X.A15 Sept.526 - page four rendered safe by a sudden split between the Democrats and the Libe ral Party, a local group in New York City, which still is able to gather roughiiy 500.000 votes and has cast these always for the Democrats. What happened was that the liberals wanted Mre Harrimen as candidate for Senator, The Democrats on the other hand wanted the Boroygh President of Brooklyn, Mr. Cashmoree Seeing that Cashmore had the full support of the organization, Harriman withdrew, and Cashmore was nominated, The liberals refused to accept this choice, and are putting up a man of their own, one Dr. Counts, who has not the slight st chance, but will cost Cashmore decisive votes. Cashmore being furthermore a man practically unknown outside of his own limited urban area, would have had an uphill fight anyhow, despite his fine past records But with the split, his outlook is d m indeed, Another grave local issue, with regards to Stevenson, is the situation developing in Nevada, There since times immemorial, the Democratic machinery is in the hands of conservative Democrat Pat MacCarran, U.S,Senator. This time, a young extreme radical, caught the machine napping, and gained by a few hundred votes the Senatorial nomination from the official candidate, Lt. Governor Bible. This young radical, one Mechling, a Denver=borne newspaper man, will now stand against Republican incumbent Malone, There is a feeling in Nevada, that in order to get rid of Mechling, the McCarren machine migh favour Malone - a matter which can be more easily expected, sinee it was proven in the present Wisconsin priflaries, that numerous Democrats went over into the Republican ranks in order to get a chance to vote for McCarthy. Something similar can happen in Nevada and might push rhat traditionally Democratic state into the Republican column. Similarly, the situation in Ohio seems to go Republican. Incumbent Senator Bricker seems to be having a wide edge over Demoerat Mike Di Salle, and though Bricker is a strong Taft man, his victory might still carry Eisenhower as welle In Connecticut too the local situation is developing in a most interesting sensee The Senatorial by-election to replace the late Brian McMahon is developing into an interesting fight. The Eisenhower group, through Hoffman, injected itself into the homtnation by boosting Mrs? Clare Booth luce, former Congresswoman. This was enough to swing the whole Republican machine against her and to nominate Banker bush for the Senatee This rebuff ought to make Eisenhower think, On the other hand observers agree, that Bush! vactory over the erratic lady from Sugar Hill will greatly increase the Republican chances, and might in the end be the rea~ son, why Connecticut, contrary to most expectations, might go for Eisenhower,
