The American people are
afraid Of the Democrats Party
-.-afraid Of its present biased

the taxpayers money and the
gradual sabotage Of the pri-
vate-enterprise system.
That's the plain meaning Of
the stock markets violent re-
action to the first news Of
President Eisenhower's illness.
For the impression had been
built up IN recent months that
unless the President ran for o.
second term. the Democrats
would sweep into all branches
Of the Government including
the Judiciary. Fear Of a DEM
ocratic victory has made bust
rlessmen panicky.
The Illusion that only
Dwight Eisenhower could win
in. 1856 has been fostered to
some extent even by some Re-
publicans who now perhaps
see the unwfsdom Of their
theories and are beginning to
talk Of the Eisenhower team
as one that could be success
fully continued under another
Republican President.
But while the stock market
may rally again and again as
better news comes from Dem
yer. the biggest impact Of the
break may yet be felt by the
Democratic Party itself which
is sorely in need Of o recon-
stituted leadership.
The country moved toward
the brink Of disaster in fiscal
affairs under the Truman adj
ministration but was saved by
the conservatives In the Demo-
cratic Party in Congress who
hail from the South. Now the
