Illinois primary shows Stevenson's home state ballast but not decisive
The Illinois presidential primary reinforced Adlai Stevenson’s home state leverage with about 700,000 votes, closely mirroring his 1952 Illinois governor tally. Eisenhower led statewide by roughly 40,000, driven by downstate gains. Kefauver’s write-in fell short, and turnout resembled a light election, limiting broad momentum shifts. Trading up in department stores signals higher spending per sale despite stable unit counts, while wartime tax rises persist as Congress maintains them for another year.
