publican platform urged a five
year Federal school construc-
ton program. Although the
President asked for construc-
ton aid in 1857, he did not
mention it in 1858 and, in 1859.
he changed the request to one
for Federal support for local
school bonds. The Democratic

Both platforms contained
general pledges to extend civil
rights and eliminate discrim-
ination. In 1857, Congress
passed its first civil rights leg
islation in rs years, with the
vigorous support Of President
Eisenhower. Despite pressure
for further civil rights legisla-
ton in 1859, the only action
was extension for two years of
the Civil Rights Commission,
which was set up in the 1857
bill.
The Democrats promise to
labor was delivered in reverse.

form said I'VE unequivocally
