Stevenson And Kefauver Clash Tuesday
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UP)—Adalai E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver, the two top contenders for the Democratic Presidential nomination, get their first real test of comparative strength in Minnesota's primary next Tuesday.
Both men have put a big effort into winning a Minnesota victory, Mr. Stevenson making two swings through the state and Sen. Kefauver three.
Just as Sen. Kefauver was favored in New Hampshire, Mr. Stevenson is favored in Minnesota, where he has the support of the state Democratic organization. But Sen. Kefauver is expected to get a psychological left from his New Hampshire victory.
Looking toward Minnesota, one Stevenson backer in the Senate gave this private estimate.
Mr. Kefauver can afford to lose Mr. Stevenson can't. Mr. Stevenson has his work cut out for him. He must win Minnesota decisively."
Sen. Kefaauer may corral a sizeable number of national convention delegates in the primaries. There is no indication yet that he would be any more acceptable than in 1552 to fellow senators and big city machines which wield great power at the conventions.
