~ Warren Shows 2, Badger Strength i
By CHARLES LUCEY Seripps-Roward Staff Writer
Sen. Robert A. Taft today was back on the glory road toward the Republican presi-
dential nomination and the bid of Tennessee's Estes Kefauver to be Democratic standard-bearer looked stouter by the minute. “Mr. Republican” won impressively in Wisconsin's key presidential primary and was shading Dwight Eisenhower rousing write-in election in Ne-
braska.
The same test that restored the Ohioan to political grace after spectacular Eisenhower showings in New Hampshire and Minnesota gave Sen. Kefauver a sweeping, almost unopposed victory in Wisconsin and a lesser but solid triumph over Sen. Robert 8. Kerr of Oklahoma in Nebraska.
‘Latest Wisconsin returns: Republican (3196 out of 3204
precincts):
. Mr. Taft, 315,140. Mr, Warren, 261,870. Mr, Stassen, 166,449. Democrats (3125 out of 3204
precincts:
Mr. Kefauver, 199,512, Jerome Fox, 17,974. Charles Broughton, 15,629. Mr. Fox and Mr. Broughton were pledged to President Tru-
man.
Latest Nebraska returns: Republicans (1341 of 2058 pre-
cincts) :
Mr. Stassen, 30,437. Gen. Eisenhower (write-in),
34,889),
Mr, Taft (write-in), 42,550. Democrats (1197 of 2058 pre-
cincts) :,
Mr. Kefauver, 37,129. Mr. Kerr, 24,955.
