1 o o o Democrats Faced With Possibility of Convention Bolt by Southern Segment By LYLE C. WILSON Uniied Press Correspondent G Washington (U.R) Minne sota presidential primary re turns confronted the Democratic party today with the stark possibility of a conservative bolt from this years national convention or from the party ticket. In M i n n e sota Sen. Estes Lyie c Wilson Keiauver knocked Adlai E. Stevenson down and probably out. Ke fauver and Gov. Averill Harri man of New York look like the front runners today and the South does not want either of them. The search may be on by sun down for compromise candi dates who could be nominated without deadly convention strife and men acceptable to Southern conservatives as well as to North ern New and Fair Dealers. The Tennessee senator picked up eight delegates last week in a clean New Hampshire sweep. They meet again in Florida's May 29 preferential primary and on June 5 in California where the choice is for delegates only without opportunity to express a preference between individual presidential candidates. Stevenson is entered unop posed in Illinois, April 10, and Pennsylvania, April 24. Ke fauver is unopposed in Wiscon sin, April 13. New Jersey April 17, Alaska. April' 24 and Mary land May 7. Repeat Performance - The New Hampshire's eight. Kefauver now adds at least 21 of Minnesota's 30 delegate votes In next August's Democratic Na tional convention. "The senator is repeating his primary tri umphs of 1952 when he bowled over most opposition and came to the partg convention with a commanding lead. Kefauver led on the first two ballots in 1952. His try was scut tled on the third ballot largely by the combined efforts of form er President Truman and the big city organizations who put Stevenson over. "Nobody wanted him except the people," Kefauver maaagers complained after the convention returns were in. But the South did not want Kefauver then nor now, although he is from a South ern state. The South likes Ke fauver less now than it did four years ago. Kefauver did not sign the dec laration protesting; against in tegration in the public schools which was solemnly read this month in Congress over the sig natures of almost all of his Southern colleagues. Stevenson had denounced the declaration. But the feeling among some Southern political leaders was that Stevenson's so-called grad ualism in attempting Southern school integration would make him acceptable in that area as a presidential nominee. Blood of a Champion Stevenson heard the returns today and said he would remain in the race. But Stevenson is dead politically unless he has the blood of a champion and can get up slugging from the floor. Gov. Averill Harriman of New York was the third of the front runners in the contest for this year's Democratic presidential nomination. His hopes depend wholly on Kefauver and Steven son knocking each other out. With Stevenson down. Harri man's prospects have brightened in some respects. But it is not likely that the South would ac cept Harriman without the -kind of convention ruckus which could lead to a conservative bolt from the Democratic National Convention or from the party ticket. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, Texas, majority leader of the Senate, and Sen. Stuart Syming ton (D-Mo.), have figured in com promise speculation. Minnesota Primary Background By UNITED PRESS Background on the Minnesota primary: Once again, the Minnesota primary has produced one of the nation's big election year stories. In 1952, Minnesota Republi can voters were credited with a large part in Dwight D. Eis enhower's decision to run for president. Now, Democrats in the Go pher State have given a big push to the candidacy of Sen. Estes Kefauver for the Demo cratic presidential nomination in 1956. Mr. Eisenhower's name wasn't even on the ballot in 1952, but he got 108,692 wirte-in votes in Minnesota's Republican pri mary. This compared with 129, 076 for Harold E. Stassen whose name was on the ballot. First Battleground This year the Minnesota Dem ocratic primary provided the first battleground between Ke fauver and Adlai E. Stevenson, the two avowed candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Kefauver beat a Stevenson slate in New Hampshire a week ago, but Stevenson didn't cam paign there. Both Stevenson and the Tennessee senator tour ed Minnesota extensively. At stake were 30 votes at the Democratic National Con vention in Chicago next sum mer. One vote went to the win ner in each of Minnesota's nine congressional districts. The other 21 went to the candidate with the higher state-wide total. Stevenson Favorite Stevenson was regarded as the favorite, for he had the ac tive support of the powerful Democratic-Farmer-Labor party and almost all top Democratic officeholders in the state. Ke fauver pictured himself as the underdog fighting tough obstacles, but recalled he had beaten a "machine" in past Ten nessee elections. On the Republican ballot Tuesday, voters had a choice between Mr. Eisenhower and his chief lieutenant in the Sen ate, California Sen. William F. Knowland. Knowland's name was entered before the Presi- a second term, however, and votes.

March 21. 195B Of Necessily To Select Kefauver Los Angeles (U.R) Estes Kefauver's national campaign manager warned Democratic leaders today they "would be committing political suicide" if they do not nominate the Ten nessee senator to run for Presi dent. F. Joseph (Jiggs) Donohue, na tional campaign chairman of the Kefauver for President Commit tee, termed the senator's upset victory over Adlai E. Stevenson in the Minnesota primary "a history making" election. Sees Victory Over Ike "Democratic party leaders would be committing political suicide if they don't pick the first team to run against President Eisenhower" Donohue said. "The senator is the only Democrat who can beat the President. And I have no doubt that he will beat him." Donohue said Kefauver's vic tory in the Minnesota primary was the bigest primary battle that the Tennessee Democrat had to hurdle. "There was a complete state organization opposed to him in Minnesota," Donohue said. "But he won there as he will win in California in June." Donohue said the New Hamp shire and Minnesota primaries "clearly show" that wherever Kefauver and Stevenson meet that the senator attracts "grass roots support" necessary to win a presidential race.
