Political Career Os Stevenson Is Brief Elected Illinois Governor In 1948 CHICAGO <UP) — Adlai E. Stevenson, a draftee for party honors in past years, fought long and hard to win the 1956 Democratic presidential nomination. It was a new turn in the brief political career of the 56-year-old former Illinois governor. Formerly. hia party, posts came to him on a silver platter. Stevenson got into politics only eight years ago. Democrats were hard put for a candidate to oppose Republican Gov. Dwight H. Green. Someone suggested Stevenson. a little-known lawyer and diplomat. Stevenson accepted the bid. and won nomination without opposition. Then he surprised everyone by waging a vigorous campaign that won him election by a record margin of 572,000 votes. Four years later. Stevenson’s name came up again when national party chiefs sought a candb date for president to succeed Harry S. Truman. Stevenson was reluctant. He had been renominated to a second term as governor, without opposition. and he said he wanted noth-r ing else. He went so far as to say “I would shoot myself” U drafted. But draft him the Democratic convention did, and he accepted. He was beaten in the November, 1952. election by Dwight D. Eisenhower, 33,936,252 to 27,314.992. Stevenson carried only nine states. Stevenson changed tactics after his defeat. He established himself as titular head of his party, made a round of speeches to melt the party's 1952 deficit, and toured some of the world’s trouble spots. Then last Nov. 15 Stevenson came out flatly with the announcement he would “do all I can” to win the 1956 presidential nomination again. • Favored from the start, Stevenson suffered a stunning loss in the Minnesota Democratic primary to Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), the only other candidate who fought him in the primaries. But the defeat spurred Stevenson on to greater efforts. He climaxed the primary campaign with a victory over Kefauver in Florida and a decisive win in the important California primary.This California licking contrily uted to’ Kefauver’s decision to drop out of the picture even before the convention began, leaving only New York Gov. Averell Harriman in Stevenson’s way. The rest is history. Though Stevenson still ranks as a newcomer to politics, his family is steeped in political tradition. He once remarked he had “a bad case of hereditary politics." A great-grandfather was an advisor to Abraham Lincoln. A grandfather was vice president under Grover Cleveland, and his father was an Illinois secretary of state. Stevenson held a number of ap-

The weather bureau in its 6 a.m. (EDT), advisory said the oncepowerful hurricane was picking up speed but steadily losing force. The weather bureau at Miami said another disturbance reported over Puerto Rico Thursday showed no sign of becoming a tropical tempest and air reconnaissance has been called off. The bureau said Betsy packed winds clocked at 85 miles an hour near its center —a de irerise of 20 miles an hour since early this morning. < The Washington weather bureau placed the center of the storm at 6 a.m., EDT, about 320 miles east of Norfolk. Va., traveling a north-northeast"’iy course. The bureau said Hetay was sweeping more and n.ore toward the northaa.it at 23 mites an hour. The hurricane was expected to continue its present course at the same or slightly greater speeds for the next 12 hours. Then it is expected to speed up. Weathermen said if Betsy con tinues in its present direction it is not expected to threaten the N'iW Engl-.id state’ with either high winds or heavy rains. ' » STEVENSON ON FIRST from i*age One) to the convention Thursday night, shortly after he had won first place on the ticket by polling 905 out of the 1,372 votes on the first ballot. His nearest rival. Gov. Avprell Harriman of New York, drew only 210 votes. , The smiling nominee strode to the rostrum Os the stockyards convention hall and informed the thunderstruck delegates that he had decided to forego his traditional right to handpick a runningmate, and would leave the decision to the "free processes" of an open convention. it was a bold move, designed 'to focus public attention on President Eisenhower’s, health and the expected Republican renomination of Vice President Richard M. Nixon — the main Democratic issues in the coming campaign. Stevenson made that clear by presidential candidate has become saying that the choice of a vice “almost as important as the choice for the presidency.” He recalled the seven times in U. S. history when a vice president has succeeded to the' White House and said “each political party has the Solemn obligation” to nominate a vice president who is "fully equipped” to be president.
