Ike Leads Estes 60-40 Per Cent In Indiana Voting
The Indiana vote was one of five state primaries held Tuesday as part of party nominating machinery for the 1956 conventions and elections. Of the five, only Indiana provided any test for candidates for the presidential nominations.
WASHINGTON (UP)—Indiana primary returns showed President Eisenhower leading Sen. Estes Kefauver today, 60 per cent to 40 per cent, about the same margin he polled when he carried the state in the 1952 election.
However, the Florida Democratic primary gave some fresh clues to southern thinking about the explosive issue of racial segregation. Gov. Leroy Collins, labeled a moderate on this issue, won over five opponents in his bid for renomination.
In Texas, Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson won control last Saturday of the party organization from Gov. Allan Shivers, who sought to exploit the segregation issue.
