Ike, Stevenson
Drive Harder
This Campaign
By MARVIN ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 B
msident Eisenhower is scrapping
hard (or a second-term victory.
The. "new'V Adlal -Stevenson is
waging his own kind of a "give
'em hell" campaign, up and down
the land. "
The reWch ef the 1952 candi
dates resembles, in some respects,
the pattern of four years igo. But
there are some tangible contrasts.
It's true that Stevenson, the
Democratic -:ainee, opened up in
the later phases of the '52 cam
paign when Eisenhower was hit
ting harder too. But this year it's
a different Stevenson.
It is a difference based much
more deeply than his decision, aft
er his March defeat in the Min
nesota primary, to get out and
shake a lot more hands, slap some
backs, and be less of an intellec
tual "egghead" a term he laugh
ingly notes is still sometimes ap
plied t him in talking to cam
paign crowds.
The basic change In Stevenson
Is the conviction which prompted
him to go out aad fight for the
nomination this year his stated
belief that President Eisenhower's
Republican administration has not
been good for America and the
world. And there is Stevenson's
contentioi, also stated publicly
many times, that the President
himself has failed and should be
held personally responsible.
From the Republica.i camp, Ei
senhower has been accusing his
rival of talking "wicked nonsense"
of being "confused" and of mak
ing "theatrical" gestures to win
votes.
Stevenson, the Democratic nom
inre, has charged the President
with consistent rejection of the
positive responsibilities of leader
ship, with political Iroseness
and "gross misstatement."
Scrap Inevitable
A look at what has been hap
pening since the nominating con
ventions of the two major parties
met in August underscores why a
hammer-and-tongs scrap was in
evitable. '
The President, obviously stung
by Stevenson's point-blank criti
cism, made a dramatic switch in
tactics and started firing hack
hard early in the campaign Those
who know Eisenhower well had
predicted he would shift gears and
reply to his opponent.
Declined to Answer
Last month, belore the cam
paign was formally under way,
Eisenhower again declined to an
swer Stevenson attacks on his ad
ministration, including a conten
tion the Republican regime had
been marked by "a contagion of
corruption." The President said he
would leave the replies to others
in his party.
But he also has said many times
that he never runs from a fight
He soon knew he was deep in a
fight and he elected to stand and
do battle.
Saw Ike as Hets
And what of Stevenson? What
of the man who reluctantly ac
cepter the Democratic presiden
tial nomination in 1952 the man
who in that campaign regarded
GOP candidate Eisenhower as a
national hero pretty much im
mune from personal criticism
the man who four years ago had
to run, to a great extent, on the
record of the Truman administra
tion? Ifr- debatable how much of a fac
tor former President Truman's
labeling of Stevenson as a "de
featist" has been in development
of the ' new'' Stevenson. The nom
inee's aides will tell you that
Slevenson determined long before
the Truman attack that he would
conduct a hard-hitting campaign
this year.
But it seems natural that Tru
man's criticism at the Democratic
convention served to reinforce
such determination. There was
evidence of that last month when
in Kansas City, Mo., with Truman
on the platform, Stevenson cut
loose with one of his most aggres
sive attacks of the campaign.
It was there, with Truman
beaming approval, that Stevenson
accused Eisenhower of having
rejected leadership responsibili
ties. And he touched off a round
of applause and cheers in asking:
"Who in this businesman's ad
minis'ration keeps the store?"
Pleased Truman
Truman, now campaigning for
Stevenson, called it "an excellent
speech right down the alley."
The Eisenhower of this stage of
the campaign is quite a different
candidate from the one who
launched his re-election bid at
Gettysburg in mid-September with
a low key appeal for a new GOP
"crusade" without any direct
mention of the opposition.
But it wasn't long before the
President was saying it was a
"theatrical national gesture'' for
Stevensoe to have suggested the
military draft might be ended in
the foreseeable future under terms
consistent with national security.
And Eisenhower at the same time
swatted at the Stevenson proposal
that an effort be ma-'e to suspend
H-bomb tests.
Next the President assailed Ste
venson's farm proposals, and in
another week he was hammering
at the Democratic candidate from
all directions. It was then he fired
his "po'itical bunk" and "wicked
nonsense" charges, and alluded to
his rival as an "apparently con
fused" candidate.
Stevenson countered that Eisen
hower appeared to have adopted
what the Democratic nominee re
ferred to as Vice-President Nix
on's "pattern of political loose
ness." ,
Meanwhile, the President long
since has shelved 'his early cam
paign plans for only five or six
addresses, along with few stories
Into strategic areas. He revised
