PACE TEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SATimiMY, JULY 2, 10M Governor Stevenson Heir To Rich Tradition of Democatic Politics CHICAGO (A Adlal Ewins Btevenron II. the 1952 Democratic presidential nominee, hu been political candidate only once be fore but he is heir to rich tra dition of publio life. Four years ago, tn his first cam paign for elective office, Uie 63-year-old lawyer was elected gov ernor of Illinois by a record vole. He did It by stumping Uie state for months in a borrowed auto mobile, drawing on five genera tions of political savvy. ' One grandfather, Jesse Fell, was an advisor to Abraham Lincoln. Tne other, Adlal Stevenson, was vice president under Drover Cleve land. His father, Lewis Green Ste venson, was an Illinois secretary of slate. Stevenson carried on this tradi tion during his four years as gov ernor, Just ending. Nominated for that office again, he never got a chance to run, although that was what he said he wanted most to do. His record as governor, plus ear lier service abroad on missions for the federal government made him a magnetic target for the thunder bolt that struck. Nominated for President by the national convention, the balding. medium-built man told reporters what he has been saying for months: "I dldnt seek it. I dldnt want it. But he accepted "with, humility.' Why did so many Democrats work so hard to press the nomina tion on mm 7 . Because, they say, ha has what it takes, some call It political sex appeal to defeat the Republi can standard bearer, Oen, Dwlghl D. Elsenhower. When Stevenson talks, his voice is warm and resonant, tinged with an Ivy League accent. He can, make a sparkling speech, put across with an Incandescent smile.

He ap pealed for a restoration of order throughout his riot-torn country. Mossadegh did not explain bis reference to the oil dispute.
