CHEER


A cheerful giver is guy
who is requested to give less
than he thought he'd have to.
HUNTING
Seems that more and more
farm owners are posting land
this year with the intent of
keeping strangers from hunt
ing thereon. Heard about one
farmer who leased his land
granting hunting privileges to
a group of hunters. Turned
out that after the contract was
signed that the farmer could
Mt hunt on his own land! Mat
ter of fact, the farmer was re-
stricted from hunting any
where but within 300 feet of
his housei
VIEWPOINT
We have noted that great
many people do not speak i'll
of the dead On the other hand
these same people never seem
to have anything good to say
about the living.
TAXES
T. Coleman Andrews, for
mer chief of the internal rev.
enue department, would stand
a good chance of being elected
President if the election were
held on April Is instead of No
vember 6. His platform is the
repeal of the income tax laws!
VOTING
Man by the name of A. G.
Klemm from Oregon, an au-
thority on the subject, says
that your vote is important
and gives the following facts
to prove said claim. "One
vote elected a President of the
United States; one vote made
Texas a part of the u. s.; and
one vote admitted California,
Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon to the Union"
LAW
Lady went into law office
and told the barrister she
wanted a divorce. "On what
grounds 2" inquired the law
yer. Careless appearance,
exclaimed the lady. That's
not grounds in the state, said
the lawyer. Well, said the
lady, "he hasn't been home in
four years-if that amt care
less appearance, I don't know
what is!'
FACT
A retired farmer is just a
tired man who can't sleep any
later in the morning.
LIVING
We know a housewife who
has so much faith in her hus-
band that she even gives him
letters to mail.
LIFE
We have no ambition to
climb the highest mountain if
only for the reason that it's
just as hard to get down as it
is up.
PoLLYTiCks
From all we've heard, it ap-
pears that Adlai would like to
trade places with Ike Even
Stevenson.
QUESTION
"Why does the chicken cross
the road?" used to get laughs
from small fry and retarded
adults. Nowadays you seldom
hear this question because the
chicken never gets there.
HISTORY
In our opinion, the meek
have already inherited the
earth-and now a bunch of
bullies is trying to take it
away from US!
HOLY MATRiMoNY
After talking to both famil-
les, one comes to the conclus-
ion that neither the bride nor
the groom is good enough for
the other.
TRAFFIC
Traffic cop to driver of car
half way up a telephone pole:
"Iow did this happen
Driver: my wife fen a
sleep"
OUCH!
And then there's the one
about the guy who was SO
dumb he thought that corporal
punishment was an enlisted
man married to a WAC.
ADAGE
A man can do lot of good
in this world if he doesn't care
who gets the credit.
LAST WORD
Never count your chickens
before they're hatched-one of
'em might turn out to be a
duck.

q candidate again in 1860.
From California word has
come that Paul Ziffren. member
of the national committee and
of the executive committee, will
take up at tomorrow's meeting
proposal to have a Western
Democratic regional conference
set up. He insists that the West
should be given a more impor-
tant voice in party affairs-espe-
cially in view of the gains the
Democrats made in the Far
Western States in the recent
elections. He may propose. too,
that the next meeting of the
national committee itself be held
in California.
May Have "Victory Dinners
The plans for paying the
party debt are said to include
Embarrassing dinners in many
parts Of country-and they may
include victory dinners" in
recognition of the Democratic
success in retaining control of
Congress despite the overwhelm-
ing victory Of President Eisen-
hover. Already it has been
suggested that such a victory
dinner be held here at the time
the 85th Congress opens. A
campaign for small contribu-
tons from many Democrats all
over the country is also contem-
plated.

been received at the national
committee headquarters. Mr..
Stevenson has been mentioning
in South Carolina.
VIII Stevenson Take Part?
Mr.. Stevenson's defeat by
President Eisenhower was his
second. Some of the Democrats
here feel that Mr.. Stevenson
could help clear the atmosphere
by an early announcement he
will not again seek a presidential
nomination. What part Nj Ste
venson will play in a drive to pay
off the party debt has not yet
been disclosed. After his defeat
in 1852, Mr.. Stevenson was con-
stantly on the go for two years,
speaking at many Embarrassing
dinners, and otherwise helping
to pay the half-million- dollar
debt growing out Of that cam
paign.
Mr.. Stevenson is the first de-
feated Democratic candidate to
be renominated since the days of
the late William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan. first nominated for
President in 1896, was renom-
mated in 1900 and again in 1908
He was defeated all three times.

THE PUBLIC PULSE
Voters Saw Eisenhower
As Best Peace Promoter

favored President Eisenhower's
candidacy. and hence that his
mandate was a mandate from all
the people. not just certain "spe-
cial-interest" groups.
The results we have cited here
emphasize that his mandate is
not only a mandate from all the
people, but is a mandate to main
tain or restore world peace.
The Democratic Mandate
At the same time, the cleo
ton of q Democratic Senate
and House of Representatives,
coupled with the fact that
Mr.. Stevenson showed greater
strength than Mr.. Eisenhower on
such domestic issues as having
the interests of the common
people at heart, seeing to it that
taxes are lowered, avoiding I'M
employment, restraining the in
fiuence of big business. and help
ing the farmers-these facts
indicate that while Eisenhower's
mandate is primarily a foreign
policy mandate to maintain
peace, it is also a mandate to
continue the domestic policies of
the Democratic Party.

THE PUBLIC PULSE
BY JOEL /. BROOKE
Elmo Roper and Associates

Recent events in Poland, Hun
gary and the Middle East have
raised in Importance those issues
which worked most strongly in
President Eisenhower's behalf in
the recent election. Peace and
foreign policy are the issues
which most people feel that Mr.
Eisenhower. rather than Mr.. Ste
venson. is uniquely qualified to
deal with. Many Of his sup
porters. particularly the Demo-
Gratis and independents who
added their votes to the regular
Republicans to give him his ire
mendous margin Of victory. may
well be saying in these post
election days, I'VE were afraid
all along of something like this.
That's why we voted for Ike"
Most Voters agreed that peace,
dealing with Russia, maintain
ing prosperity. and segregation
were the major problems facing
the country - more important
than taxes. the farm problem or
the Presidents health. But the
table below shows that while
peace came first with all major
groups, the various groups in the
electorate differed on the rela-
tive Importance Of these other
major issues:
Republicans =. First Peace; Second,
regation.
Independents for Eisenhower - First,
Peace: Second, Russia; Third, Prosper
ity' Fourth, Segregation.
Democrats for Eisenhower = First.
Peace; Second, Russia; Third. Prosper
ity; Fourth, Segregation.
Democrats for stevenson--First, Peace;
Second, SEGREGATION; Third, Prosperity;
Fourth, Russia.
The Republicans as well as the
Democrats and independents who
voted for Mr.. Eisenhower placed
greater importance on dealing
with Russia than did those who
voted for Mr.. Stevenson. Deal
ing with Russia, Of couse, is
closely allied to the matter Of
peace.
Moreover. while substantial
numbers Of the pro-Eisenhower
Democrats and independents had
confidence in Mr.. Stevenson in
domestic matters such as lower
ing taxes and dealing with the
problems of segregation, in the
field Of foreign affairs they were
strongly inclined to prefer Mr..
Eisenhower.
That the issues of peace and
foreign policy worked strongly
for Mr.. Eisenhower's reelection
Is shown rather dramatically in
the answers to the following
question:
Here is a list of issues that
some people are concerned about.
Will you 60 down 1t and tell me
for each whether you think 1t
would ONLY be true for Eisen-
hover, ONLY true for Steven
son, true for BOTH Of them, or
true for NEITHER Of them!"

Important elections are coming
up in 1858, when a new Congress
is to be elected. The Democrats
are not going to let the grass
grow under their feet. The con-
duct of party affairs, including
party programs, will lie very
much in the hands of those
Democrats who will control the
85th Congress, which opens its
first session January 3. How
ever, the Democratic National
Committee will be on hand at
all times to supply the Demo-
cratic members of Congress with
material and its research serv-
ice.
Whether there viii be any
communication from Adlai Ste
venson. titular head of the party
and its recent presidential CEN
or from Senator Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee, its vice
presidential candidate, is not
known. No word from either has

discuss future plans for the
organization. including projects
to pay off the million-dollar debt
grown out Of the recent cam
paign.
Chairman Butler has an
|nounced he has no intention of
resigning his present post. He
will devote himself to paying the
party's debts.
Job Not Challenged
So far, there has been no open
challenge to Mr.. Buffers plan to
retain the national chairman
ship. As one Democratic Senator
said yesterday:
"Who would be DESTROYS to
take over a job like that, with a
dollar debt staring him
in the face? Mr.. Butler deserves
to have a medal pinned on him
FOR retaining the Office under the
circumstances"
Paying off the debt, however,
is not the only subject the COM
mittee is expected to discuss.

BY overwhelming margins,
the Eisenhower supporters feel
that he is best qualified in the
foreign affairs field. While the
Democrats for Stevenson give q
slight edge to Mr.. Stevenson in
this regard. it is nothing like
the margin which Mr.. EiSen-
hover commands in the other
three groups. Mr.. Eisenhower's
showing on commanding the
respect of the Russians" is
Is similarly strong. On this
matter, even the Democrats for
Mr.. Stevenson give the edge to
Mr.. Eisenhower.
From the start of the cam
paign. maintaining the peace
was an issue that worked
strongly for Mr.. Eisenhower.
But with the outbreak Of trouble,
the issue changed from main
tanning the peace to restoring
the peace. and worked even
more strongly for Mr.. Essen
hover, as the following figures
indicate:
