Stevenson Harriman Likely Pact Aims at 1956 Nomination
Adlai E Stevenson and New York Governor Averell Harriman appear to have an informal working agreement for the 1956 Democratic presidential race. Stevenson would lead early if viable, with Harriman backing him. if Stevenson falters, he could shift support to Harriman. Both loom as the two strongest blocs at the convention, with Stevenson's Illinois base and Harriman's New York influence shaping early balloting. The plan faces Southern resistance from Gov Allan Shivers who opposes Stevenson and favors any foe of the former Illinois governor.
