About this Item
Outstanding T.L.S. 4to. 1 page, personal stationary, Chicago, August 31, 1953, to political adviser and Pulitzer Prize recipient Leland Stowe, in part: ".I am baffled by the sudden change of attitude about McCarthy by many people I have talked to, but perhaps "baffled" is not the word exactly. At any rate, there seems to be a feeling he is slipping fast since his attack on the clergy, and for me to proceed too aggressively would be to reinvigorate him because of the Protestant political implications." *Stevenson's dilemma: McCarthy, a staunch Catholic, aligned himself with Joseph P. Kennedy, a powerful Democrat and another rabid anti-Communist. The relationship was so strong that McCarthy even dated Kennedy daughters Patricia and Eunice. In addition to this, Senator John F. Kennedy, who served with McCarthy did not support Kennedy's Republican opponent Henry Cabot Lodge. As all this was happening, McCarthy became godfather to Robert F. Kennedy's first child Kathleen and would later select Robert as a Council serving on this committee. After all, Joseph Kennedy had an agenda: he would support McCarthy as a national Catholic politician who in return might help pave the way for a younger Kennedy's Presidential candidacy. Fine condition. American politician and diplomat who served as Governor of Illinois from 1949-1953. In 1952 and 1956 he was selected as the Democratic Party's candidate for President.
