Democrats and 1860 Races

Mr.. Mccarthy prevails in
that race. he and his friends
must necessarily back Sem
ator Humphrey should the
Senator decide-as undoubt-
eddy he will-to enter Wis
consin against Senator Ken
nedy.
Another primary pace-set-
ter still waiting in the wings
is Gov. Mennen Williams of
Michigan. an iron man on the
circuit and a prime favorite
of labor which has so i'm
portant a voice in Wisconsin
Democratic politics.
No De ocrat contested
Wisconsin against Senator
Estes Kefauver in 1856. In
1860, it may become the
make-or-break primary for
numerous hopefuls.
One figure who will not be
in WiSconsin's or any other
primary is Mr.. Stevenson.
He has faced the fact that
his 1856 campaign was less
effective than his 1852 effort.
He blames it largely on the
drain of time. money and
ideas which the hard-fought
primaries cost him.
Mr.. Stevenson'S main
chance. it now seems, will
depend on his receiving as
he did in 1852 from his party
and its leaders one clear call.

When one unfolds the pa

those who report the news is
bad. There is no area in
the world where the United
States is not taking a fearful
shellacking, or is holding on
through governments of du-

the recession refuses to re-

But in official speeches,
statements, and answers to

ences one is assured that
nothing is wrong about our
foreign policy and that pros
perity is just around the cor
ner." All that is needed is
confidence, calm and ener-
getic craftsmanship.
Whom do the Government
and its Charlie McCarthys

Never has the outsider,
however knowledgeable, been
so utterly without influence

outsiders must be counted
