Description
Adlai Stevenson II locks and bars the door before fleeing for South America for fear of being "drafted" as the 1960 Democratic candidate for president. When he returned from South America in April, he criticized the Eisenhower administration for failing to concentrate efforts there. Stevenson had earlier decided not to actively run for the presidential nomination. Instead, he claimed he would run only if drafted. After a tiff with emerging candidate John F. Kennedy, Stevenson geared up for a run at the National Convention in Chicago.
