secutor rather than the defender
Of the innocent is revolving"
Mr. Stevenson predicted that
"the pendulum of passion will
swing back and it will be cor
rected, have no doubt. but none
too soon"
He said the passionate diff

harass us for the foreseeable
future. But if the truths that
will heal and bind us together
are ever to emerge, there must
be confidence in ourselves and in
our faith in freedom. and there
must be a free trade Of, ideas
within the Nation and among
nations"
THAT is why" he added. 1.-THE
preservation of the guarantees
of our Bill of Rights must have
a high priority in the personal
history of any true Democrat. If
