Landslide Sweet Music to Most Ears
To the Editor Of The Stor:

November 4, 1852. However, the general
was fairly well trained to accomplish the
task: first he invaded Africa, then Ger
many, and finally he invaded the South.
The South expected the general to
begin his invasion from some of it's
many beachheads but he switched his
tactics and came in by land. from the
rear.

The crack Gravy Train Express. bound
from Missouri to Washington, came to
grief Tuesday night. Scheduled to de-
liver its occupants to the White House
by midnight of November 4, it suddenly
came to an abrupt stop out in Illinois.
Just ahead of the Gravy Train the
Republican U. S. Special had pulled out
from siding, and had thrown the
switch. From long disuse the switch
was little rusty. and stubbornly refused
to switch back. Some kindly witnesses
placed flares to warn the Gravy Train,
but succeeded only in slowing its speed
somewhat. Fortunately, it wasn't going
so fast when it struck the switch, and
stuck, and casualties were confined to
shock and general messing up of the
passengers, with much confusion,
jumbling of baggage, and loss Of
through tickets.
The Republican U. S. Special, which
had come all the way from California,
and had just been catching 40 winks
on the siding and taking on steam, ended
the run on record time.

Now that the general has won the
election, we Republicans owe vote Of
thanks to the millions of Democrats
who aided in the creation of the great
Eisenhower landslide.
These men and women of the Demo-
cratic Party did not desert their party.
No they rendered it life saving service.
They were sick at heart and disgusted
and outraged over the manner in which
the little man and his followers, the
Trumanites, besmirched the noble en-
sign of Democracy, which stood for the
principles and philosophy of it's designer
and creator, that illustrious statesman
and patriot. Thomas jefferson.
They also rendered heroic service to
all Americans in helping us get rid of the
most corrupt. inefficient and waSteful
administration this Nation has ever had;
venson did not repudiate and hence
was obliged to suffer the consequences.
The greatest service that these noble
men and women Of the Democratic
Party, who voted for Gen. Eisenhower.
rendered their own party is that they
banished the usurpers and wreckers OF
their party headed by the little man
who smuggled into the White House the
ugly spectre of Prendergastism under
the protective cloak of Miss Democracy.
Finally they have written ''Proclama-
ton of Emancipation" for their party
freeing it from the spoilers; yes and
what is more, they have given a new
birth of life and freedom OF action
to the great Democratic Party which
now can become a valiant force OF op-
position to the party in power, which
is so essential to the continuation OF
the American two-party system.
All hail and thanks million to these
good Democrats, loyal and true Amerl-
cans all.

When the Republicans and Gen. Eli
senhower pass out rewards to those VINO
worked hardest to elect Eisenhower,
President Truman should not be over
looked.
During the campaign no one did more
than Harry S. Truman to bring ABOUT
Eisenhower's election.

The tumult and the tension are over.
We, the American people, have chosen
our President. It has not been an easy
choice. The sterling qualities OF each
candidate have been carefully weighed.
as have been the pros and cons OF their
respective parties. American voting was
not entered upon lightly this time, which
\ is a good omen. Serious thought and
PRAYER have been an infinite part OF this
final decision.
It is now up to the victorS and the
vanquished alike to put aside all bitter
ness, to bury bloody hatchets and give
our new leader chance to prove MS
greatness by keeping faith with him and
giving him our whole-hearted support
in the grueling years ahead. United let
us stand-citizens Of His Kingdom.

Rarely in our history has presiden-

perior to his opponent-n personal
qualifications, in principles, in specific
issues, in his associates-as was Adlal
Stevenson-a fact which led such diverse
groups as college faculties and labor to
be almost unanimous in his support.
And Stevenson went down in defeat.
But let no one say that this was the
triumph of one policy over another, for
the Republicans never offered any real
or consistent policy. It was rather the
triumph of expediency over honesty and
faith, of merchandising over quality, OF
the soap huckster over the prophet. 1t
was the victory of organized visceral
fiction over rank truth. of obfuscation
over clear thinking. 1t was the mastery
of muttonhead over egghead. of am
nesia over painful memory, of cliche
