Paralleling Helen's legitimate claim of kinship with Adlai, Kentucky's back-pounding Governor Albert B. ("Happy") Chandler, darkest Democratic horse now visible at all, also clomped into the consanguinity act with a hoarse declaration of Stevensonian blood in his wife's veins.* Happy's claim was as undocumented as it was tenuous-but it gave Adlai Stevenson, if elected, a perfect out to bar Happy from...
