Wisconsin Vote Examined

indications that things are
astir in the agricultural re-
gions, and a crossing over to
the Democratic Party by the
farmers could make quite a
difference in the final result.
One thing seems certain
there will be a contest of
major proportions this autumn
and the party organizations
will exert more effort to get
out the vote than in any cleo
ton in history. This is partly
because more money will be
available to both parties and
the candidates will make use
of every medium of commune
cation more intensively than
ever before,
AS a consequence OF the pri-
marieS, the Republican leaders
will be warning their party
workers against overconfidence.
The Democratic managers are
counting heavily on former
President Truman to carry on
a give 'em hell" offensive. He
didn't make a very suspicious
start with his New York speech
this week because foreign poll
icy" is an abstract subject to
the voter. The public generally
understands only the major
points-peace or War-and just
now the administration has all
the advantage of the peace side
OF the argument.
It's on economic issues that
the Democrats must make their
campaign. They can demon
strate that income is down in
the farm States. But they will
be hard put to it to make any
Roadway in the industrial
States unless the auto business
falls off and considerable I'M
employment results before the
autumn elections. The Min
nesota and Wisconsin prima-
rieS have come and gone and
have left the campaign man
ayers on both sides with no
real clue as to what November
will bring.

Strength of Free World May Determine
Course Russia Will Choose to Follow

Last year at Geneva when
the summit conference
brought, however briefly, a
flash of hope to the weary
world, the issue inside Rus
STA had not yet been conclu-
sively settled as to its ultimate
direction. Thus. the explana-
ton goes. the spirit of &C.
neva" was rudely shattered
only short time later when
Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
tov made plain that the Red
line was the same old obstruc-
tionism and deceit. proving
mainly that the bigwigs Of the
Soviet Communist Party had
not as yet worked out their
differences.
But since then, various &C
tions and declarations even
before the amazing attacks on
the memory of the Sainted
Stain have lent weight to the
predictions that change was in
the offing. Many Of them, of
course. were merely tactical
moves in the shifty Soviet
tradition. But there were signs.
Yet what these signs and
these developments can mean
may be far from hopeful for
the free world. Change is hav-
ing its effect in the Red HER
archy, without a doubt, but the
peoples not yet held in the iron
grip of communism would do
we'll to reflect that change is
not necessarily for the better.

Democrats Claim Late G. O. P. Borrooe
OF Ads Boosted Eisenhower Vote

A swelling farm revolt has
rubbed off on President Eisen-
hover in traditionally Repub-
lican Wisconsin.
The States primary vote
both confirms the trend estab-
lished in Minnesota and sug-
gests that Republicans are
unduly complacent about the
Presidents invulnerability to
ordinary political considera-
tons.
Since both Senator Estes
Kefauver and the President
were to all practical purposes
uEUpposed in the Wisconsin
primaries the voting was
viewed as a popularity contest.
Both parties belatedly realized
tins after the Minnesota upset.
The Democrats did little and
spent no money. Republicans
staged a last-minute pro- Els
enhower barrage. This plus a
100000 expenditure oy the
national committee in farm
State advertising had the ct
feet of moving the President
into the line OF fire, a place lie
had hitherto managed to
avoid.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-05

Now 1t appears that Senator
Kefauver has polled AZ per
cent of the total Wisconsin
primary vote as against 27.7
per cent in 1852. Most of his
gains came from the farming
areas of the State.
The Milwaukee Journal
pointed out last Sunday that
in recent presidential pri-
maries. Republican vote totals
had been two and three times
as large as the Democratic
total.
1t suggested that Repub-
licans might crow about get
ting Is per cent of Tuesdays
totals for the President. In
stead he got 55.4 per cent.
while a right-wing G.. o. P.
candidate. John Chapple. got
only rs per cent.
According. to the Journal
the Democrats might Justly
claim a victory If Kefauver
polled 40 per cent, a figure he
has slightly exceeded.
Had additionally Democratic
Milwaukee returned its usual
majorities. Kefauver might
have done better and even
reached the halfway mark.

Secretary Of State Dulles
has openly voiced the hope
that the current internal "re-
examination" going on, with
obvious top consent and d.
rection, within the Kremlin
may eventually lead to a basic
shift in Soviet policy toward
the rest Of the world. The Sec
retary's hope is certainly
shared by us all; certainly no
single thing could do as much
to lift the tense burden of
anxiety. the crushing cost of
armament, and the gnaWing
sense of Illustration under the
ominous shadow Of nuclear
warfare from a shaken and
saddened world, as a major
change for the better in the
character and aims Of Com
muniSt Russia.
Assuredly the possibility al
ways exists that the Soviet
Union could conceivably un-
dergo marked changeover
from the terrorist dictatorship
Of the late Josef Stain. De-
spite much Marxist pap to the
contrary. there are no inevi-
table and memorable courses
laid down for nations and peo-
Piles to follow. Events have
wrought changes in Russia be-
fore and will surely do so
again, the French Revolution
went from joyous freedom to
exceSses to empire and back to
the Bourbons within a be-
wllderingly short space of
time. and still more change
was to come.
In Moscow today there is
much ferment and much cast
ing about. but observers close
to the scene since the death
Of Stain agree that the big
gest part Of the internal
seething probably went on at
white heat deep inside the
Kremlin for many months be-
fore the first manifestations
Of change were open to pub
lie view.

Sign of Revolt Down on the Farm?

But that city. with a hot
mayoralty campaign on its
hands. voted heavily and still
gave the President a $4,000
vote edge over the Senator.
This is an upset possibly
indicating an Eisenhower APP
peal to the cities. The two
Milwaukee congressional dis
tricts have sent Democrats to
the House with substantial
majorities; their fences may
need mending.
Democratic leaders in Mil
waukee believe they would
have done better had Adlai
Stevenson been on the ballot.
They also think they we're
undercut by the last-minute
G. o. P appeal.
It is easy to read too much
into primaries. Yet the farm
revolt and Kefauver's pop
ularity with the farmers are
surely real.
1t appears. too. that Repub-
licans in an effort to improve
their situation in the Midwest
have been unwise to beat the
drums so soon for Eisenhower.
The farm bill is still to come
to his desk and he might be
able to pull a compromise out
of it which would improve his
position in the Midwest.

Hopes. for Real Change in Soviet

tradition is not one to bolster
the hopes Of those who expect
the Communist regime to lib
eralize itself. Over the en-.
tire range of modern history,
Russia has been in the grip Of
some sort of absolutism: mod
Grafton and self-determination
have been mere words to this
half Western, half Oriental
society. Popular participation
in government has never ex-
listed there. thus there is mel.
ther tradition nor dream Of
freedom to inspire the Rus

Added to this is the suspi.
cious nature of the Bolshevik

We do not need to speculate on
one outstanding fact: That as

as any time since the end Of

A strong and confident free

Republicans came out in
bigger numbers to vote in Wis
consin than they did in the
Minnesota primary, while the
Democrats did not do as we'll
in Wisconsin as in the Min
nesota primary this year.
Although in Minnesota only
about IS per cent of the Repub-
licans who had voted in the
1852 final election went to the
polls this year. the Wisconsin
presidential primary brought
out So per cent of the Repub-
licans who voted in the 1852
election. The Democrats, on
the other hand, polled in the
Minnesota primary 10 per cent
of their 1852 election vote, but
in Wisconsin the Democrats
proportion of their 1852 vote
dropped to as per cent.
1t could be argued that this
fall-off in the Democratic vote
was due to an absence of any
contest in Wisconsin. But
there was no contest on the
Republican side either. In fact,
Wisconsin was supposed to be
one of those States where the
farm revolt would bring a
serious detection in the Repub-
lican Party. Percentagewise,
nevertheless, the Republicans
brought out a slightly bigger
proportion of their own vote
than the Democrats did.
1t is important in comparing
the figures of this years pri-
mary elections and the pri-
mares of four years ago to
recall that the Republicans
staged quite a contest in the
1852 primaries, with Senator
Taft, Earl Warren and Harold
Stassen dividing the vote. So
the total Republican vote in
the 1852 primary of 776,600
must be compared with the
425,000 cast this year for

Popularity of Eisenhower Proved
But Farm Unrest Remains Big Item

President Eisenhower and 49,
900 for John Chapple, or a
total Of 443 .000-virtually no
contest.
The Democrats. on the other
hand, four years ago, didn't
have much of a contest and
Senator Kefauver made only
a few trips to the State. The
total Democratic vote in the
1852 primary was 24l,525 as
compared with approximately
$4,000 this year. 1t was a
gain of about $4,000 votes this
time, but when it is noted
that Stevenson polled 622.l75
in the 1852 election. it will be
apparent that the votes in the
Democratic primary this week
fell far short of the total of
four years ago.
The primary campaigns evil
IDENTIFY do not arouse the voters
as a whole. More people who
are eligible to vote stay away
than those who do go to the
polls.
Plainly, the most significant
thing about the primary votes
IN Minnesota and Wisconsin
is the popularity of President
Eisenhower with a large seq
ment of his own party, but
the results are not conclusive
as to whether these States can
be carried by the Republicans
next November.
There is no doubt that a
farm revolt is on in the Mid
die West. There is no doubt
also that grievances usually
accumulate against the party
in power. The Republicans
are facing real battle this
time and will need to get out
their vote. On the surface.
