Eisenhower As Popular As -Four Years IA,
In BLuftOn Pre-Election Poll Indicates

Eisenhower, after four years in the
Whitehouse, appears to be just as
popular in Bluffton as he was the
first time he ran, and should poll
approximately rs per cent of the
villages vote next Tuesday, poll
conducted Monday by Bluffton college
students indicates.
Just about everyone in town con-
tacted in the opinion sampling had
made up his mind concerning the
presidency, but there was still con-
siderable uncertainty as to how the
vote will go in the gubernatorial con-
test. OF those polled, IL per cent were
still undecided whether they will
mark an x for Republican William
O'Neill of Mickael Disable.
1870 OF Voters PolIed
In the comprehensive survey con-
Quoted by "a members OF DR.. Robert
Kreider's A m e r i C n Government
class, IL per cent of Bluffton's s
potential voting population was
polled. The results, among other
things, indicated another near record
vote, heavy plurality for Ike, O'Neill
a favorite over Disable, and pos
sible photo finish in the senate race
between Bender and Lausche.
The sampling of opinion on the
presidency gave Ike 76 per cent of the
vote as compared with % per cent for
Stevenson, with only two per cent of
the voters as yet undecided. In 1852
a similar poll gave Eisenhower II to
76 per. cent and he actually received
IS per cent.
Undecided On Governor
In the choice for governor, a large
IL per cent of undecided voters leaves
a question mark on the outcome,
although 81 per cent expressed pre-
ference for O'Neill over 26 per cent
for Mike Disable. The 1852 poll gave
the Republican candidate Herbert SO
per cent as compared with Al per
cent for Lausche, but actual voting
cut Herbert's margin down to So per
cent.
Closest of all however, is the race
locally between Republican Senator
George Bender and his Democratic
opponent, Frank Lausche. Here the
Bluffton poll indicates Bender slightly
ahead with AZ per cent of those
sampled favoring his elec ion.
Lausche is given "A per cent of the
vote with 9 per cent still undecided.
Apparently Blufftonites are of a
more definite mind of the senatorial

villages Boy Scouts and Cubs who

Rebel 'Auntie Name
A Dream Girl for All

even when the oGds seem most
desperate as in her reckless
novice's triumphant ride of
the south's most ferocious
stallion-incldentally one of
the plays most riotous scenes.
The essence of Auntie
Names popularity is that she
is a spirit so hell-bent upon
having a good time that no
one can watch her without
having an equally good time.
In a period in which the
theater has been so dominated
by humans having a bad time
by virtue of drug addiction,
glandular misbalance, or some
thing. she is the ideal comedy
relief.
The hunger to see her would
have to equal to her own appe-
tite for life or the world would
be as drearily unjust as the
message plays would have one
believe.
1t is mere coincidence that
another play dealing with pre-
cisely the same indomitable in
dividualist type should be play
ing opposite "Auntie Name"
at the Shubert.
This is Kyle Crichton's 1.-THE
Happiest Millionaire" An

based upon Cordelia Biddle's
biography, MY Philadelphia

a ravishing star, a musical-size
production almost recklessly
extravagant. 1t is sophisticated,
sentimental, alternately riot
ously funny and wistful, in
short the complete comedy.
Its title character, Miss
Russell's. is the epitome of the
ideal American heroine. She is
a life-lover with an apparently
equal relish for its ups. its
downs. and its absurd asides.
Experience is something to be
devoured, cheerfully down to
the last crumb. If she is not
exactly what you would want
your sister or daughter to be,
this is only because you are
willing to settle for less of Joy
in life for them.
WeatherprOof Girl
Auntle Name, of course, is a
product not only of the Dennis
family genes but of her envi-
ronment. The America she
grew up in was an amusement
park. the one that existed just
before the depression of 1929.
Because she never quite re-
covered from its merry-go-
round dizziness. she was one Of
the rare creatures who fought
these subsequent lean years to
better than draw.
Her fascination which is
realized to the hilt in Miss
Russells performance is that
of a girl who refuses to give
up a way of life merely because
life reverses its way. Moreover,
she has something else to fight
for, the small orphaned
nephew, Patrick.
She is whim-directed
always unerringly in the right
direction. For one example,
towards a salesgirl's job in
Macy's which nearly wrecks
the store but leads Auntie
Name to Beauguard Jackson
Pickett Burnside, the ideal
husband including oil wells.

thing of joy just as energetic,
eccentric and resourceful.
The Biddle play, however,
falls short of its purpose be-
cause it tries harder to be a
play. 1t seeks to conform where
its hero disdained to do any,
thing of the sort, and where
"Auntie Name" by it's very
spirit of recklessness succeeds.
The flaws of THE Happiest
Millionaire" of course are be-
ing corrected as rapidly as pos
sible. The changes cannot come
too fast or be too inspired.
The sight of two such nom
conformists as Auntie Name
and Tony Biddle on the stage
at once might be just what
this country needs. Well, one
OF the things it needs most.
