Liberal running mate sought for Stevenson ticket
Supporters circle possible vice candidates for Adlai E. Stevenson as they discuss a liberal pick to balance a moderate ticket. Stevenson stays out of the talks while aides weigh names from Nye Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and others, aiming for a careful, prepared choice if he secures the nomination. The issue grows as labor voices warn moderation could stall social gains. President Eisenhower’s heart attack heightens focus on the vice presidency and the need for a measured, ready list.
