as liberal and progressive, were
supporting Mr.. Stevenson.
You'll have to ask them," was
the answer.
Mr.. Truman said the chances
of Democratic victory were per
fectly wonderful" if the Demo-
cratic Party has the-right kind
of candidate.
AS his conference drew to a
close Mr.. Truman said that
there is nothing personal" in
his opposition to Stevenson.
I'm fact, I like him personally, 4"
Mr.. Truman said.
AS regards the impetus of the
Stevenson bandwagon, there is
an unconfirmed rumor at the
convention that Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas, favorite son
candidate of the Lone Star State,
will take himself out of the race
after he has been placed in nom
nation. This would free the
Texas delegation to support Mr..
Stevenson. Most of the delegates
in the State will then vote for
Mr.. Stevenson.
Other Southern State delega-
lions are already supporting Mr..
Stevenson, among them LOUISE
ana and Florida. 1t has been
made abundantly clear that the
Southern delegates, practically
to a man, prefer Mr.. Stevenson,
a moderate" to Mr.. Hartman,
whom they consider a radical
on the civil rights issue and on
other issues.
In another eleventh-hour move
to block Stevenson nomination,
the Hartman camp put out a
statement charging that Mr.. Ste
'venson promised Senator Ke-
.fauver of Tennessee, a vice pres
idential nomination at the time
Senator Kefauver withdrew from
the presidential race and threw
his support to Mr.. Stevenson. The
aim of the Hartman people was
to anger other potential vice
presidential candidates and keep
the votes away from Mr.. Steven
son.
The Hartman forces refuse
to admit that the New York Gov
ernor is on the way to defeat.
Indeed, they contend that he will
ultimately be nominated. That
there are many uncommitted and
undecided delegates who can take
the nomination away from Mr..
Stevenson and give it to the New
Yorker. They insist that Mr..
Hartman will go into the con-
vention balloting with between
300 and 400 delegates, and not
far behind Stevenson.
