Harriman Favored by Dems in Pre-Winter Forecast
In the pre Winter book on next year’s Democratic presidential contenders, Gov Averell Harriman of New York is touted as a favorite. Albany reports Harriman, backed by Tammany Hall and Desapio as secretary of state, could rise with strong party machinery. Stevenson remains a contender but not as strong. Harriman’s wealth, connections, and national profile give him a solid edge, though Truman’s 1954 view raised questions. A separate note from Chilshire, Conn reports a 20,000-fire at Grange Hall caused by a penny in a fuse box.
