Highlights of Langlie's GOP Keynote Address
Langlie Blasts Opposition as
Uneasy Coalition of 'Hot Heads1
San Francisco U.R) Gov.
Arthur B. Langlie of Washing
ton told the GOP convention
Monday night that the differ
ence between the political par
ties i this: Democrats "give 'em
hell" while Republicans give
them leadership.
Langlie, in the convention's
keynote address, blasted the op
position as an uneasy coalition
of "hot heads" and "timid souls"
held together only by a common
desire for power.
The Republican administra
tion, he said, has replaced Demo
cratic "mismanagement and cor
ruption" with a constructive
program looking to peace, pros
perity, and progress.
He geared his attack to the
firebrand keynote speech deliv
ered last week to the Democrat
ic National convention by Gov.
Frank G. Clement of Tennessee,
setting off waves of laughter in
San Francisco's Cow Palace with
his mimicry of Clement's arm
waving delivery.
Styla Restrained
Langlie's style was carefully
restrained, and when he was
done Sen. William F. Knowland
(R.-Calif .) took the rostrum to
say: "Not only this convention
but the nation will contrast this
keynote speech by Gov. Langlie
with the one that was given in
Chicago a week ago."
Langlie asked the nation to
judge the GOP on its record
since the 1952 election.
Under the Republicans, he
said, "There is peace in the land,
there is well being in the homes
of America, and there is re
newed faith in our time honored
principles of individual freedom
and personal responsibility."
He urged that his party be
kept in power so that it might
continue its "crusade for a finer
America in a better world under
the competent, steadfast, forth
right leadership of Dwight D.
Eisenhower."
Langlie, who will be seeking
a Senate seat in the November
elections, said the Republicans
in the coming campaign will
strive "to give them leadership"
and "not to 'give 'em hell.' "
However, he went ahead to hit
the opposition party with the
hardest oratorical blows that he
could muster.
Democrats Accused
He accused the Democrats of
"twenty demoralizing years of
discord and defeatism in our
public affairs, ending up In fla
grant corruption.
He said they went out of of
fice leaving "a staggering na
tional debt, a greatly reduced
value of the dollar, a colossal
bureaucracy and vastly increas
ed taxes."
The Democrats, he said, were
"responsible for the security of
our country and of the free
world precisely when Commu
nist world aggression achieved
its maximum success, when the
nations of Eastern Europe were
lost to freedom and when on an
other continent China became
part of the Communist empire."

Leadership Party Purpose
Arilai Sees Speech
Another Example
Of Complacency
Libertyville, 111. OJ.R) Ad-
lai E. Stevenson charged today
that the keynote speech deliv
ered by Washington Gov. Arthur
B. Langlie at the Republican
Convention in San Francisco
Monday was "another example
of the administration s smug self
righteous complacency."
"I have no expectation of an
honest appraisal of the dangers
abroad and the failures at home
from .any official Republican
spokesman, at least before the
election," the Democratic presi
dential candidate said in a state
ment at his country home.
"The Republican keynote was
mat All is well and God is on
our side, Stevenson said.
"It was another example of the
administration s smug, self-righteous
complacency."
Langlie's keynote speech
stressed peace and prosperity
and called for four more years of
a Republican "crusade for a finer
America in a better world under
the competent, steadfast, forth
right leadership of Dwiaht D.
Eisenhower."
Stevenson said that the key
note address was not "the first
time Langlie has shamelessly
confused fact and falsehood for
political ends.
In 1950," Stevenson said, "he
said I had run up a large deficit
in Illinois. The fact is that I left
the state with a large treasury
balance after doubling school aid
and other programs and without
raising general revenue taxes.'
Adlai's First Attack
Stevenson's blast at.Lanelip
was his first attack on he Re
publicans since he began a rest
Monday at his country home.
Stevenson, plotting his cam
paign strategy at his country
home here, was concerned about
his party's limited campaign
funds.
He faced a major problem of
how to split the money between
costly television addresses and
expensive "whistle stops."
-President Eisenhower, as the
nation's chief executive, has the
use of a government-owned rail
road car.
Phone Installers
Continue Walkout
Portland (U.R) A walkout of
about 700 telephone equipment
installers employed by Western
Electric Company in the Pacific
Northwest continued today as
negotiations for a new contract
remained deadlocked in New
York.
No formal strike call had been
issued by union members in
Portland were asked to attend
a meeting today to hear latest
developments and prepare for
possible start of picketing tomorrow.
The union was reported to
have cut its original demand for
an 18-cent hourly wage increase
to 15 cents.
D. G. Ward, president of the
North Pacific local of the Com
munications Workers of Amer
ica, said a number of other is
sues were of major Importance
in negotiations, one of which
was a demand for elimination
of geographical wage differentials.
In an, about 18,000 men in
44 states are involved.
Comparison With
Opposition Said
To Be Welcomed
San Francisco (U.R) High
lights of Washington Gov. Ar
thur B. Langlie's keynote ad
dress to the Republican Nation
al Convention:
Our party's purpose in this
campaign is not to 'give 'em
hell' but to give them leader
ship. We welcome comparison, with
the opposition, of both our pro
grams and our leaders, and we
ask to be judged for the future
by our record in the past three
and a half years. For we have
come a long way in a short
time. There is peace in the land,
there is well being in the homes
of America, and there is renew
ed faith in our time-honored
principles of individual freedom
and personal responsibility.
The American farmer today
can once again look forward
to raising his crops for his mar
kets instead of for government
warehouses. And he can once
again look forward to parity
generated by markets, not battlefields.
The Democratic party Is a
party of many divisions. It is
a party of sectionalism and fac
tionalism. It stands for one thing
in the South, another in the
North. Under the same roof, this
party has some of the leaders
of organized labor and some of
the bitterest, most reactionary
enemies of the men and women
who toil in our factories. It has
northern liberals who militantly
champion civil rights up to a
point and they have others
who abhor' civil liberties like
the plague. They have national
istic hotheads who rattle their
sabers at every opportunity, dis
turb friendly relations with oth
er nations, and they have timid
souls who attack and criticize
the administration and accuse
us of risking war whenever we
act firmly and effectively to
prevent war.

For twentv vears this party
(Democratic) subsisted only from
one crisis to another some real,
some imaginary, some fabri

After World War II was over,
the Democrats fought to keep
socialistic war controls over
every phase of a free American
life. And, when a Republican
Con cress restored freedom to
the people, the Democrats pre
dicted wild and wanton intiation
and economic disaster. It did
not happen.
After the cutback in military
spending which followed peace
in Korea, the Democrats cried
out that a great depression was

stead we began to enjoy the
greatest prosperity in our entire
history.
The Democrats prophesied tne
loss of our Allies and the col
lapse of our defense after the
Geneva conference. Neither hap
pened. Instead world peace be

Kremlin more conciliatory.
