man blood or Roman prerogatives,
because II he had he would hardly cast
aspersionS on the virile activities Of
playing golf and going fishing. Is 1t
possible the Senator may have lost g.
pound bass sometime, and has never
gotten over it? Is 1t possible the Sem
ator has forgotten, also, that the PreSi-
dent of the United States Is reputed
to be an excellent bridge player, and
he has failed to call attention to that
deficiency? Or is it possible the game
of bridge has not yet permeated to the
hinterland OF West Virginia?
Perhaps, since the Senator has ac-
quired this state Of godliness which
permits him to criticize the President
In this manner, he would be glad to
state his own religious background and
religious activities in order that the
people may know how one should really
live in the spiritual world.
There are only two ways Of regard
ing this outburst by the Senator one
to completely ignore 1t and the other
to reply. To ignore it would be much
more sensible, but there are some forms
Of political propaganda which really
should not be ignored, and this one
especially, as it is an attack on the
personal integrity Of the President OF
the United States.
Truly, the Republican Party now has
q great ally in Senator Nicely as an
alienator Of Democratic votes. was
shocked to learn the Senator has
reached the age Of 80 years-theoret-
ica1ly, at least, the age of discretion
but apparently this glittering gen.
erality. like so many others, cannot
always be true.

In regard to Senator Neely's sad
opinion, may say that thank God
every day that we have man In the
White House who started his admins
tration with prayer and who attends
church regularly and who enjoys the
clean sport Of golf? I beseech you to not
stop publishing news of the Eisenhowers'
church attendance. It thrills our hearts
every time we read 1t. Incidentally,
where do you suppose Senator Nicely
(wio represents us) spends his Sum
days?
AS to the unkind statement by a
West Virginia Senator, ! am sure the
President cannot control photographers
who follow him to church for the pur-
pose of taking his picture.
If more people in this Nation would
be grateful for the fine, clean, honest
man who is our leader now. / think
that many OF us would be happier.

When you hit at man who is so
sincerely deyout as President Eisen-
hover is, and very obviously so, about
attending church regularly, you are hit
ting way down deep where the man
really lives. Those of us who are
Democrats win not be at all impressed
by such unworthy tactics as those used
by the junior Senator from West
Virginia.

Now that Senator Nicely has linked
President Eisenhower's religion to poli-
tics, ] think have heard everything
dirty about man that could be said.
How low can these politicians stoop?

Senator Neely's low blows bear out
the fact that he Is a small-time polite
clan in knee pants who lets his glib
tongue ramble for the purpose Of wish
full political expediency. We all know
that President Eisenhower is one of the
greatest Americans of all time, q man
who is humble, courageous. dynamic.
and has been Of great service to his
country as q defender Of the American
