the ground that
it would hurt rather than help
the President to win a second
term. Gov. Knights attitude
caused a rift in the party. But
this has largely been healed. Mr..
Nixon ha smany followers and
admirers in the State, some of
them of the old Taft variety
conservative in the extreme. His
presence on the ticket, it is
argued will keep these voters in
line.
Furthermore, Mr.. Nixon car
Iried California in 1850 in a big
way when he ran for the Senate.
AS a campaigner, he has proved
himself effective. and he is doing
so again.

Senator Kefauver said that
following the Presidents veto OF

to Republican headquarters in
Washington that the farmers
didn't like the veto. So Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
Benson have come up with the
idea of preparing the farmers
for land they would Withdraw
from production. Under their
plan this would cost about $500
million.
What this means is that the
Republicans, realizing how much
the farmers need money are
perfectly willing to hand out a

this November. And a very poor
bride it is since the farmer
