DON'T LET THEM TAKE 1T AWAY

hlrehngS have flooded our Nation with the
cry of Don't Let Them Take 1t Away" This
is battle cry of the office holders of high
and low degree. 1t is the call for those who
are hoping to feed at the trough in Washing
ton and in Dover. 1t is the braying of the
democratic donkey long Overfed from the
public payroll.
Now just what is it that they dOnC want
taken away? 1t must be the Truman red
herrlngS, the mink coats which fOated around
Washington in lavish numbers only too re-
Gently, the crime and corruption in high
places so ably uncovered by Senator John J.
Williams Of Delaware, the bungling of our
foreign affairs including Korea Don't they
want to take away this killing war in Korea?
Do they want to create war-prOsperity
through the killing of our youth in that
Asiatic country Don't take it away. Again
the cry from Over-staffed State House
groups and Office holders How many indie
pendent Democrats have fed at this political
trough during the Carvel-McDOwell regime?
How many good Democrats have been fired
because they would not go along with the
policies of this group in Dover?
We say now that it's time for change
from a war-prosperity to a peace prosperity.
It's high time to restore honesty in Govern
ment and integrity in the White House by
electing as our COmmander-in-Chief a truly
great American-Dwight D. Eisenhower on
the National ticket, and Caleb BOggs to the
GOvernOrship here in Delaware. Next Tues
day is the day to make this change. Don't
Let Them Take 1t Away'-yOur chance to-
vote and be governed in the American way.

THE CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Granted that Governor Stevenson is a.
man of character, education and good back
of bo OF
Presidents we have known in recent years, it
is still true that General Eisenhower is one
Of the few men who have done the great
things in the present world without thought
Of personal power or profit.
There probably did live another man who
could have delivered North Africa, France,
Germany and the low countries from the
Nazi horror and set them Free but Adlai
Stevenson was not that man. 1t will take
more than literary style and neO-liberal
views to steer the United States safely in
the present chaos.
SO much for the personal issue. AS to the
principles involved, they are perfectly plain.
All who really want the Government to run
everything and everybody, OF hope for hand
outs from such a master, will support Steven
son. All who want to stand on their own
feet as free men will support Eisenhower.

BACKBONE
If man has backbone, he has courage
Backbone is nothing more than another word
for courage.
Twice, Adlai Stevenson declared that he
was worried about Ike's backbone. The ques-
tiOn arises-dOes Adlai know what backbone
is?
1t requires no backbone to say yes to all
the demands of Labor bosses, as Adlai has
done. Nor does it require backbone to adopt
Trumanism though it must require a reas-
Onably strong stomach. No backbone is in
vOlved in promising all things to all people
as Adlai has done.
These next four years will balance pre-
cariOusly upon the scales of history. We
have been told by leaders in the military and
civil fields that RusSia-the common enemy
will be at the peak of her power in 1854
or 1865. Then she may strike In the face of
such critical issue, whose backbone will the
voter trust, Ike's or AdIai's?
1t will require some backbone to end the
War in Korea. Mr.. Truman and Governor
Stevenson seem to feel we can maintain a
status quo by offering up the lives of Amer
leans upon Korean mountains. To prate of
prosperity builded upon such sacrifice is not
backbone.
Within a matter of days, the people will
answer Governor StevenSOn's concern anent
backbone 1t should not be to hisIliking, but,
if Ike is elected, it will give to the national
government a leadership with backbone, not
a funnybOne.
