Br LEONARD W. HALL GOP National Chairman Written for United Press When President Eisenhower called on Vice President Nixon and other campaigners to carry the "truth" about his adminis tration to the American people, he set the tone for the cam paign as far as the Republican party is concerned. Unfortunately, at this mid point between the nominating conventions and the election it self, it is apparent that Adlai Stevenson has set out on the type of campaign his own run ning mate, Estes Kefauver, once characterized as "mudsltnging" and "distortion." What kind of program docs Mr. Stevenson of fer the American people? In recent weeks, the White House has revealed three nu clear explosions in Russia, but Mr. Stevenson continues to c!l for an end to nuclear testing by the United State;. End Draft Although he calls the world situation bad. Mr. Stevenson says we should end the draft. In the face of record employ ment and the highest take-home pay in history, he preaches hard times. With farm income higher this year than last, and still climb in;, he says we're in the middle of a farm depression. Mr. Stevenson blames the Re publicans in Congress for the lack of new schools while the record shows the Democrats voted 96 per cent against the President's school construction program. Mr. Stevenson charges that Republicans in Congress will wreck the President's progress, but the Republican-led 83rd Con gress approved 75 per cent of Mr. Eisenhower's legislative pro gram while the Democrat-controlled 84th approved only 41 per cent. Has No Fear If this is the type of cam paign Mr. Stevenson proposes to continue up to election day, I have no fear the American peo ple will see through the sham and hypocricy and reelect the team of Eisenhower and Nixon. When the voter goes to the polls on Nov. 6. his choice will be simple: He can cast his bal lot to return to the Democrats whose policies led to spiraling inflation and a rising cost of living, to unsound federal financing with its waste and extravagance, to greater cen tralization in government, to civil rights talk without action, to labor-management discord and to unsound farm programs and price-depressing surpluses. The Democrats were never able to achieve prosperity without war or peace without wide spread unemployment. Or. the voter can cast his bal lot to continue the Republican policies that brought peace and Ihe highest level of prosperity in'our history. He can vote to keep in office an administration that stands for peace with honor, courage with caution, defense with a balanced budget, full em ployment with rising wages and a higher standard of living, and government with "good will" in stead of "good pull." Simply Staled President Eisenhower put it even more simply when he re minded his audience recently, of the contrast today with four years ago in foreign policy and in farm policy, in military af fairs and in fiscal affairs, in states' rights and in civil rights, in tax policy and in labor policy." "Where there was confusion then." he said, "today there is sense and order. "Where there was laxity, there is integrity. "Where there was doubt, there is confidence." What has been accomplished, however, is just the beginning. We must move forward, always with the dream of America a step ahead of the surging giant of our production and growth. That's what the Republican party stand for in America to day. That's what the reelection of President Eisenhower assures progress toward one great goal: the prosperity of our people, strong and free, in a world of peace. By PAUL M. BUTLER Democratic National Chairman Written for United Press A Democratic trend which has been gathering momentum since 1952 in local, state, congression al and presidential primary elec tions will carry the Stevenson Kefauver ticket to victory this November. This is a trend which says plainly that the Republican party managers misread the tem per of the country when they interpreted the 1952 Eisenhower victory as a mandate to declare a long national recess in pro gressive and forward-moving government for the people. It is a tide which means that the vot ers prefer the Democrats for their consi: nt interest than the Republicans inclined to em brace. Lower Farm Prices For America in the critical 1953-56 period, the Eisenhower administration prescribed lower farm price supports, smaller farm programs, reduction of the small business program, a belat ed and inadequate school build ing program, and a greatly shrunken housing program. It offered the country lower goals in social security, health insur ance, hospital construction, doc tors and nurses training, and medical research. It applied a brake to the movement to secure and strengthen labor's rights, i and it stalled for more than three years on a civil rights pro gram, j To meet our growing foreign commitments, the Eisenhower administration prescribed cut backs in our Army manpower and a slowdown in the buildup of our air strengthi In these three and one-half years, the military balance has been tilted heavily in favor of the Soviet powers. To meet the increasing de mands on the United States for leadership of the free nations in a world where Communist ca pacities are grow ing and revolu tionary ferment is spreading, this administration directed a retreat from cooperation with our allies and neutral countries. It has done nothing to develop our bipartisan foreign policy, but considerable to undermine it. The growing draft toward ser ious economic dislocation at home and crisis abroad is im pressed in our citizens daily in news headlines. In countless ways, our people are faced with evidence that this administra tion, like other Republican ad ministrations of the past, con cerns itself more with the prob lems of the few than with the problems of the many. All about them, our citizens can see conditions which show that the administration's favorit ism for special interests comes at heavy cost to the common in terest. Rising living costs now at an all-time high serve fresh warnings that Republican "hard money" policies mean harder times for consumers, farmers, small businessmen and others. Y i. llCi These developments compel the American people to recog nize that President Eisenhower is, has been, and will continue to be a Republican that he cannot command the allegiance of his own party even when he suggests only a moderate change from old Republican policies; that he has made no serious ef fort to change the Republican party in four years, and that he now has much less chance to break with the old guard past than he had four years ago. Coming to the end of the four- year Eisenhower holiday from affirmative government, Amer ica is presented with a clear al ternative in the record of the Democratic party. Under the vigorous leadership of Adlai E. Stevenson and Estes Kefauver. our party responds to the de mands of progressive America with the same spirit that has made the Democratic party the dependable servant of the na tion's highest aspirations for more than 150 years. The Ameri can people will vote accordingly on Nov. 6.
