Stevenson's hopes for early victory in the Democratic presidential sweepstakes ran into some roadblocks today in the form of new favorite son booms and holdout delegations. T.ie former Illinois governor was still front runner in known delegate preferences and was still the best bet for ultimate victory in the second day of the 1956 Democratic Nation'31 Convention. But his drive for the added 100-plus delegates he needs ran into a growing determination by some southern states to hold back final commitments until they see whether the convention adopts a civil rights-integration plank they will accept. The Arkansas delegation voted formally to do just that. Tennessee, meanwhile, voted to give its 32 votes to Governor Frank G.

Clement, the young spellbinder who wowed the convention with a fiery keynote speech last night. Georgia was reported considering a favorite son nomination. All this was in line with southern strategy to hang on to vote3 until the civil rights chips are down. The convention is scheduled to adopt a platform Wednesday night. There could be a fight by northern liberals to beef up the civil rights plank if the platform committee comes up with one they consider too mild.

Such a fight could hurt Stevenson in Thursday night's balloting. But as of today he had survived the first assaults of the stop-Stevenson forces and had a better than two to one margin in sure delegate strength over Governor Averell Harriman, of New York. Despite former President Truman's endorsement of Harriman, Stevenson was slowly picking up power outside the holdout states.
