Sparkman Airs Views
Senator Sparkman, the 1852

his health Mr., Eisenhower
hasn't any business running.

his heart attack last September

If he should be reelected we
would be destined to have a part

tors-Holland and Smathers-

One reason Florida is regarded
as less certain than the other
southern States is the fact that
its growth of population has
brought many new residents
from the North.
The Democratic nominee spoke
once in Virginia, at Fairfax, be-
fore starting on this trip, and
he probably will visit Tennessee
and Texas later in the campaign,
but no definite decision has been
announced
Although Mr.. Stevenson frank
lily re-stated his support of the

ton decision as soon as he en-
tered the South at Little Rock,
Ark. it did not seem to disturb
southern leaders. In fact, he
even got applause from at least
half of his audience when he
suggested that law-abiding citi-
zens will accept it.
! The thinking of the Southern
Politicians seems to be that
since both major parties arr

would be in a stronger position

landed at Minneapolis the tenn.
perature was down in the 40s
and at the first shopping center
Mr.. Stevenson, wearing only {
light raincoat, commented or
the weather.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
lof Minnesota, conferred with
Bernard Shanedling, owner oil
the shopping center, who bought
Mr.. Stevenson a new tweed coat
in a nearby store.
At a later stop. Mr.. Stevenson
told the crowd about the mi.
racle" which produced the coat
for him and jokingly added, %You
should never reveal the emperor
without any clothes on a colo
day."
At one of the shopping centers
a girl in the crowd yelled at the
end of his talk, You're better
than Elvis Presley"
Greatest Compliment"
Il have just had the greatest
compliment of my life," Mr.
Stevenson retorted. Il wonder
how many of you young girls
know that Elvis Presley said
the other day, 'Stevenson's got
the moStest.'
In accusing the Republicans
on being divided on foreign af-
fairs. the Democratic nominee
recalled Herbert Hoover'S "For-
tress America" concept and the
late Senator Taft's negative
iSo!ationist views" which he said
are still shared by many of Mr..
Taft'S followers.
Mr.. Stevenson said that when
Woodrow Wilson had his "im-
mortal dream Of a League of
Nations, the Republicans called
it worse names than a theatre
cal gesture. He gave Franklin
D. Roosevelt credit for proposing
the United Nations but said that
even today many Republicans
are suspicious of it or hostile.
