A letter recalls the 1940 Democratic Convention in Chicago where Averill Harriman and Adlai Stevenson sought the ticket. North Carolina backed Stevenson, then Hodges proposed a Kefauver bid. Tennessee shifted 32 votes to Kefauver, steering the ticket to Stevenson-Kefauver. The writer notes today the investing power of a president choosing a running mate.
