Stevenson Fuvored

DIES MONIES, June 2 Dr.
The Iowa delegation to the
Democratic National Conven-
ton at Chicago in August will
go uninstructed but there are
indications that a majority pre-
fers Adlai Stevenson.
The State presidential conven-
ton here yesterday named 80
delegates and alternates to cast
Iowa'S "a votes. No effort was
made to instruct the group in
the quietest State Democratic
meeting here in years.
The State convention picked
IS half-voting delegates from
congressional districts and of
those willing to give their own

night" against the Republicans In
November.
Mr.. Stevenson, after four
months of intensive campaigning
for the presidential nomination
was relaxed and almost gay as he
ended his final swing through
Southern California. Pleased
especially by the outlook in the
Ivote-heavy Los Angeles area. he
heads today for the San Joaquin
Valley. where he is known to
feel that Senator Kefauver is
strong.
He told an outdoor rally in
nearby Ell Monte that his con-
test with the Tennessee Senator
for CALIFORNIA; So Democratic
delegates will do more than
any other single election this
spring to influence the choice OF
the Democratic convention In
August"
Kissed by Three Women
Three women planted kisses
on him as he pushed through
an estimated $50 persons in the
audience to the platform. He
Iquipped, I'm afraid to think
I'm having all my luck this
week."
Mr.. Stevenson, a changed man
since his primary victories in
Oregon and Florida, TESTED about
his Minnesota defeat by Senator
IKefauver but at no time men
TONED his party rival by name.
II do not care to and I'm not
going to answer the kind of
personal attacks which the other
Democratic candidate for Pres

II do not wish to degrade
either myself or my opponent or
hurt the Democratic Party or
|demean the greatest Office in' the
world.
There is only one answer to
such tactics. 1t is in your hands
and I think l know what your
answer next Tuesday will be-"
Voices Optimism
Mr.. Stevenson predicted the
Democratic Party will carry Cali
fornia on the issues and what he
called the failures of the Eisen-
hover administration land not
on anything else" This was in
reply to Senator Kefauver'S
statement yesterday that win
for Mr.. Stevenson in. the States

and Jimmy Casey, children OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Casey OF
nearby Rural Hall.
One day a truck hit Ways and
the little dog was lying limp and
unconscious when the fearful
children reached him and carried
him home.
The Caseys tried for half an
hour to revive the little dog but,
finally. they had to lace what
seemed to be the tragic fact:
Ways was dead. "A neighbor,
Calhoun Rutledge, offered to
spare the Caseys the sad duty OF
burying Ways. He took the body
to a patch of woods a half mile
from the house.
There, as a rain storm gath
cred, he dug a shallow grave,
hastily covered the little dogs
body and hurried away for shell
ter before the storm broke.
The children mourned their
little lost dog, and then, one
happy day, another little dog, a
terrier they named "PuttSie, +"
came to live with them. Puttsie
filled some of the emptiness that
Ways death brought to the
house.
This week, Casey got a tele-
phone call. Sam Kiger was on
the line. your dead dogs here"
he said. Kiger lives several miles
from the Casey home, but he
lives in the house that the Casey's
occupied when Ways was a
puppy.

Forgetting that he'd moved be-
fore the truck hit him, Ways had
gone back to the home Of his
|puppyhood.
And when he and the children
got together. there was no doubt
in the mind of even the most
skeptical that Ways was back.
More generally accepted is the
view that the unconscious Ways
revived when the cold October
rain trickled into his shallow
grave and then managed to dig
his way free of the rain-looSened
soil,

Former State Senator Robert II

The fire was discovered about
