Eisenhower Nomination
As Victory of People
B7 UNITED PRESS
Editorial comment on the Re
publican National convention in
Chicago and the nomination of
Dwight D. Eisenhower as its
presidential candidate:
Th New York Times This
victory at Chicago is clearly a
people's victory. General Eisen
-hower is the candidate whom
the people chose by their own
free acclaim. H i s nomination
was the product of a great popu
lar expression of confidence.
. JUw York Herald Tribune
Eisenhower won. The people
won. Rarely has so great an
opportunity opened before Re
publicans. General Eisenhower
comes to the leadershio of the
cause with gifts and experience
recognized by the whole coun
try indeed by the whole free
world.
, New York Daily Nwi This
newspaper was extremely sorry
that Sen. Robert A. Taft lost the
nomination. As we see it, the
GOP has a toUgh fight on its
. hands to win the November elec
tion. It is Eisenhower's and his
lieutenant's job to sell him to

enough voters to elect him. We
hope nothing will induce them
to underestimate that job. Over-
confidence could slaughter Ike
as it did Dewey in 1948.
Atlanta Constitution Eisen
hower's nomination assures the
nation the U. S. will not with
draw into the shell advocated
by . the Taft, Hoover and Mac-
Arthur forces.
St. Louis Poil-Diipalch The
Taft headquarters let ambition
carry it so far as to assure its
own defeat. Gen. Eisenhower
was the beneficiary of this griev
ous error in the tactics of the
opposition. Of the five names
placed in nomination, tht of
Dwight David Eisenhower was
easily the rank-and-file Repub
lican favorite. Now the country
will look him over in a new
light to see what kind of
nominee he will make when he
is tested on the issues against
his as yet unnamed Demoratie
opponent.
St. Louis Globe-Demociat
The Republican party has chos
en the best man possible for Its
presidential nominee, It has
pointed out that misfeasances
and worse of the Truman admin'
istration, and is pledged to re
turn government to the people.
to make America live again in
its splendid tradition. It is in
fortuitous position to win next
November.
Indianapolis Star No Repub
lican the party could nominate
can fully satisfy all the qualities
that every member would like
in his presidential nominee
What is essential is that the
leader of the party be in agree
ment with the basic tenets of
ReDublicanism. Gen. Eisenhow
er has clearly demonstrated that
his Republicanism is deeply
rooted.
Washington Post The first
ballot nomination of General
Eisenhower as the Republican
candidate for president brings a
resurgence of faith in our politi
cal system.
Washington Times-Herald
Gen. Eisenhower is the most ex
traordinary candidate who has
ever received a Republican nom
ination. He is Mr. Truman's can
didate. Gen. Eisenhower is also
Gov. Dewey's candidate and
therefore the candidate of the
most unpopular figure in the
Republican party today. The
general is Wall Street s candi
date and Wall Street, though it
commands vast sums of money,
arouses no enthusiasm for its
candidates.
Chicago Sun-Times The Sun-
Times believes that Dwight D
Eisenhower should be the next
president of the United . States,
Eisenhower of all Americans
can best bring unity to this coun
try and to the free world. .

people are generally disgusted
with the Truman administration
and because it will be difficult

Abilene Thrilled by
GOP Nomination of
Town's Favorite Son
Abilene,' Kan. (U.R) Last
October 2,000 persons signed a
petition asking that a hometown
boy, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, be their candidate for pres
ident. ,
They have been working en
ergetically ever since to bolster
boomlet, which became an
avalanche at the Republican Na
tional convention Friday.
Printed First Petition
Henry B. Jameson, an Abil
ene newspaperman who as a
war correspondent had known
Eisenhower in Europe, printed
that first petition.
In two days, on Oct. 15-16,
1951, 2,000 of the 6,000 persons
in Abilene signed. A week later
the list grew to 10,000 names of
persons in Dickinson county.
The plea was mailed to Eis
enhower in Paris, where he was
commanding - United Nations
forces in Europe.
Jameson's ' petition said:
Best Qualified
"We believe you are the best
qualified man for the job of
President of the United States,
and we petition and urge of you
to make yourself a Republican
candidate for President."
Democrats and Republicans
alike then wrote, wired and tele
phoned Jameson from all over
America, he said. A woman in
didate who will command the
support of both the Northern
and Southern factions of their
party, the chances of a Republi
can victory in November can be
regarded as fairly birght.

California sent a dollar bill and
asked how an Ike club in her
home town might be organized.
Three weeks later, as Jame
son said today, the boom had
grown too big for little Abilene
and Eisenhower - for - Presi
dent headquarters moved to To
peka.. Slogan Started
A novelty dealer in Brooklyn
sent six sample campaign but
tons. One had a picture of Eis
enhower and the words, "We
want Ike."
"I like Ike' was substituted
as a slogan and the Brooklyn
dealer's first 2,000 buttons were
pinned on lapels and blouses
in Topeka an hour after they
arrived. .
Amateurs called in experienc
ed politicians for advice. . Sen.
Henry Cabot Lodge of . Massa
chusetts became campaign chair
man. .
A dozen. Eisenhower clubs
sprang up in Kansas the first
week. Twice that many were
organized in Maryland, Michi
gan, California and other states.
In New York, a Citizens for
Eisenhower committee helped
carry the ball when the Topeka
Abilene team asked for relief.
Henry Jameson and Abil
ene were not surprised at the
outcome Friday at Chicago. A
roaring, impromptu celebration
splashed into the main streets
of Abilene the minute Eisenhow
er won the nomination.
