After Primary
In Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (IP) Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower swept
to second-place position to
day in a startling showing
in the Minnesota presiden
tial primary, although his
name was not even on the
ballot. He rolled to within
12,000 votes of favorite son
Harold E. Stassen in an un-
Srecedented wave of write
i. votes.
Sources close to Eisenhower in
Paris described his vote, coming on
the heels of his victory in the New
Hampshire primary, ns “amazing
and irgrpdible.” Washington ob
servers said he won a moral vic
tory and his friends hailed his show
ing as another clear call to a high
er duty.
Returns from 2318 of the state’s
3,769 precincts gave Btassen 106,073
and Eisenhower 94,753.
Stassen, a former Minnesota gov
ernor, apparently won the state’s
28 convention delegates on (he basis
of still-incomplete returns. But Els
enhower’s supporters, who had
hoped for only 50,000 write-ins, were
elated and Stassen supporters fear
ed it would prove a serious blow
to his campaign.

Elsenhower himself Jovially watch
