think Kefauver would get more
votes than any one else Mr.
Lausche? Il don't think he fig

Rock Hill, S. ct is six and

A lot of changes can happen in
the domestic and international
picture to reverse what I see
today as Mr.. Eisenhower in the
lead. We know there are going
to be some changes, but we don't
know what the changes will be. .
On which Democrat would
have the best chance: I'D say
the one who could come nearest
to keeping the Democratic Farty
united, think it would probably
be one who is not among today S

A number were impressed by
Senator Kefauver's vote-getting
ability. Gov. Frank Lausche of

he did not believe the Demo-

Half Year Away
There were some comments on
the division in the Democratic
Party. Some editors pointed out
that the election is more than a
half year off and that it's not
over until the votes are counted.
There was some mention of
President Eisenhower's health.
There were some pointed nom
mentions of it. And some off,
the-record mentions of it. The
sum was that it has to be taken
into consideration, but that Mr..
Eisenhower was away out ahead
anyway.
A few editors, decided that poll

want to discuss.
