and our Nations security. :"
What happens to the presi-
dency if this goes on?" Mr.. Ste
venson asked. I'VE have always
measured men for the office.
Now we seem to be measuring
the office to suit the man. Under
four-year continuation of such
conditions, who would call the
signals? Who would run the
team?
This isn't a matter of one
mans health; this is a matter of
a Nations health. And this Ma
ton knows that no other issue
can be more important in this
election. and that it must be
faced up to squarely."
Mr.. Stevenson said the Repub-
lican campaign effort comes
down to getting one man elected
President $50 that another man
or group of MEXICAN run the
country" and then added:
Il call this phoniness. Perhaps
deceitfulness would be easier to
find in the dictionary"
Blunt and Angry Talk"
/ Mr.. Stevenson said this was
blunt or angry talk" and con-
tinued:
4 I'D better just admit that I'm
fed up with eight weeks of this
mealy-mouthed Republican
campaign talk, this squeaky
chorus-peace. prosperity and
lprogress-a peace that is as un-
reliable as Republican promise,
a progress that is n-exiStent,
and a prosperity they inherited,
Except they've dropped the
farmer, the small businessman,
and all too many others.
Il say it's phoney and de-
ceitful. And it's dangerous. It's
an attempt to make the people
forget the real issues in this
election. And we had better
realize what's going on for there
won't be another chance to audit
the books-or change the mana
ger--for four more years"
Jibes at Beauty Contest"
The Democratic candidate, in
a fighting mood as the campaign
neared a close, described the
campaign as an effort by the
Republican advertising agencies
to keep the country from de-
Gliding anything except a beauty
contest"
And, he added with a wry
grin. II confess I don't do well
in beauty contests"
I Mr.. Stevenson said the Presi-
dents speeches on his one-day
campaign swing Monday into
Florida and Virginia were those
of a man who either doesn't
know what is going on in the
country, or doesn't care, or
doesn't want you to know-or
to care"
He said that in Jacksonville.
Fla. the President talked about
distressed areas and referred to
programs afoot" to increase
prosperity.
What in the world has the
President been told?" Mr.. Steven
son asked. Those programs he
is talking about aren't afoot-
they are under foot. And they
are under foot because the Re-
publican leaders in Congress
killed the Democratic bill to bring
help to the distressed areas"
Notes New Farm Drop
He also said Mr.. Eisenhower.
whom he referred to disdainfully
as 1.-The Republican candidate. "
had said farmers were beginning
to get their fair share of pros
perity. Only yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Stevenson added. IL
was announced in Washington
that farm prices had fallen again
Tor the fourth straight month.
In the Presidents recent Madi.
son Square Garden speech. Mr.
Stevenson said, the public was
told that the administration was
removing farm SURPRISES.
Has his Secretary of Agricul-
tuer not dared tell the President
that those SURPRISES are now
