was a member Of the Minnesota
delegation and one Of the most
sought after delegates. Newman
had been an ardent Kefauver dele
gate and when the latter quit the
race he switched to Hartman.
Usually colored delegates can be
assumed 10 represent the thinking
OF their own people. But Newman,
whose newspaper has large
white subscription list. is credited
with great influence in his dele
cation regardless OF race. II Is
openly admitted that many of the
Minnesota delegation were In
chned to be anti-Stevenson be-
cause OF the definite influence OF
Cecil Newman. The result was
that Stevenson delegates and
friends were paying great court to
Newman because they wanted
every Minnesota delegate they
could get. There seemed to be no
single delegate OF color who com
handed so much attention.

both Humphrey and Kefauver re-

impossible. Most delegates were
skeptical Of either OF the candi-

The Stevenson delegates who
had been opponents OF Kefauver
cheered like mad when Kefauver
turned the Kennedy tidal wave be-
