„ Make Conflicting
Victory Forecasts
CONCORD, N. H. (IP Supporters of Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft made conflicting
forecasts of victory today as New Hampshire voters pre
pared for tomorrow’s curtain-raising presidential primary.
The stinging “gross roots’* cam-
R paign, which left little room for
compromise among opposing Re
publican factions, is expected to at
tract more than one-third of the
state's 300000 eiigiblle voters.
While the Elsenbower-Talt con
test holds the national spotlight.
President Trmnan’s popularity in
the rank am’ file gets its first ma
jor teat since the 1948 elections.
KEFAITVF.R CONCEDES
f Sen. Bates Jtefiativer. the Pr»si
• dent’s opponent in the Granite State
primary, all but concedes victory.
Kefauver said with another week
of “cracker barrel” campaigning,
he could beat Mr. Truman. But,
with time having run fliit. he will
be satisfied "with a good showing ”
The first-in-the-nation New
Hampshire primary offers a double
barrel test for the presidential hope
fuls. The voters not only select del
egates to the nat'nnal nominating
_ conventions, but nick the man they
• want to see in the White House.
Taft, who conducted the kind of
a hard-hitting campaign he believes
win return Republicans to power
Ip Washington, is banking on results
of the -legalised “straw” poll to
prove his vote-setting ability.
