This episode of the Longines Chronoscope with Frank Knight features James A. Farley, the former U.S. Postmaster General. Farley expects to see Governor Stevenson win the next election for the presidency. Governor Stevenson should be able to carry the entire south and with a couple big wins throughout the U.S., perhaps win the presidency. Farley sites the fact that governments do not usually change hands while people have jobs. People with steady jobs are less likely to be looking critically at the President. Also, the opposition, Gen. Eisenhower, has seemed to be slipping. Eisenhower has not spoken out or taken a stand on many of the issues, and the lack of stance seems to have really hurt him among his supporters. Farley expects to see a strong support from the labor unions, minorities, and farmers across the U.S. Democrats should be able to control the House of Representatives, Senate, and Presidency in this election.
