Scope and Contents

Senator Kerr's growing strength is evident in the support he is receiving from various states, with 134 votes on the first ballot and 174 on the second. His appeal lies in his independence from political machines, his long-standing advocacy for Democratic principles in the Midwest, and his ability to unite the party. In Iowa, his support is based on his eloquence, knowledge of the Midwest, successful track record as a businessman and governor, commitment to his church and community, and potential to lead the national ticket to victory. The Iowa Kerr Committee, led by N. G. Kraschel, is confident that Kerr's leadership will ensure a Democratic victory in the state and bring about progress with his courage and experience.
