Anything can happen of course in a Democra- tic National Convention, but it looks as if Adlai Stevenson will be the next Presiden- tial nominee of the party of Jefferson and Truman. Adlai is the best candidate left over from ’52. The southern bulwark of the Democ- racy won’t like it but it won’t bolt. If it is a question of Adlai or Averell or Estes, com- parisons may be invidious but they make Mr. Stevenson look good.
