From a Pre-Election Notebook

(Mr. Burnham has been driving slowly from New England to Minnesota to make observations bearing on the issues and outcome of the election.)

Kent, Conn. In this tough old village only two votes are reported to have changed from 1952, with one other doubtful. The headmaster of the well-known boarding school, here located, who voted for Eisenhower four years ago will this time join 90 per cent of his teachers in support of Stevenson. A lady of wealth and family known locally as an intellectual from her conversation and the reviews she wrote in younger days for the New Republic, will make the same switch. A writer who managed Eisenhower last time is the doubtful citizen.
