Kefauver Campaign Manager Claims Backers Plot Against Him
Gael Sullivan, Kefauver's campaign manager, said backers of other Democratic candidates are ganging up to stop Kefauver from winning the nomination. He cited “reports” but did not name participants, noting the statement stands on its own. Sullivan said Truman and Frank McKinney are not among those suspected. Early to Chicago, Democrats prepare for a multi candidate convention with high rumor activity and no early ballots likely. Kefauver remains positioned as the front runner with no clear sign of presidential interest from Truman.
