Editors Comment on Ike's Decision
Br UNITED PRESS
Editorial comment on Presi
dent Eisenhower's decision to
seek reelection:
The New York Times: The cen
tral fact in this decision, we be
lieve, is that it has been made
by the President himself and,
as such, made in the unquestion
ably sincere belief that he is fit
to run again and will be fit to
serve again, if reelected. In these
judgments, of course, he may be
mistaken. Neither he nor any of
us can read the future . . . We at
least know that the Republican
party will be led in the next
campaign by an internationalist
and a humanitarian. Regardless
of party preference, that in itself
is a cause for gratitude and satisfaction.
New York Daily News: To us,
It seems great news . . . We
hope it will be an Eisenhower
Nixon ticket . . .
New York Daily Mirror
(Hearst) : The vulgar and often
mendacious discussion of Presi
dent Eisenhower's health has in
no manner affected the.enthusi
asm of the American people for
him. There is so much confi
dence in the man that the peo
ple instinctively feel that if
President Eisenhower did not be
lieve he could adequatly fill
the office, he would not want
it . . . The Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket will surely please the ma
jority of American voters as it
did in 1952.
ment. '"It had to be," Harry said.
"Nobody can make that decision
except the President himself."'
Nobody, but nobody.
New York Post: We believe
the weight of the medical testi
mony is against a second term
for him. We believe Mr. Eisen
hower no longer has the vigor
and stamina for the job ... To
us it is a very dangerous gamble,
not just for the United States,
but for the world. This is the
age of hell bomb and a moment
in history when we need a strong
hand full time, not part time
in the White House . . . Dwight
D. Eisenhower should be settling
down now to the quiet years.
Philadelphia Daily News: The
build-up was beautiful. The men
around Ike the palace guard
and the public relations special
ists did a mighty effective job
on Ike's announcement that he
would, after all, run for a sec
ond term. Ike going to run again?
Why of course. Senate Republi
can Leader Knowland said al
most casually ... It was a del
iberate playing down of Ike's
second major illness within nine
months. The play started with
the doctors who said hours
after the emergency operation
for ileitis that Ike was now
better than ever . . . Yesterday's
announcement was an expertly
managed change of pace. Ike will
pick up the load for the GOP.
The buildup was beautiful but
the record still stands. The rec
ord of what has been happening
to the U.S. and to the Free World
since Ike was stricken a month
ago.
Chicago Sun-Times: President
Eisenhower's statement that he
is still a candidate for a second
term is good news for the nation
and the world.
It means that this beloved
leader of America has the firm
conviction that he can stand the
strains and stresses of another
four years in the White House.

Demo Convention
To Select Candidate
San Francisco Chronicle: His
assurance to the congressional
delegation that he is "in better
shape than before" his intestinal
operation of June 9 . . . cannot
with certainty be disputed by
anyone. It is probable, of course,
that the Democratic opposition
will attempt to make capital of
the health issue, but the Presi
dent's appearance of vigor and
gaining strength will give the
public its own means of judg
ing . . . Yesterday's news from
Gettysburg is heartily welcome.
New York World - Telegram
nd Sun (Scripps-Howard): The
news announced by Sen. Know
land probably won't put an end
to the guff being spread by some
pretenders to inside information
that an unwell man is being
pushed into this campaign
against his will. This is Ike's de
cision, all the way, if for no oth
er reason that the one stated
by former President Truman,
when he heard the announce-

ftmtfcer DepeadaM Colgate prmhet
Chicago (U.R) It will take
686', votes at the 1956 Democra
tic convention to nominate the
candidate for president.
Delegates will have a total of
1,372 votes. Rules require a ma
jority of these to pick the nom
inee. Actually, the number of dele
gates will top 1,372. Under Demo
cratic National Committee rules,
the states may split their votes
and name a delegate for each
half-vote.
Swelling the crowd in the am
phitheater will be hundreds of al
ternates to cast the vote of dele
gates who may miss a roll call.
This will bring the number of
delegates and alternates to be
tween 2.500 and 3,000.
Votes Divided
The Democratic National com
mittee has divided the conven
tion votes among the states on
the same lines as the 1952 con
vention, with two possible ways
of getting a "bonus."
A state gets four votes more
than it had in 1952 if it fell in
the Democratic column in the
1952 presidential election, or if
it has elected a Democratic gov
ernor or senator since Nov. 4,
1952.
New York will have the big
gest batch of convention votes,
98. Pennsylvania comes second
with 74, followed by California
with 68 and Illinois with 64.
Vermont has but six conven
tion votes, the smallest number
for any state. North and South
Dakota and New Hampshire will
have eight each.
Alaska, the District of Colum
bia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
each have been allotted six votes,
and the Canal Zone and Virgin
Islands will have three apiece.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler has said he
hopes the first nominating
speeches will be given on the
morning of the third day of the
convention, Wednesday, Aug. 15.
These may take most of that
day, for in addition to the nom
inating speech itself there are
seconding ' speeches and floor
demonstrations. Butler said he
hopes to begin the first roll call
Ike Issues Report
On Surplus Products
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower reported to Congress
today that the government sold
or donated $1,264,800,000 in sur
plus farm products during the
six months ended June 30.
Overseas shipments accounted
for most of the total.
The new amount brought the
total cost of the program under
a special disposal act to $2,953,-
000,000. The act, adopted in Sep
tember, 1954, permits the gov
ernment to sell farm surpluses
abroad for foreign currency, to
make donations to friendly
countries for relief arid welfare
purposes, to finance shipping
charges, to supply relief and wel
fare organizations and needy
persons in this country, and to
permit barter transactions
abroad for strategic materials.
Des Moines, la. (U.R) Farm
mechanization continued relent
lessly on Iowa farms in 1955.
There were 98,000 head of horses
and mules on Iowa farms in
1954, but only 88,000 in 1955.
INSURE TO VALUE AT A LOWER COST
Why pay your present fire insurance premium

Wednesday night.
The roll call is alphabetically
by state s Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, etc. followed by the
territories in alphabetical order.
A state may pass when its turn
comes and announces its votes at
the end of the roll call.
If a delegate wishes, he may
demand a poll of the delegation
from his own state to see wheth
er it jibes with the figures an
nounced by the chairman of the
delegation.
This was a sore point in 1952,
when it cippeared that some dele
gates were demanding polls just
to get into the television spot
light while the convention mark
ed time for the poll.
This year, plans are to have
the convention chairman send
down his representative to poll
the state when it is demanded.
The roll call would continue,
with the result from that state
announced later.
Roll calls continue until one
candidate gets the necessary
686Vi votes.
Dairy Industry Is
Important to County
' The dairy industry is impor
tant to the economy of Jackson
county and the state, Richard
Westerberg, manager of the Milk
Producers league told members
of the Medford Rotary club here
Tuesday.
In a luncheon address at the
Jackson hotel Westerberg em
phasized the importance of the
high standards established in the
former milk control law and ad
vised residents to "talk to the
family doctor" if in doubt about
the cleanliness and safety of milk
sources.
Westerberg, who is president
of both the Oregon and Western
Milk Producers associations and
operates a dairy near Ashland,
said that milk is nature's most
perfect food, and the milk cow is
probably the most unique and ef
ficient manufacturing machine
in existence.
"Admirals in the Making," a
motion picture, was shown fol
lowing Westerberg's address.
Jennings Pierce introduced the
speaker and D. Ford McCormick
was program chairman. The
Medford Rotary club's new pres
ident, Weldon Kline, presided.
