November 7, I9SS O t3 G G 0 c.li ? e e Text of President Eisenhower's Victory Statement Washington (L'P.i Text of President Eisenhower s victory statenxnt made at Republican headquarters early today: tMr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Presi ent, my very good friends ' in this audience nd everywhere in the United States to whatever I o PORTLAND 1 1 areas my voice reaches: i This is a solemn moment. The lonly thing I should like to say I about this campaign is this: It ' ic a 7ctv hMrt-a-armino ovnpri. ence to know that your labors -your efforts of four years have achieved that level where they are approved by the United States of America in a vote. Such a vote as that cannot be merely for an individual. It is for principles and ideals for which ihat individual and his associates, have stood and have tried to exemplify. Most Grateful Thanks To all the people of the $J485 Piui Tax" uj est con ST l. am United States who have under stood what the administration the Republican party has been trying to do in these past four years, and consequently have worked so hard for the reelec tion of that administration, my most grateful thanks. The only thing I can say to all the people all the Ameri cans who have voted that ticket which puts us back into the same positions of responsibility I can only say, it is our earn est prayer that nothing we can ever do or shall ever do will betray that trust. And now let me say something that looks to the future! I think that modern Republicanism has now proved itself. And America has approved of modern Republi canism. And so, as we look ahead as we look ahead to the problems in front, let us remember that a political party deserves the approbation of America only as it represents-he ideals, the as pirations and the hopes of Amer icans. If that is anything less, it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. And the Republican party is not that! Looks To The Future Modern Republicanism looks to the future. Which means it looks to that era in that time in which our young axe most interested. And this means it will gain constantly new recruits from the youngest of our voters. And as such, as long as it re mains true to the ideals and the aspirations of America, it will continue to increase in power and influence for decades to come. It will point the way to peace among nations, and to prosperity advancing stand ards here at home in which everybody will share, regardless of any accident of power, of sta tion, of race, religion, or color. And if we cling to- these ideals, if we uphold them, if we fight for them, then I say: Republi cans deserve then, the vote of confidence that Republicans, friendly Democrats and inde pendents, have given us this day. My friends, I conclude with a pledge:" With whatever talents the good God has given me, with whatever strength there, is with in me, I will continue and so will my associates to do just one thing: to work for 168 mil lion Americans here at home and for peace in the world. Text of Stevenson's Statement of Concession Chicago UR) Text of Adlai E. Stevenson s concession state ment: I have just sent the following telegram to President Eisen hower: "You have won not only the election, but also an expression of the great confidence of the American people. I send you my warm congratulations. Tonight we are not Republi cans and Democrats, but Ameri cans. We appreciate the grave diffi c u 1 1 i e s your administration faces, and, as Americans, join in wishing you all success in the years that lie ahead." Word To Supporters And now let me say a word to you, my supporters and friends, all over the country. First, I want to express my respect and thanks to a gallant partner in this great adven ture Estes Kefauver. I wish there was some way I could properly thank you, one by one. I wish there was some way I could make you feel my gratitude for the support, the encouragement, the confidence that has sustained me through these weeks and months and years that I have been privileged to be your leader. Thanks' to many of you, I have twice had the proud experience of being selected by the Demo cratic party as its nominee for the most exalted office on earth. Once again I have tried hard to express my views and make clear my party's hopes for our beloved country. To you who are disappointed tonight, let me con- fes that I am too. But we must i not be downhearted, for 'There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see, and to see we have only to look.' People Made Choice For here, in America, the peo ple have made their choice in a vigorous partisan contest that has affirmed again the vitality of the Democratic process. And, I say God bles partisanship, for this is Democracy's life blood. Bear in mind that beyond the seas, in much of the world, in Russia, in China, in Hungary, in all the trembling satellites, par tisan controversy is forbidden and dissent suppressed. So I say to you, all of you everywhere, my dear and loyal friends, take heart there are things more precious than politi cal victory; there is the right to political contest. And who knows better how vigorous and alive it is than you who bear the fresh, painful wounds of battle. Let me add another thought for you who traveled with me on this great journey: I have tried to chart the road to a new and better America. 1 want to say to all of you who have followed me that I am su premely confident that our cause will ultimately prevail, for American can only go forward. It cannot go backward or stand still. Can't Draw Back But even more urgent is the hope that our leaders will recog nize that America wants to face up squarely to the facts of to day's world. We don't want to draw back from them. We can't. We are ready for the test that we know history has set for us. ... v i V 9 . Like a bolt cot of the blue it came. Suddenly and without warning a complete break with the past Mercury '57. Put what really happened? What were the behind the scene factors Teading up to this totally different, all new automobile? For-three full years, Mercury engineers and designers had worked tire lessly on scale models and futuristic experimental gars. Mercury '57 is the dramatic, uncompromising result of their pains taking effortsi .Here is a car straight out of tomorrow ... a dynamic, new automotive concept certain to influence the design of cars for years to come. Everything is changed on Mercury '57. New size, new ride, new power, new comfort, new handling ease. Like the 7-position Keyboard Control a Mercury exclusive that out- dates even push button transmissions that does just about everything or yo.u but sfeer. Like the. ingenious Mercury seat that actually "remembers" your favorite driving position. - Like the spectacular new Mercury styling . .-.from V-angle tail-lights to Jet-Fo bumpers . . . from side-post exhausts to oversized wrap-around picture windows.

See it for yourself on display at our " showrooms Friday, November 9. . And, finally, the will of our society is announced by the ma jority. And if other nations have thought in the past few weeks that we were looking the other way and too divided to act, they will learn otherwise. What unites us is deeper than what divides us love of freedom, love of justice, love of peace. May American continue, un der God, to be the shield and spear of Democracy. And let us giye the administration all re sponsible support in the troubled times ahead. ' Now I bid you good night, with a full heart and a fervent prayer that we will meet often again in the liberals' everlasting battle against ignorance, pover ty, misery and war. Be of good cheer. And remem ber, my dear friends, what a wise man said 'A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dryeth the bones.' Let there be no tears, for if I lost an election, I won a grand child. Eugene Board Accepts Morse's Challenged Vote Eugene U.R) An elec tion board yesterday, after due consideration, accepted the chal lenged vote of Sen. Wayne Morse . The right of the Democratic senator to cast his vote in the election was challenged by Woodrow Smith, Hood River service station operator who made an unsuccessful attempt to win the Democratic ' party nomination from Morse in the May primary. Smith maintained a six hour vigil outside the voting place yesterday until the senator showed up to cast his ballot at 2 p.m. Oath Administered Mrs. Pearl Pallette, an elec tion judge, listened to the chal lenge and administered the elec tion oath to Morse as required by law. After the challenge was is sued, the board considered the challenge and decided that the documents submitted by Smith in his contention that Morse was a Republican rather than a Dem ocrat only proved that the sen. tor had changed his party regis tration. The events took place in the crowded kitchen of the M. J. Gleason home; the voting loca tion tor Friendly precinct. Smith explained as he made his challenge that "he didn't have it in for Morse he mere ly doubted that he was a Demo crat." Smith had earlier made several unsuccessful legal at tempts to establish this as a fact. BEDFORD MOTORS, Inc. 6th r Ivy . , . Phone 2-6157 Former Prison Inmate Retains Congress Seat Lawrence, Mass.
