There was confused and spectacular slmo. gle for the nomination, a struggle to set the dominant pharaptpr nf the party. On the left was the lib eral wing, the defenders of the New Deal-Fair Deal faith, lead by young Franklin Roosevelt, Jr. Av- cicu narnman, HUDert Humphrey and Estes Kefauver, with Sena'or Blair Moody as Chairman of The Hifl Committee backing them up. Blair Moody has only been a Democrat since ADril. 10,51 On the right was a Southern hlnc composed of two factions the un reconstructed Dixie-Cra's lorf hv Gov. James Byrnes of South Car olina, John Battle of Virginia and oenawjr narry Byrd, the progres sive faction was led by Richard Russell, John Sparkman and Rus sell Long of Louisiana! In between these two exiremes was a large middle-of-the-road group who were Interested primarily in finding a man who could beat Eisenhower. And In the final essence It was the coalition of this middle group with the progressive Southern bloc that helped nominate Adlai Stevenson and John Sparkman a ticket that should do much to heal the wounds of the bitter wrangling. Stevenson is definitely more conservative than Harry Tru man and so is Eisenhower. All those to whom we have talk ed seem to like the ticket are enthusiastic about the ticket. Sev eral prominent Democrats who had said that they would vote for a Republican if Truman, were nomin ated, now say they are all for Stev-' enson. Well, North Carolina can lay some claim to him his fore bearers came from North Carolina as did those of Vice-President Baik ley and Richard Russell who are all related. And the name of Sparsjman is a prominent one in eastern North Carolina, and in Pender County. Miss Elizabeth Sparkman who taught in Kenans ville for, many years was from Pender County. If any of our readers, can trace the relationship of Senator John Sparkman to our North Carolina Sparkmans, ws , would be delighted. And what of these men who will be the standard bearers of the Democrats in November, what qua lifications do they have for the of fice, what of their background, their education? Governor Adlai (and that Is pro nounced Ad-lay) Ewing Stevenson is a member of a family whose roots go to tBs pre-Revolutlonary days. He was chosen to lead the party after a brief but spectacular career as a reform Governor as were two other Democratic Presi dents, Grover Cleveland and Wood row Wilson. He has a reputation for Incor ruptibility so towering as to earn him the nickname of "Sir Galahad.' He is known as a moderate liberal. emphatic about clean government, and In favor of the Administration a present course in foreign affairs. He is impressive in the important campaign medium of television. He Is five feet ten, 52 years old, has blue eyes, a far-receding hairline and warm smile. He was born in Los Angeles, Feb. 5, 1900, where his father was an executive of the Hearst newspap ers. He was named for his grand father, who was Vice President of the United States during Cleve land's Administration. The family moved back to Bloomlngton, 111., where his mother's family owned a newspaper. His father became State Secretary of Illinois. He went , to Choate and to Princeton, and attended Harvard Law School for two years. He left to become an editor of the Daily Pantagraph, and then re turned to law school, graduating from Northwestern University in tEvanston. After passing the bar examination in 1926. he entered a leading law firm In Chicago. He married Ellen Borden, heiress to the milk company fortune and had three sons. Adlai. III. Borden and John Fell. He was summoned to Washington by President Roose velt to formulate the New Deal in wis. He was special counsel ts the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration. His experience in foreign affairs began in 1943 when he led a mission to Italy to plan occupation polices. He was an as sistant to Secretaries of State Ed ward Stettinius and James Byrnes. He was a representative to the San Francisco United Nations Con ference. 'When he returned to Chicago, his friends backed him as a 'clean up candidate, and he was nominat ed for Governor with Paul Douglas, then a Professor of Economics, be ing named for Senator. They were swept into office by the largest -plurality in the 'history of the state.
