over creative imagination. It was the
triumph of the medicine man and the
mealy mouth. II was the conquest of
the reasoned word by the slippery elm
club. Never before had our press, our
advertising agencies, and all the engines
of publicity combined forces with such
ingenuity, with such dedication. It was
all that money and power could buy.
and we were sold.

Honor and patriotism-the old-fasI-
ioned virtues so long sneezed at by our
intellectuals-have won over a paper
dollar worth So cents. God be praised.
1t. Earnest A. Cole.
The American people condemned the
present regime in no uncertain terms.
I consider November 4, 1852, the most
important date in United States history
since VI Day. Personally I am more
elated over the present victory than I
was over the victory in Japan in 1945.
I believe in the President elect - his
honesty-his sincerity-his patriotism;
I believe him to be the greatest leader
Of his time.
Senator Nixon recently spoke of 1.-THE
Forgotten Man" and pointed out that
the most forgotten man in America
today is the young man of 18 to 26
years-the boy entering college, the
young man just going out into business,
the young American about to be married
and enter the great host of home
makers After all what has such young
man had to look forward to, to pin his
hopes and aspirations on to place his
faith in? What, ask you?
All that was brought home to me in
an unexpected incident and the For
gotten Man" was my own son! I re-
turned home at AS pm. after watch
ing the election returns on television to
find my boy glued to our own TV
screen. He had been there alone all eve
ming. Watching and waiting to see what
the American voters might do for him
and for all young Americans of his age
group Would they vote to continue the
present policies of deficit spending. high
taxes, softness toward Communists in
Government? Would they vote to send
him and his young friends into the
Korean war to fight the hordes of fanat-
ical Asiatic Reds? Would they elect to
make the dark cloud of uncertainty still
more dark?

leader in whom we can place our faith.
leader whose honesty, whose integrity,
and whose honor can not be questioned.
Now our young people can look ahead
with real faith: they can plan for real
future of promise. To be sure, they must
carry burdens; they may have to fight
Communism, and depression, and still
unknown forces, but they will do it with
faith in their leaders and faith in their
own future and the future of this great
United States Of America.
Gov Stevenson's loss might not have
been so great had the Stevenson band
wagon wheels not been warped and his
horse, Harry, in such need of grooming.

The victory of Gen. Eisenhower was
probably due primarily to his enormous
popularity and the comparative un-
familiarity of the voters with Gov.
Stevenson. There are, however, num-
ber of other factors that helped to bring
success to the general.
Corruption in the administration, high
prices with wages barely keeping up
with them, the most troublesome inter-
national situation, the great length of
time in office for the Democratic Party,
the failure of the administration to
initiate any constructive measures in
the last few years all had part in con-
tributing to Stevenson's defeat.
The main slogans Of the Democrats
seemed to tell the voters to be satisfied
with the way things are. They empha-
