George Luckey, vice-chairman of California's Democratic State Central Committee and a state senator. A Pauley man, Luckey was a good contributor, stuck with Truman while Jimmy Roosevelt flirted with Eisenhower and Douglas. Since the election Luckey has been fit to bust out of his cowboy boots, told a Democratic meeting recently that the state needed "a strong man for governor" who can "walk into Washington, and to the White House, and demand things for his state without being embarrassed...
