A 'Me, Too/ Convention at Chicago!
The Republican convention has been on for two days
in the WINDY CITY, and while it didn’t get its name
from this and other conventions it would be appropriate,
judging by what we have seen and heard.
It is quite a spectacle, if a lot of people waving ban­
ners, pretending to listen to speakers (both good and
bad) make a good show. They have been warned not to
look like the Demos in their convention two weeks ago
—that was not dignified and is not fitting for a party that
is supposed to be composed of the conservative element
of the population.
The Republicans are hampered in trying to keep the
interest of millions of television viewers. The Demos did
have enough contestants for top place to keep a little
interest, but the Republicans gave it to Nixon months
ago. Can you imagine getting someone to read a book
after the story has been told and the climax reached?
The opening speeches made so many references to
Lincoln that we half way expected him to be introduced
before now. The Demos had their Jefferson and Roose­
velt and the Republicans have to use Lincoln and the
current war-hero-president, Eisenhower. The Republi­
cans are no more like the party of Lincoln than the
Demos are like the Jeffersonians. And for the presiden­
tial candidate of either party to run on what was done
by either of them one or two hundred years ago is rather
silly. Nor does it make sense that we can expect them to
be the same type president as Eisenhower or Roosevelt
just because they happen to belong to that party.
The only conservative speeches we have heard made
that consider the welfare of the United States have been
made by former President Hoover and by Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona.
Hoover said the “moral fiber of the people has de­
teriorated,” indicating less individualism and more lean­
ing on government for the things we should do for our­
selves. Goldwater is a Republican of the Lincoln vin­
tage—he believes that government should do only for
the people “what needs to be done and which they are
either unable to do for themselves or which can best
be done by federal government.”
It is possible that many delegates to this convention
admire and respect the thoughts of these two Republi­
cans but they fear that such a program could not win the
election this fall and they are much more concerned
about this than the welfare of the country.
This fear that the program could not win is illustrated
by the giving up to the liberals like Rockefeller in the
preparation of tne platform.
It was only a few short weeks ago that leaders of the
Republican party were saying that Rockefeller was most
embarrassing to them and that his philosophy was that
of a Democrat. But Nixon spent eight hours in secret
parley with him this past weekend and they came up
with big changes to be made in the platform from that
made up by the committee chosen for that purpose.
It was so different that Idaho's Congressman Budge,
as a member of the platform committee, used two days
in getting the other members to pass a resolution that
the platform was being made up by the committee in
Chicago and not by Nixon and Rockefeller in New York.
But Nixon will make the platform just the same as he
will select his running mate once he has the official
nomination. And they will both be selected with one
thing in mind—getting the most votes possible.
President Eisenhower read a political speech sum­
ming up all the good things that had been accomplished
during his years in office. He told his audience that more
people were employed than ever before and that their
take-home pay was the highest in history. He did not
tell about the unemployed or how much the take-home
pay would buy at present inflated prices and he did not
tell about the amount of the big increase in the national
debt that reaches into the thousands for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
He blasted those who inferred that we might be sec­
ond in military power to the Soviet Union. His reason­
ing seemed to be that we could not be because we had
spent so manv more billions for missile development
and research than had been spent during the Truman ad­
ministration. He made no mention of what the Russians
had done during this time other than make the general
statement that we were able to defend ourselves against
any nation.
Every voter will need to carry a sieve from now until
election day—to sift the truth from propaganda. The
little bits of truth he can find from what is printed will
be the whole that will make up his mind how he shall
vote. It appears now that there will be little to choose
from—it is a political race with the Republicans letting
the Demos set the pace and saying "me too” to all offers
made to different segments of voters.
Foreign policy will be the big item the Republicans
will use and they will keep using the theme that the
Demos were in power when the wars have come about,
so are to blame. The Demos will probably still blame
Hoover for the worst depression the country has ever
known.
We believe there is little difference in both parties
wanting a rtrong foreign policy and in spending for de­
fense. Eisenhower has certainly had the support of a
Democratic congress in most of this program but the
amount the different parties would spend will vary and
what it is spent for would differ.
So we believe the most important thing for voters to
consider is the direction government is heading and how
best we can have more individual Uberties and respon­
sibilities, with the federal government doing less and
less for us each year
