B. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, ORB. THURSDAY, JULY 14, I960 Kennedy Won With Effective Organization By WILLIAM THEIS Los Angeles - (UNI - Sen. John F. Kennedy didn't cap ture the Democratic presiden tial nomination with just mir rors and money. He did it with daring, per sonality, a lot of money - and the most effective political or . ionization since the heyday of James A. Farley. That added up to a power house effort. And if there is anything that commands po , litical respect - however re luctant - it's power. The Massachusetts senator had some rough party terrain to cross on the long road to Los Angeles. But, like the Army engineers, he had a "Bailey bridge" to carry him Into the camps of the political pros. His "bridge" from the Sen ate and Cape Cod to the op erating levels of the Demo cratic "pros" was bald-pated, cigar-smoking John M. Bailey, Democratic state chairman of Connecticut. Bailey not only knew the party professionals and where to find thera - he's one himself. Ribicoff - Man in Ranks Kennedy's man in the ranks of Democratic governors was Abraham A. Ribicoff, the suave governor from Connect icut. Together and apart, they worked the grass roots and the state capitals, the regional and national political sessions, for Jack Kennedy. ; Kennedy's brothers, Bobby and Ted, startled the old pros j with the drive they displayed i in the long series of presiden-1 tial primaries won by the j senator. I Bailey In particular has been criss-crossing the coun try in behalf of the 43-yeap old New Englander for many months. He is as well known among state leaders and po litical writers as Jim Farley was at his New Deal peak. If that sounds like an exag geration, the convention out come Is as good an answer as any. Sample of EffectiYnHS One sample of Bailey-Kennedy effectiveness: Who was it who met and rode from the airport into downtown Los Angeles with Pennsylvania's Gov. David L. Lawrence? John Bailey. "I'm here to meet an old friend," was Bailey's soft ex planation. And the point is, he was. Another Impressive thing was Kennedy's use of a new political "mix." He used the lick-em-in-the - open primary approach, the public image television pitch - and the smoke-filled room. I The mistake of the John son, Symington and Steven son supporters appears to have been in not recognizing the punch In the Kennedy effort sooner. The warning signs have been flying since 1956. They've been flapping in the opponents' faces since Kennedy won his first pri mary in March. The basic decision which made Kennedy the Democrat ic presidential nominee was the right and essential de cision to enter the presiden tial primaries. Kennedy swept those he entered and he missed few. Harry S. Truman sneered that such primaries were eyewash. HST probably thinks differently today. Truman and the old pros were licked on their own chosen battleground, a nation al political convention. Jackie Kennedy To Remain Home Hyannisport, Mass. (UPD - Jacqueline Kennedy said ear ly today her husband told her not to join him in his triumph in winning the Democratic presidential nomination be cause of her impending motherhood. The slim, 29-year-old wife of Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts told newsmen at her summer home here she had spoken to her husband by telephone in Los Angeles twice after his nomination. Mrs. Kennedy met with scores of newsmen waiting outside the Kennedy home here. She said the senator said it would be best for her to remain on Cape Cod rath er than go to the West Coast. Jackie, . w-o is expecting a second '. before the No vemb sections, said her dock, nad ruled out the trip and her husband agreed with him. "I'm o excited," the ser enely beautiful Mrs. Kenne dy said to newsmen several times. She had been watching the convention proceedings on television.
