Platform
Slate Appeals
To Veterans
Majority Of Republican
Party's New Volunteer
Workers Are World
War III Veterans.

The 1852 Republican platforms
and states, national and state, are
proving to have much appeal to
many of Delaware's $4,000 veter-
ans; concrete evidence of this is
found in the fact that majority
of the partys new volunteer
workers" are World War II vet
eraps, many of whom have never
previously shown much interest in
politics. The G.. o. P. platform ad-
vocates many of the things upon
which the average Delaware vet
eran has strong feelings, ana the
states. national, state and county,
offer outstanding veterans as can
didates for major offices.
Nationally, the Republican Party
offers veteran candidates for both
the presidency and the vice-presi-
dency. The military record and
qualifications of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, one of Americas most
outstanding military leaders of all
time, are, of course, know to every
veteran, particularly those who
participated in the drive that
brought victory over the Axis Pow
ers in World War II. Admired by
all who ever served with him
