F.. "Jiggs" Donahue lost in his
bid for delegate seat at the Chi
cago August Convention as well as
his bid for the Democratic Nation
al Committeeman from the District
Of Columbia.
Stevenson's success in the cleo

civil rights and his advocacy of
home-rule and the franchise for
District citizens. In addition to
DR.. Butcher, Attorney Lawson,
Mrs. Duncan, and Mrs. Williams,
Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
campaigned extensively for Gov

The Washington election marked
a continuing trend of Negro sup
port for Stevenson throughout the
country. Earlier this year, Steven
son carried the Negro area in st.
Paul, Minnesota by 2-to-1 and was
victorious on Chicago's southside
by a 35O-to-1 margin. Stevenson
has scored similar victories in the
