THE ISSUE IN 1956
If we make two assumptions,
it is possible, so it seems to me,
.to see what will be the crucial
question in the
21

IT " J presid e n t i a 1
l-sf a first assumn-
tion is that
there will be
no change for
the worse in
the level of em
ployment and
prices. The sec
ond is that the
United States
will not become involved in a
war, even a small one.
If these two assumptions hold,
the crucial question will be
which candidate is the more
likely to occupy the ground on
which Eisenhower has stood
since the mid-term election of
1954.
WHAT is that ground? It is the
ground in the middle the
area, if one likes to put it that
way, of me-tooism where on
the basic questions of war and
peace, economic stability, wel
fare measures, human rights and
government under the law, the
two parties differ in degree and
detail rather than in substance
and on the fundamentals.
During his first two years,
Eisenhower was in serious trou
ble and far from being a happy
and successful President. There
were indeed ominous similarities
with the administration of Gen.
Grant. One of the most signifi
cant political facts of these times
is that Eisenhower's enormous
success and popularity as Presi
dent began after the extremist
factions of his party were de
feated in the mid-term elections
of 1954. Only since then has
Eisenhower been able to occupy
that middle ground on which he
is now standing.
...
THE situation could be changed
by a war or a depression.
But given prosperity and no war,
the winning ground is this mid
dle ground. The battle inside
both parties and between the
parties is for the possession of
that ground. The question for
the Republicans is whether they
can have Eisenhower himself or
a replacement who can hold the
ground where Eisenhower
stands. The question for the
Democrats "is whether they can
seize that ground.
All of this is not to say that
there are no important differ
ences in the political and social
philosophies of Eisenhower and
Stevenson. There are. Eisen
hower, for instance, is strongly
disposed to let things alone, and
to let what is remain what it is.
Stevenson is more conscious
that the world is moving and

that to preserve the essential
things, it is necessary to reform
and improve the means and the
measures of government. This
difference of outlook can have
great consequences in the long
run. It would have great conse
quences in time of crisis.
But for 1956, assuming that
nothing happens to arouse pop
ular passions, the Republicans
and Democrats will struggle for
possession of the middle ground.
THERE is strong evidence in
both parties to support the
thesis that the middle ground is
felt to be the winning ground.
If Eisenhower does not run
again, Warren is by a large mar
gin the second choice not only
of his admirers but of profes
sional politicians who are look
ing for a winner. Why? Because
Warren appeals to the great
middle mass of the voters which
includes the Eisenhower Repub
licans, the independents, and
outside the South the Eisen
hower Democrats. Both Eisen
hower and Warren are opposed
to the extremist factions. Nei
ther has ever stooped to cut
throat politics, to the notion that
politics is a dirty game which
should be played by dirty means,
to the notion that in the name
of Americanism it is good poli
tics to spew forth innuendos of
treason. -
Both Eisenhower and Warren
believe, one might say, that there
is a brotherhood of man, indeed
that there is such a thing as the
brotherhood of Americans, and
that it matters much more than
who wins the next election. And
that in the final analysis is the
moral faith of those who stand
on the middle ground.
...
1XTIEN the Democrats took
' over the control of the Sen
ate after the 1954 election, Sen.
Lyndon Johnson, with sharp
discernment, seized the middle
ground. He set out to demon
strate to the country that the
Democratic party is as well able
as Eisenhower to stand on that
middle ground. Sen. Johnson
may even have done better than
that. He may have proved that
Eisenhower never had a solid
stance until he supplanted Sen
ator Knowland as leader of the
Senate.
Senator Johnson's policy in
Congress did much, it seems to
me, to prepare the way, for the
renewal of Stevenson's political
popularity. Stevenson stands
naturally on the ground that the
Congressional Democrats chose
to make their own. By tempera
ment, by conviction, and on his
record, Stevenson is a man of
the middle. He is the very oppo
site of a factional politician who
plays for the extremes, of a rip
snorting partisan who will stoop
to anything to win. Like Eisen
hower and Warren he cares for
the community of American men
and women, and he carries him
self as one who believes that it is
the duty of a politician to do
nothing to divide that commun-'
ity irreparably, and that it is his
duty to be a healer of the na
tion's discords.
...
IT IS "VERY significant indeed,
it seems to me, that the three
men who have the widest popu
lar support for President are
Eisenhower, Warren and Steven
son. For what this signifies is
that, there is no important po
litical, much less ideological, di
vision among the preponderant
mass of Americans, and that
what they will be looking for in
1956 is a man who reflects faith
fully what is common to them.
