ial hopefuls step p e d up
their drive in the New Hamo
shire political campaign to
day, assuring an unusually
heavy vote m the nation’s
first primary election.
As the campaign entered the
home stretch, political leaders show
ed as much interest in winning
the state's legalized “straw poll" as
in capturing dilegates to the nom
inating conventions.
Candidates must win both a ma
jority of the delegates and the pop

'Victory next Tuesday.

Some political observers predicted
a stand-off between Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A.
Taft, principals in the Republican
race, as a result of the complica
ted ballot.
They said Eisenhower could win
a majority of the delegate* and lose
the preferential contest. The same
could apply to Taft.
Sen. Estes Kefauver. challenging
President Truman’s strength, and
Republican Harold E. Stassen were
the only candidates actually cam
paigning. Taft, however, is sched
uled to begin an Intensive three
day tour tomorrow. None lacked
political ballyhoo.
Kefauver based his hones on s
street earner, hand-shaking cam
paign. He told the voters he was a
“loyal Democrat, not opposing any
particular candidate, but offering a
platform to further world peace and
promote economic and social pro
