Books and BuIlots

What is the effect of books on
ballots? It's hard to say. For in
stance, Mccarthy, the Man. the
Senator, the ISM" slambang
critique of the junior Senator
from Wisconsin by Jack Anderson
and Ronald w. May (Beacon) If
read, was not taken to heart by
the Wisconsin voters, who turned
it's subject back into Office by o
hearty margin.
The name of Wendell Willkie
was not SO much as mentioned by
Republicans at their recent con-
vention. Yet the defeated Repub-
lican presidential candidate Of
1910 was the subject of two full
length biographies, which ap-
peared-coincidentally. say both
Notwithstanding this year of
political decision. They were Of
special interest as campaign read
ing. because of the different points
of view taken by the authors.
In "Willkie" by Joseph Barnes
(Simon g. Schuster). the author
suggests that Willkie may have
been nobbled by the professional
politicians. In the livelier, more
gossipy Wendell Willkie," Mary
Earhart Dillon takes a diametri-
cally opposite stand. Had the con-
quering hero of the Republican
Convention shaken a few more
hands and flattered more party
regulars. he might have won the
White House. Speculation is USE
less now, of course, but still in
triguing.

mans Working with Roosevelt"

lady told a clerk IF We can't have
him in the White House, we can at
least have him in our libraries"
Democratic politicians may in
terpret this as good omen for '56.
Gov. Stevenson's eloquence also
gave rise to one of the most
handsomely produced campaign
volumes of this or any year. This
was THE Stark Reality of Re-
sponsibility," an exquisite piece of
bookmaking inspired by the Gov
ernor's soaring acceptance speech.
Among his rapt listeners was an
expert and dealer in Lincolniana,
Ralph Newman, who in his own
words resolved to have the speech
printed in the formal most ap-
propriate to its great content"
He succeeded.
Yes, the Governor unqueStion-
ably modified the world of letters
as few politicians in history. His
impact will be remembered in
other ways. For instance, he gave
the researchers and bookworms
a CHASTITY time with a noble line
in his election eve speech: "On
the plains of hesitation bleach the
bones OF countless thousands ,Oho
on the epe OF pictory rested, and
resting, died"
Countless hundreds of scholars
and kibitzers were sure they had
heard it before. Every one from
the Prophet Isaiah to Archibald
MacLeish was quoted as the source.
Bartlett's was turned upside
down to no avail. True-blue
Stevensonians said of course it
was the master himself at his
excellent best. The source was
ultimately revealed as an old In
ternational Correspondence School
ad.

it abounded in wise saws and
aphorisms of freshness that did
not surprise admirers of the i'm
mortal Will.
It is perhaps significant of
something that the most purely
facetious entry in the presidential
sweepstakes actually swept the
country. Il Go Pogo" by Walt
Kelly (Simon and Schuster)
racked up the greatest number of
book buyers votes, 10000 to be
exact.
The runner-up to this popular
story of a non-existent presiden-

the best stories of a bull fighter

There were several historical
novels which certainly were a cut
above the usual costume romance.
Gladys Schmitt's 'ConfessorS of
the Name DiaD, also dealing
with Rome when the empire was
crumbling, brings some of these
ancient Romans back to life, pre-

On the Riqht Track

With the wisdom of hindsight
it is also possible to say that Ray

enchanted New Dealer expounded
the theory that if the disunited

The impact of the voting was

Campaign Biographies

In the matter of campaign BIZ
ographies, the year produced the
usual quota of tinsel and froth,
hastily assembled life stories of
potential candidates which made
them appear at once as honey
as an old shoe and bold as a lion.
But to a surprising extent some
such books showed a balance and
temperatures that was an unex-
pected dividend.
For instance John Gunther's
Eisenhower" (Harper), which ap-
peared in January, though a
rather superficial essay, still dared
to be critical. Later on. two biog-
raphies of Governor Stephenson
