Stevenson Kefauver Rest After Long Democratic Primary Grind
Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver rested after a grueling Democratic presidential primary season that concluded with Stevenson winning California and expanding his delegate lead. The Associated Press tally shows Stevenson at 1,041,303 votes to Kefauver’s 626,000, with victory likely to shape the upcoming convention. Delegates from Alaska to California are being pledged, and party strategists weigh potential coalitions as the long campaign ends. Stevenson leads in pledged and uncommitted delegates, while Kefauver vows to continue the race and Harriman drives remaining delegate support as conventions approach.
