• Stevenson Catching On— • &O.P. Worried-" • IsItTooLate? • IkeHadTrem#doueLe«dr .Governor Adlai Stevenson is finally N catching on to the Kay states, and nearly every peU or survey shows him gaining on. General PwigW Jh hiaennower at present. Yetthe Gen eral has long enjoyed a tremendous lead, which was more than 60-80 to many states, and this is a consider able handicap. The fact is, however, that the Stevenson momentum is dis turbing the JKepublicana and encour aging to the Democrats, who were beginning to be discouraged ’the first of the month. Stevenson's campaign began perk ing up when he reached California, in the first. third of the * month. His stock has risen in Illinois, Michigan, ' California, and other key states, as t well as in many less important states. It has risen in Neat York City, and some claim to upstate New York, but this latter claim is hotly contested and is traditionally G.O.P. territory. The vital question facing Demo crats is whethen they can maintain the present swing, or trend, through November 4. If they can, Stevenson will probably be efected, since he is considered to have drawn even in the critical states of New York, Califor nia and Illinois—and a further gain would probably put him over. How ever, the history .of the campaign shows that one candidate rides a swell for a time and then the trend reverses. Stevenson’s first tide came imme diately after he was nominated and lasted some five weeks. By late An oust he w iii« wMwnmilinr wv* GeneralJ>wight 11 Eiaanhower was Still out front by • considerable vo» mioDed at the btdBoiBr of Ootobor and; ia near in fora* If it lasts through November 4, the Governor ia to.be hsrd.to stop. * ' On the othw hand, if the Republi can* regain the ottaaiw ini bitii* tive in tbecamPtogB before Novem ber aa they are pisnfling to do, the election might catch the Democratic effort in a loll. Certainly the Demo crat* have been going all-out in re cent weeks with President Triunan, Stevenson, .Vice President Barkley and Eates Kefauver beating the boshes. It :ia this attack which baa given them the momentum they now, have. Because the Democrats were so far behind^ this all-out attack was a must in early October. The Republicans have not yet been desperate. If they find themselves in such a period of anxiety,, it will be then that all the stops will have to be pulled, in an all-out drive fer victory. The last week of the campaign might tell the story in that case. The most comforting fact for Re publicans is the heavy margin- of popularity Ike built up before Steven son got into the race. Many people are still convinced that the Democrat can never catch and surpass this popularity by November 4, in spite of the frantic pace now being pursued by Democrats everywhere ? But there t comes up with surprising strength in several sectors. In Peimsyivnua where Bee most be ruled the favorite; Adlai has strong Philadephia and Pittsburgh, support—so much that some people give him a sporting chance to carry the state! And in the Midwest, in a state, like Iowa, and several others, Adlai has shown eye opening strength, whether he carries them or not, He has pulled even In California, when a few weeks bade it looked, aa if he had lost that state, and in Wash ington he seems to have turned the campaign into a horse race. In Ore gon, one of the state’s Republican Senators has endorsed him and he shows surprising strength there. It is getting very confusing to ~ those who try to take the nation’s pulse. Television and better coverage of the candidates enable people to make up their minds quicker, or to keep up with the latest trend in a cam paign that changes rapidly, and is brought into millions of homes every day or two via television.
