Barkley Wins In Kentucky
Alben Barkley, aging but popular ex-senator and ex-vice president, roared back politically today to beat Republican John Sherman Cooper in Kentucky's senatorial race.
Mr. Barkley, along with Mr. Truman, was suggested for vice president when Roosevelt ran for his fourth term.
Democrat Barkley ran behind Sen. Cooper in the early returns, as the voting machines tabulations in Lexington and Louisville, where Sen. Cooper draws most of his support, were counted first.
When the hand vote was tabulated, however, Barkley forged far ahead.
Sen. Cooper conceded around 9:30 p.m. (CST).
With 40 per cent of the vote in the figures were Mr. Barkley 202,-000; Cooper 166,000.
It was predicted that the final tally would give a 50,000 to 75,000 majority to Barkley.
Plans for freshmen elections to be held today were completed last night in a meeting of Allied Greek Independents held in the Pine room of the Student Union.
