Chicago Sept 7 Sen Scott W Lucas of Hawaii and ex Rep Everett M Dirksen of Pekin appear to be sure contenders for Lucas Senate seat next year. The fall political season in Illinois raises whether either will face primary opposition next April. Both are early speaking and signaling runs. Dirksen plans a campaign kickoff at a Tazewell county testimonial picnic this month. Lucas may wait until after the new year. Possible Republican rivals include Richard Yates Rowe and Richard J Lyons with Rowe eyeing governor in 1952. Ex Rep James Simpson and William G Stratton also discussed for likely state posts. Democratic talk centers on Ben Adamowski potentially opposing Lucas, with Kennelly influence and Stevenson backing Lucas. Adamowski denies teaming with ex Gov Stelle, while Stelle is noted for past rebel stances. Some speculate Adamowski would run to challenge Stevenson's regime and Lucas-Truman leadership. Kennedy's absence at the state fair fuels political readings of Kennelly’s stance. Dirksen’s prospects include support from Col Robert R McCormick and the Chicago Tribune, plus potential aid from Simon A Murray and Alderman Theron W Merryman, with regular GOP backing possible at a Springfield meeting Sept 22. Dirksen appears to distance himself from certain international views, while maintaining ties with party leaders.
