...anyone say that this means he is not a candidate, and Tammany Hall Boss Carmine De Sapio, Harriman's secretary of state and political mastermind, gently but firmly weaves that word "active" back into the sentence...
Both Averell Harriman and Carmine De Sapio issued outraged denials, but the fact is that Oregon's Morgan understood their strategy even if he was wrong about the money. While waiting for the swept-up pieces, Averell Harriman will be standing by-but not idly. He has already made one foray into the Middle West, for a speech last month in Des Moines.
