There's q Change in Stevenson
Democrats Viewed Excited Over Fight He Has Shown
In Drive and Believe He's in Dead Earnest Now

For a politician out Of Office,
this is nice going.
Nor is Mr.. Stevenson as
ISOLATED with any great insti-
tuition of learning, not even
with a small but perhaps re-
preventative one. He holds no
important private position.
His own means are relatively
modest: no shower of philan-
thropic gold can be expected
from attentions to him.
The truth is that except for
a neglected law practice he
is jobless and spending his own
money in part on what he Is
doing for others.
Mr.. Stevenson worked him
self into his present eminence.
His reluctant dragon" phase
which hindered his presidential
campaign in 1852 Is clearly
over.
It was only fair that he
should help to pay of party
debts by speaking at fund
raising dinners. It was only
decent that he should help
Democrats who campaigned for
him. That he should write
and speak as a major Demo-
cratic voice was his pleasure.
What has Democrats excited
about him in this campaign is
the sudden passion and fight
he has shown. Almost for the
first time they believe he is In

tional product of about $475
to $500 billion, well over
$40 billion could be spent for

hospitals, resource develop

American agriculture could be
substantially larger than the
1852 level of SIS billion.
And more Of the same, all

in general.
