Never no ALL-OUT lor whnt the

Truman won.
In New Hampshire, the political
expert, lncludluif tlie country news

the popularity content he would be
doing wonderfully well.
He trot ALL the Republican dele

On the Democratic aide, the dis

POLITICALLY EXPERIENCED
ONES conceded that Kefauver had
"made dome Irlenda" In hta leisure
ly. handshaking campaign In New
Hampshire, but thev added with a
iimutt anlff that THE DEMOCRAT

WOULD BE TURNED OUT TO
SMOTHER HIM IN THE POPU

Bui Kefauver look ALL the Dem

Bo much for the political pro
fessionals, I'd aav that the lea heed you
pav them the more Independent
your thinking will be and the more
accurate It 1 likely to be.
If you have a FEELINQ IN
YOUR BONES, truat It In prefer

this country la more Independent
political thinking, with lens atten

political professional.
Whatever your Impulse In thl

That's what the people of New

The people of theTJnlted Stnle

Dr. Starker Leopold, waterfowl

hunters who flout the game laws
south of the border are the most
disruptive factor In waterfowl man
agement in Mexico.
But he emphasized the kill in
Mexico actually has little effect on
the North American waterfowl pic
ture. This Is because the total Mex

or not much more than Is killed
legally on the opening day of duck

Valley.

"It demonstarted that where a

He took 50 per cent of the total,

In pre-election forecasts, Taft

close between him and Eisenhower.
He called it "a horse race." As to
delegates, the senator said he
would be satisfied if four of bis

Kefauver modestly said only that
he thought he had 'made some

the state party organization to

"Vanishing American" No
Longer Going Downhill
Please, let's not refer to the Indian as the "vanishing
American" or member of a "dying race" anymore.
It so happens that the Indian at least the Klamath Indian
is doing as well or maybe better than the white man at keeping
the population growing. .
A count of the Klamath tribe shows that the Klamaths have
Increased in numbers over 70 per cent In the past half century.
In 1900 the tribal roll numbered Just 1,117 Indians, and at the
1951 year's end the total was 1,910.
The low point In population of the Klamath Indian tribe came
in 1908. when there were Just 1,038 of them. In 1909 the number
reached 1,100 again and the Increase since that time has been
fairly steady and not at all gradual. The total went over 1.201) In
1919 and then dropped back for a few years, until 1923 when It
reached 1,200 again. Each year since that date the tribal census
shows a population greater than In the previous year.
Just a few years ago, In 1946, the population of the tribe was
1,570; in 1947 It was 1,646; In 1948 It was 1,700; the next year
1,734; next year 1,819 and last year (1951) It waa 1,910. Primarily
responsible for the big Jump In 1951 was the adoption Into the
tribe of a number of Indian children born in years past, but not
immediately 'taken Into the tribe. . ......

Heavy rains, with snow at many
points, apparently had little, If any,,
effect on the turnout. ; ,
In Frankfurt. Germany. Elsen
hower said, when told the returns
'Any American who is honored by
so many other Americans consid
ering mm lit lor the Presidency
should be proud, or, by golly, he is
no American."
Kefauver said, 'I am entirely .
elated over the results. I don't
think this is a protest vote against
President Truman, because in gen
eral I agree with Mr. Truman."
The senator added that he Intends
to enter as many primaries as pos
sible. In Key West, Fla, where he Is
vacationing, Truman declined to
discuss, with newsmen the outcome
of the New Hampshire voting.
Close associates, who could not
be Identified by name, said the re-
suit would not affect his decision
on whether to seek re-election.
Sen. Taft was in Texas and made
no comment on the primary, t
Taft's campaign leaders conced- '
ed defeat shortly after 3 a.m.
F. E. Johnston, secretary of the
state's Bob Taft Club, declared ',
"New Hampshire Republican vot-
ers have expressed their desires in
the preferential primary . . . wa '
wish to congratulate Gen. Elsen-1
hower on his victory." ,
Johnston added, "as Republicans,
we shall suDport the nominee se- 1
lected at the Republican conven-'
tion."
Truman's political leaders In the .
state could not be reached for a
statement and up to a late hour
they had issued none.
STASSEN VOTE . .. . -v; '
In the Republican! primary; Har-'
nld.fiStnesen,- ex-govemor of Mm-.
nesota, had approximately 5,000
votes out of the nearly complete
ballot count. .
Stassen was entered only in the
preferential ballot; he had no dele
gates in the race.
Gen. MacArthur was given ap
proximately 2,700 Republican write
in votes. i
None of the persons who ran as
delegates favorable to him was
elected. MacArthur had requested
his admirers not to enter his name
in the "popularity" primary.
some observers considered It sig
nificant that Paul Hoffman, former
administration of ECA was the first
to Issue a victory statement for
Eisenhower.
It came at a time when the gen
eral was trailing Taft by a few
hundred votes.
There have been recurring re
ports that Hoffman might be asked
to take command of the national
Eisenhower organization.
Sen. Lodge of Massachusets, Is
now national chairman.
Lodge, however, angered some of
the New Hampshire lieutenants in
the Eisenhower camp during the
campaign.
NO QUOTES
They did not permit themselves
to be quoted, but privately they
sharply criticized Lodge's state
ment to a news conference that the
preferential ballot In the election
"would prove nothing." The sen.
ator said that the only test of vic
tory would be the election of dele
gates. Kefauver was out In front of
Truman practically from the first.
Even among neutral observers,
Kefauver was a complete underdog
before the election.
He had conducted a leisurely, al
most languid campaign, shaking
hands and simply sitting around,
talking with farmers and especially
workmen.
But the politically experienced,
while conceding that he had made
"quite a few friends," said the
Democratic machine in the state
would be turned out to smother
him in the popular vote.
Emmett J. Kelley, Democratic na
tional committman, had said Ke
fauver would never make a dent In
New Hampshire.
