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.
