STEVENSON PLEASED
Chicago, Aug. 17.
The Democrats today nominated Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee to be Adlai E. Stevenson's running mate in the 1956 presidential campaign against the Republicans.
Kefauver won on the second ballot in the first open- convention selection of a vice-presidential candidate in the history of modern politics.
Kefauver's victory resulted from a tide of vote switches after the second roll call had ended with Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts in the lead but lacking a majority.
