Minnesota's Amazing Vote
" The Minnesota primary Tuesday produces a much bigger
surprise than New Hampshire did last week, but it is
the same kind of a surprise. After New Hampshire voted
the public might have been better prepared for it, but
evidently wasn't.
The revelation is that Adlai Stevenson is far weaker with
the voting public than has been assumed, while Estes Kefau
ver is much stronger. This was shown when Stevenson failed
to pick up a substantial write-in vole in New Hampshire,
where the party organization was solidly for him, but it was
excused because "after all, his name wasn't on the ballot."
Nixon's wasn't either, but look what happened in his case.
Minnesota was supposed to be in Stevenson's bag. He had
everything it appeared. He was endorsed by the central
committees of both the Karmer-Labor and the Democratic
parties. He was vigorously supported by Senator Humphrey
and Governor Freeman. The organization was for him. And
he campaigned the state. Kefauver was so sure he was the
underdog that he sought to minimize his expected defeat by
saying he would consider more than 30 percent of the Demo
cratic vote a victory. A modest view indeed.
This morning, with most of the votes counted Kefauver
had 202,481 to 157,441 for Stevenson, a lead of more than
45,000. Some Republicans invaded the Democratic primary?
No doubt they did, for there wasn't much to lure them into
their own primary where Eisenhower defeated Senator
Knowland 170,439 to 2774. Knowland had announced his
withdrawal. But Republicans who voted for Kefauver must
have liked the breezy Tennesseean, who whether one thinks
him qualified for president or not is a terrific vote getter.
And Adlai must have gotten some Republican voles. The
i Republicans were never before known to all vote the same
way in a contest and probably didn't this time. Most of them
doubtless stayed home when there were no contests of
importance in their party.
Discount it all you will, and Stevenson's supporters will
search hard for alibis, the Minnesota vote is startling. The
Democratic leaders, who don't like Estes Kefauver are going
to have to take him seriously, for ho is the party's best vote
getter.. And Adlai Stevenson has slipped badly since 1952,
four years in which he has done nothing except complain
without much to complain about. The country has cit him
down to a small size and it may be as hard to blow him back
up as ,it was to put Humpty Dumpty together again.
It's as sure as anything ever is in politics that Adlai
Stevenson won't be the next president. If nominated he
won't be elected, and because this seems so sure his chances
for the nomination have been drastically reduced. Those who
don't want Kefauver nominated, and they are legion among
the leadership, must start looking for someone else to stop
him with. Governor Harriman's stock is bound to rise now.
And the South, Which had largely reconciled itself to Adlai,
is now faced with the prospect of a much more objectionable
nominee.
We'll see plenty of excitement in the Democratic party
now, with Republican excitement diminishing since the presi
dent will accept rcnomination and Nixon is pretty sure to
be his running mate.
IWt Mate, Sam!

his rule of terror in his lifetime as a heroic demigod.1 Nor is
there much doubt that Stalin met a merited fate himself, when
the new leaders discovered they were on the purge line them
selves and switched the purgo to the sick tyrant.
Khrushchev is reported to have charged that Stalin weak
ened the country before the onset of World War , II by having
5000 Red army officers "murdered" following the great purge
tirals. In spite of warnings by Winston Churchill and Sir
Stafford Cripps, then British ambassador to Moscow, Stalin
refused to believe that Hitler would attack Russia and his
first order to him when the Germans did attack his troops,
was not to return the Germans' fire.
Khrushchev is said to have accused Stalin of antisemitism, per
secution mania, and gross conceit. He said Stalin was behind the
11M4 murder nt Kirov, the Leningrad party leader, and others,
mid was planning In the immediate future to get rid of Vyachcslav
Mnlntov who had been under house arrest and Khrushchev him
seH. At this, some of the delegates arc reported (0 have shouted, "How
did you stand it? Why didn't you kill him?"
Khrushchev is said to have replied: "What could we do? There
was a rcissn of terror. You only had to look at him wrongly and
the next day you lost your head."
Lenin's unpublished will, said to have a postscript warning the
Communist party against Stalin, is likely to he released shortly.
Khrushchev is quoted as saying that after the war Stalin
became especially suspicious and in the latter portion of his
life an atmosphere of "fear and terror" prevailed. Even mem
bers of the Politburo lived in fear. The dictator was be
hind the "doctors' plot."

Republican politico-economic ex

"nest" for nonworkin g. years
through Social Security, industrial

programs or periodical savings. .
Their preservation demands eco

ment, profits for business and in

where. Prosperity Statistics
Wages approximate $2 an hour,
or more In major industries. With
federal recognition and protection
of the unions' collective bargain
ing contracts, more than 65,000,
000 men and women have maxi
mum assurance of work. Despite
depressed agricultural conditions,
government support of prices, as
sures a livable income for most
farmers. But the most consoling
thought is that Uncle Sam recog
nizes and assumes responsibility
for their state.
The 1955 "prosperity statistics,"
which are now under politico-economic
analysis, are phenomenal.
In that year, the American people
bought more necessities and lux
uries than ever before cars, tele
vision sets, air conditioners, furs,
clothes, pianos, jewelry. They built
more homes than in any year ex
cept 1950's peak. Their personal
income reached the record total of
5315 billion by December.
They paid federal, state and lo
cal taxes amounting to almost $90
billion. And yet, they saved more
than $16 billion for a rainy day,
which the Republicans say will
never dawn, if the voters keep
them in power.
