of-factly, Il have reached the
conclusion that it would be
the best Judgment of the con-
vention to nominate Senator
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas

His statement was so COM

that he was asked few ques-
tons.
The text of Senator Ken
nedy's announcement:
After discussions with all
elements of the Democratic
Party leadership, I have reached
the conclusion that it would be
the best judgment of the con-
vention to nominate Senator
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas
for the Office of Vice President.
His long experience dates
back to the administrations of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. On four
separate occasions he has been
chosen unanimously by his Sem
ate colleagues for the Demo-
cratic leadership of that body.
He has earned the Endorsement
of all so States through his Wig
orouS and positive leadership.
II have said manystimes that
in these days of great challenge,
Americans must have a Vice
President capable of dealing
with the grave problems con-
fronting this Nation and the
free world. We need men of
strength if we are to be strong
and If we are to prevail and
lead the world on the road Of
freedom. Lyndon johnson has
demonstrated on many occa-
sions his brilliant qualifications
for the leadership we require
today. I understand Gov. David
Lawrence of Pennsylvania will
present his name in nomina-
ton and that Senator Jackson

man william Dawson of Illi-
nois will second it. I hope the
convention will nominate Sem
ator Johnson"

LOS ANGELES, July 49,
Southern leaders were gener-
ally agreed today that the
Democrats greatly enhanced
their chances of holding on to
the South by nominating Sem
ator johnson for Vice Presi-
dent. %
They emphasized, however
that they would have preferred
it If the ticket were reversed.
The Republican Party has
made inroads into the tradi-
tionally Solid South in the last
two presidential elections
There had been talk of ever
more widespread defections
from the party if the Demo
Gratis had put up a candidate
considered too liberal below the
MaSon-Dixon Line.
There was a brief rhubart
among the Georgia delegate;
when last nights session be-
gan. Some thought they should
nominate Gov. Vandiver just
to show how strongly Georgia
felt against the civil rights
program the Democrats will be
running on.
Rejects Idea
But after a huddle with
several other Southern leaders
Gov. Vandiver decided not Il
let his name be placed before
the convention. When tn,
placard parade began for Sen.
ator johnson, all the Southern
States were represented = in.
cluding those that had stayed
in their places when Senator
Kennedy won the presidential
nomination.
Gov. Vandiver was amonI
the State leaders Senator Ken
Inedy conferred with earlier il
the day about the choice of ;
Vice President.
The Georgia Governor re-
ported that he told Senate
Kennedy the addition Of Sena
tor johnson ''undoubtedl,

his State.
But when the vice presiden
tial nominating session began
part of the Georgia delegation
did not want to go along will

spot. They still wanted to pu
up Gov. Vandiver's name.
Delegates Angry.

Others argued that the nomi

the Southern reputation o
the platform the day before

on that than anything we'v,

gate countered.
While the Georgia delegate!
were arguing among themselve
in the aisles, Gov. Vandive,
huddled with Senator HOLLAND
of Florida and Gov. Ross Bar
nett of Mississippi.

way back into the cave of a
caucus room, Gov. Freeman
himself huddled with Mr.. Ken
ney and Mr.. Nathan. Don't
do it," he said. Mr.. Nathan
acquiesced.
Revised strategy was to pass
on the nominating roll call with
an explanation that six of
nine District votes had been
refused Senator johnson.
The six, the same offered
Gov. Freeman before, came
from IL delegates: Shackleton,
Dudley, Jackson. Duncan, To-
briner, Nathan, Cipriani, Weav-
er, Atkinson, Rauh, Spingarn
and Ross, as alternate for Turn

Chairman Kenney asked per-
mission for Mr.. Nathan to an
Inounce the dissent.
II don't want to do it. don't
wish to have any part of it. I
think it is very unwise," he
said.
Delegates Confer
Back on the floor, the pres
sure was terrific.
A Texas delegate drawled,
"You can't vote anyhow. What
difference do you make?" A
colored delegate from Indiana
said. isn't that something?

A short time later, he an
nounced that his name would
not be placed. in nomination.
Sees Improved Chance
Senator Holland declared
that the addition of Senator
johnson to the Democratic
ticket will greatly enhance our
chances of carrying Florida. I"
His State has gone Repub-
lican in the last two presi-
Dental contests. This time, he
said, there is an excellent
chance" the State will GO
Democratic.
State Senator Edgar Brown,
national committeeman from
South Carolina, gave the Ken
nedy- johnson ticket one of its
most enthusiastic Endorsements
among delegates from the Deep
South.
mot only will it help the
ticket in my State, it will sweep
the country" he predicted.
Guy Hardwick, a member OF
the bama delegation,
agreed that he thought the
Democrats would carry Ala
bama ard the rest of the South.
Governors Enthusiastic
Gov. Ellington of Tennessee,
who earlier had said Senator
Kennedy could not carry hi:
State, declared after the john
son nomination: 1.-The Demo
Gratis will win now" He SAID
he would work for the ticket
Tennessee was in the Eisen-
hover column last time.
Gov. Luther Hodges of North
Carolina was also enthusiastic
johnson on the ticket will
help the Democrats in North
Carolina and the whole coun-
try" he said. Senator Ken
nedy is a man of great integ-
rity. He is a realistic Demo
crat and has picked the best
man in the country for the
ticket"
Senator Stennis of Missis-
sippi concurred that the selec-
ton Of Senator Johnson has
added strength to the ticket,
and said at will help us carry
the South"
Almond View
Virginia'S Gov. Almond, who
was among those giving
speeches to second the johnson
vice presidential nomination
predicted that his State also
would find it easier to return
to the Democratic fold after
two presidential elections in the
Republican colupn.
Spokesman for the Deer
South did not want to rule Out
the possibility that independent
electors would be put up ir
their States. Most have laws
permitting that procedure tt
avoid supporting the nationa,
Democratic nominee. At a Sc
cret huddle the previous day
there had been a discussion Of
that possibility.
1t was understood they didn't
want to shut the door on thi:
possibility because they still
wanted a club to use against
the party platform that they
find so distasteful. But they
privately conceded that there
was not so much talk Of rumr
conventions after Senator
Johnson's name was added tt
| the 1860 Democratic ticket.

VI avn Woo O14C Va WIG 4CW p1A
did not confer personally with
Senator Kennedy yesterday.
Whether there were tele-
phone conversations between
the Missouri Senator and the
new Democratic presidential
nominee was not disclosed.
In his first day as Demo-
cratic presidential candidate
Senator Kennedy put on a show
of skill. suspense, persuasive
ability and directness of action.
His performance in obtaining
the nomination OF Lyndon
Johnson prevented any morn
ing latter letdown following the
excitement of his own presiden-
tial nomination the night be-
fore.
Arriving at his downtown
hotel headquarters, the nomi-
nee wasted no time. He went
fight to work, with no attempt
to seek complete seclusion.
Enjoys FOrays
He seemed to enjoy making
forays to other suites to see
Senator johnson and Speaker
Rayburn or into the corridor
for Misunderstanding photographs
and carefully framed off-the-
cuff comments to reporters.
All that, however, was merely
the trimming. Inside his head
quarters all day he talked with
a constant procession of visit
ing Governors and Senators,
political potentates, labor lead
ers, and delegates.
The main topic of conversa-
ton and sometimes of contro-
versy was 1.-The man who" ought
to have the presidential NOM
inee'S recommendation for the
vice presidential nomination.
Senator Kennedy, according
to practically all outside inter-
views or private comments by
visitors, kept his own counsel.
But the name of Senator john
son began to be mentioned in
and out of the Kennedy suite.
At first it was coupled with
several others-Senators Sy-
mington of Missouri and jack
son of Washington and Gov.
Freeman of Minnesota. Gov.
Luther Hodges of North Caro-
lima was urged upon him by
Virginia's Gov. Almond and
several others.
Merely Listened
For the most part, Senator
Kennedy merely listened. He or
his aides periodically sent out
word that he expected to make
a recommendation Gin a couple
of hours" Five hours passed
before the word came.
Meanwhile, he encouraged
speculation by taking a walk
downstairs from the ninth to
the seventh floor for a 25-min-
ute private meeting with Sen
ator johnson.
Later the Texan provided
some suspense of his own when
he held an impromptu news
conference outside his rooms.
He did not disclose whether he
had been offered or accepted a
Kennedy recommendation for
the No. 2 place on the ticket.
But he said just enough. and
left just enough unsaid.
THE vice presidential NOM
inee ought to be someone the
presidential nominee really
wants." he commented cryp-
tically.
Two flights up again. Senator
Kennedy continued to confer
with Cows. Almond, Lawrence
of Pennsylvania, Hollings of
South Carolina, Vandiver of
Georgia, Brown of California,
and williams of Michigan.
Meets Clifford
Last of all, before the tits
johnson" announcement, he
talked briefly with Mr.. Clifford
of the Symington camp.
Senators jackson and Gore
of Tennessee were among con-
greSsional colleagues ushered
into the presidential nominees
suite. Before he went in, Sena-
tor jackson declared he would
gladly accept a nomination for
the vice presidency.
