Political
Notes
By The Associated Pres.


hind Dwight D. Eisenhower today
as the Republican presidential can
didate carries his crusade for
world peace into the Midwest
And Gov. Adlai Stevenson flies
to Denver to hit back at the Re-
publican theme that it's time for
a change.
Fresh from a triumphant 2-day
air tour of the Southland. Eisen-
hover won new plaudits Thursday
night from a wildly cheering crowd
Of 1880 in Philadelphia's Conven-
ton Hall.
They howled approval when he
declared America can lead the
world to peace and that 'sit Is a
cause for every American"
"Well, then, let's get going" he
said. Don't wait for tomorrow
Let's get going tonight"
Peace, Eisenhower said, can be
achieved only by throwing the
"wasterS, the bunglers and the
1ncompetentS' out of office in
Washington.
Charging the administration
"has bungled us perilously close
to World War Ill.," he said, 1--WE
will dedicate ourselves to a pro-
gram for peace aimed to prevent
future Koreas and the honorable
end of this Korean War"
The speech marked the formal
launching of Eisenhower's cam
paign. This morning the general
flies to Chicago for talks with Re-
publican leaders from Illinois,
Michigan and Indiana. Tonight he
talks with ward and precinct work
ers in Cook County (Chicago).
Stevenson's Denver speech To-
night Is p.m.) viii be a departure
from the pattern he has been fol-
lowing. That pattern has been one
of enunciating his own principles,
with only occasional sharp digs
at the opposition. Up to now Ste
venson had paid little heed to his
COP critics.
But in a 9-day air tour of nine
Western states, the Democratic
nominee intends to carry the fight
to the Republicans, answering
some os their arguments and at
tempting to NOW down some of
their major contentious. The Dem
yer address will be aimed at the
COP battle cry, "It'S time for
change"
Stevenson's running mate, Sen.
John Sparkman of Alabama, ac-
cused Eisenhower of lacking both
hindsight and foresight as far as
Russian-U. S. relations are con-
cerned.
He quoted the COP standard
bearer as saying at a Moscow
news conference in 1915: 81 see
nothing in the future to prevent
the United States and Russia from
becoming the closest Of friends"
The same year, he said, Eisen-
hover told a congressional COM
mittee That nothing guides Rus
sian policy so much as a desire
for friendship with the United
States"
Sparkman said Eisenhower, in
his campaigning, forgets his own
foreign policy predictions and COM
plains of the administrations poor
judgments. Sparkman made the
remarks while campaigning in
New Mexico.
His Republican opponent for the
vice presidency, Sen. Richard Nix
on Of California, told a COP con-
vention at Hartford, Conn, that
Eisenhower must be electNd TO
"clean up the mess in Washing
ton." Election Of Stevenson would
mean "bossism in the WhKe
House." he said.

Connecticut Republicans today
pick their candidate for tie short
term Senate seat left vacant by
the death of Sen. Brien Mcmahon,
a Democrat. Prescott Bush, a New
York investment banker, is the
likely choice over former Con-
gresswoman and Author Clare
Boothe Luce.

cratic national committeeman
from North Carolina, said he con-
sidered Gov. Allan Shivers of Tex
