Stevenson's Chances Appraised

this was inherent in the cir
curnstances. Perhaps Republic
cans only capitalized shrewdly
on those circumstances.
Still, many experienced re-
porters feel that no President
in history has ever been so
pampered-by the press, by the
public. by the opposition party
in Congress. Other Presidents
have had as loud cheering Sec
tons but have had more and
louder critics.
The campaign. of course, has
provoked critical discussion of
the Eisenhower presidency, led
with increasing force by Ste
venson himself. In his case, at
least, there is no partisan pre-
tense about it, either.
Stevenson has had q great
deal of help and money. But
he has also found that many
people like to keep quiet about
what they do for him because
it would not be popular among
their associates, socially or in
business.
He believes there are a great
many voters who do not care
to buck the Eisenhower tide in
public but resent the assump-
ton that anybody who is any,
body is for the President. At
least it gives him hope. In
view Of all that presidential
candidates must do and en-
dure. they are richly entitled
to hope.
