Hard Fight in California
Should Mr.. Stevenson win all
these States he would receive 206
electoral votes-as compared to
tn" 80 he won in 1852.
Listed in the "sure" column
for Mr.. Eisenhower are several
States which may be close, but
the preponderance of opinion
gives them to the President. This
is true of California, Iowa, Mas
sachusetts and Michigan.
The battle in California has
been hard fought. The Democrats
there have huge margin in the
number Of registered voters-but
they had that four years ago, too.
In Iowa. the heart Of the corn
hog belt. the Democrats rely on
farmer resentment against lower
farm income and high prices for
what farmers buy. 1t does not
appear, however, that enough of
the farmers will vote Democratic
to swing the State to Mr.. Ste
venson.
The Democrats in Michigan,
under the lead Of Gov. g.
Mennen-. Williams and Walter
Reuther, head Of the United
Auto Workers and vice president
Of the AFL-CIO, have waged a
hard fight for Mr.. Stevenson.
But it does not appear they will
succeed.
Massachusetts, which had not
gone Republican in a presiden-
tial race since 1924, was won by
Mr.. Eisenhower in 1852, and APP
pears to be sticking with him
now.
Pennsylvania and Maryland
Pennsylvania. although listed
as leaning" to MIR. Eisenhower,
seems on the way to the Repub-
lican column. Notwithstanding
the fact that the State elected a
Democratic Governor two years
ago. Maryland, which has been
a true political weather vane in
presidential races in the past,
also seems bent on giving its
electoral votes to Mr.. Eisenhower
as it did four years ago.
In the "sure"-for- Stevenson
column, Texas is battle-ground.
Mr.. Eisenhower won it in 1852.
and the present hazardous inter-
national situation might swing
1t to him again. The same is
true of Tennessee.
Mr. Eisenhower is not out of
the running in several Of the
States listed as leaning" to Mr..
Stevenson = specifically Mime
sofa, Rhode Island, Florida,
Washington. Kentucky and Vir-
ginia. Florida, of all the States
of the ''Solid South" is consid-
cred the most likely to support
the Republican presidential can
didate-as it did in 1852.
The race in Virginia is COM
plicated by the entry of the
States Rights Candidate, IT,
Coleman Andrews. The Republi-
cans have by no means given up
in Minnesota nor in Washington.
Kentucky. rent by factionalI
Democratic rows, remains un-|
certain.
