Like an early swallow ushering in a new season, the first Gallup poll of the 1956 presidential campaign last week fixed the starting positions as well as they will ever be fixed. After asking voters across the U.S. which ticket they would now like to see win, Pollster George Gallup announced these results...
...campaigning and came across a farmer pitching manure, would take off his coat, grab another pitchfork and start to work." This week, pitchfork in hand, Vice-Presidential Nominee Kefauver was all set to start work on the key part of his Democratic campaign job: winning votes for his ticket in the twelve-state Midwestern farm area with a soft pitch of faith, hope and parity...
...because of his ability-and Stevenson's comparative inability-to project a just-plain-folks personality that Kefauver, the professionally common man, is of uncommon value to the Democratic ticket. He stands high with labor (A.F.L.-C.I.O. Vice President Walter Reuther was one of his boosters for the vice-presidential nomination).

Professional Southern politicians dislike him intensely-but even they admit that Southern voters by the thousands are likely to fall hard for Kefauver's poor-mouthed Southern drawl...
...even a Democratic loss does not mean the end for Estes Kefauver, especially if he can show his strength by carrying some farm states against the formidable Republican team.

But he is relatively young, and there are other years and other elections. The chances are good that Iowa farmers, New Hampshire lumberjacks and California avocado...
...Dick Daley, Candidate Austin had obvious merits to outweigh the fact that outside of Chicago he is practically unknown ("Who is he?" asked a dismayed downstate delegate when the word first got to Springfield). Richard Bevan Austin. 55, is an Episcopalian and will add diversity to a ticket on which there are already four Catholics. He has few enemies in the party, and his personal life-as family man (three sons), Chicago attorney (since 1926), assistant state's attorney (16 years) and judge (since 1953)-has been impeccable...
