Candidacy Held Spured by Belief
90. p. Administration Is CoIomitous

Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota feelingly refers to this
process as always having to
open your veins and rewrite
your loyalty in your blood"
Doubtless the description
would appeal to Stevenson,
who views a promise made as
a debt unpaid and, in the best
tradition of the Yukon, has a
stern code regarding it.
The most positive virtue
of the new development is
that pro-Stevenson Demo-
Gratis can now be sure that
he will not pull the rug out
from under them at the con-
vention after they have COM
mitted themselves to his sup
port.
Stevenson is a candidate.
He will not make any deals.
He is not in it to stop any
one person or help another.
He really wants to be Presi-
dent.
That desire is influenced
by his present absolute con-
viction that the Eisenhower
administration is a calamity
and Vice President Nixon a
catastrophe for the country.
The latter has been largely
true from the start; the
former took somewhat longer.
For in 1852 Stevenson felt
there was much to be said
for a change after 20 con-

Khrushchev's Campaign Thrust

Khrushchev to be a personal
factor in this campaign.
Communism is. Russia is.
But we must not permit
Khrushchev shrewdly to
arouse our angers and re-
sentiments so that we allow
him to manipulate our votes.
He would like nothing bet
ter than to divert our eyes
from the real issues-and
focus them instead on him.
Here is not merely an op-
portunity-but a duty-on
Mr.. Nixon and the Demo-
cratic candidates. Let them
warn us by their own words
and example not to fall into
Mr.. ks net.

Bid Seen to Influence u. S. Politics,
Pushing Us Into Aggressive Position

Therefore, if he can so
intervene as to cause Mr..
Nixon and the candidate who
will run against him to wrap
themselves in an American
flag and campaign on emo
tions aroused by Mr.. K, he
will have won a major vic
tory without bloodshed.
If we commit the supreme
idiocy of permitting the
shadow of the late Joe Nc
Carthy's fear and divisive
tactics to become an integral
ingredient of the 1860 presi-
dental campaign, then in
deed will communism ad-
vance itself in Europe and
Asia.
1t is a dangerous oversim-
plification to say merely
that communism wishes to
conquer the world. That is
true. But it ignores the meth
cd. Communism cannot con-
quer the world with war.
Not now, at any rate.
Communism can conquer
the world only when, and If,
it obtains control enough of
the people and resources to
become invincible. Mr.. K
knows this. This is what Mr..
K meant when he said he
would bury us without war.
Knowledgeable men in
many departments of our
Government know this and
are concerned by the progress
made. They are troubled by
what goes on in what is left
of Asia and in the new states
struggling to independence
in Africa - lacking trained
men and resources necessary
to stability.
How mature are we?
This is an important ques-
tion.
But even more important
is the question of how politi-
cally mature are our candi-
dates. They and their cam
paign managers can protect
the Nation from the grievous
results of allowil7t Nikita

Never having been political

on with their work without
being desperately concerned
over who is to be the next

What, then, is the factual
situation now concerning the

is about it:
l. Speculations that Khru-
shchev is in deep trouble at

true, however, that he has
been embarrassed before his
people. He had let them sup
pose he held Mr.. Eisenhower
in the palm of his hand. The
summit outcome showed this
to be far from the case.
2. KS insistent threats to
use rockets against our allies
have not accomplished their
aims of splitting the West.

Now that the emotional
storms of the broken summit
conference have largely
passed over them, the men
whose duty it is to conduct
American foreign policy in
a professional and unemo-
tional way are quietly back
on the job.
They are resuming ordi-
nary and normal relations
through ordinary and normal
diplomatic channels with the
Soviet Union. They do not
expect any miraculous easing
of the new tensions caused
by the brutality of Nikita
Khrushchev. But they do not
go around seeing doom and
disaster everywhere.
They don't think, in short,
that the cold war has been
changed in any fundamen-
tai way by the summit flasco.
Never having been all
choked up with ecstasy over
the glories to come from
summitry, these professional
diplomats are not now cast
into darkest gloom by sum-
mitry's inevitable failure.
Never having truste d
Khrushchev all too far,
they are able now to avoid
the temptation of fearing
Khrushchev all too much.
Having thought all along
especially because of Khrush-
chev's own bitter public
words long before the sum-
nit even met-that the Rus
slams would permit no real
conference anyhow, they are
able now to avoid the lamen-
tations that in fact no real

Which Voters Are Best Informed?

or the other of the major
parties. And the individual
who has such a commitment
is likely to have his interest
and concern with politics
sustained at a higher level" "
This is but another way of
saying that the so-called in
dependents are people who
have not learned much from
lofty speeches or pronounce
mentS and are swayed in
each campaign by emotional
or economic considerations.
This is the very opposite of
the position often expressed
by the so-called liberals, who
have tried consistently to
foster the idea that the Gin
dependent" holds the balance
of power and that he must
be appealed to on the high
est level of highbrowism.
The truth is that the word
independent" is a misno-
mer. In England, they are
far more realistic about it.
They call the uncertain
voters switch" voters. This is
because they go from party
to party in each election, de-
pending upon which way the
wind is blowing from the
economic standpoint.
Many of these switch"
voters do not go to the polls
at all. If they are satisfied
with current economic con-
ditionS, they are more than
likely to stay at home rather
than bother to cast a vote.
When, however, they are
aroused by some issue,
whether economic or emo
tional-like corruption or a
threat of war-these same
voters show up at the polls.
The integrity of an ad-
ministration can become the
important issue in a national
campaign, and emotions can
be aroused over war and
peace. In the absence Of any
emotional issue, economic
considerations usually in
fluence the vast majority of
the voters. If they are salts
fed, they continue the party
in power. If they are dis
pleased, they turn to the OPP
posite party.

Authors Hold Portisons Know More
About Issues Than the Independents

concerned with the course of
government, who weighs the
rival appeals of a campaign
and reaches a Judgment that
is unswayed by partisan
prejudice, has had such a
vigorous history in the ira
dition of political reform
and has such a hold on civic
education today-that one
could easily suppose that the
habitual partisan has the
more limited interest and
concern with politics.
But if the usual image of
the independent voter is in
tended as more than a nor
NATIVE ideal. it fits poorly the
characteristics of the inde-
pendentS in our samples.
Far from being more at
tentive, interested and in
formed, independents tend as
a group to be somewhat less
involved in politics. They
have somewhat poorer knowl-
edge of the issues, their i'm
age of the candidates is
fainter, their interest in the
campaign is less, their con-
Germ over the outcome is rela-
lively slight and their choice
between competing candi-
dates, although it is indeed
made later in the campaign,
seems much less to spring
from discoverable evaluations
of the elements of national
politics.
Detailed studies and polls
show that, of those citizens
who are strongly identified
with one or the other of the
parties, 80 per cent care
very much" whereas 18 per
cent do not care very much

contrasts with the record of

tinuous years of Democratic
administration and he had
confidence in Eisenhower.
BY 1856 he had decided
that the change was not for
the better and that Eisen-
hover, by then a victim of
serious illness and surgery,
lacked the vigor and creative
power to start in a new di-
rection. An entrenched ad-
ministration nevertheless dis
posed of him fairly easily.
He knows it, and it is per-
hapS a major reason why he
has been so insistent that
others in his party should
have their chance at the
nomination.
The 1860 Stevenson would
campaign more harshly than
before. The question remains
whether he would be harsh
enough to dispose of Nixon
on any ground that remorse-
less campaigner might seize.
The plea of Democrats all
over the country is that they
have got to have a cam
paigner. They feel they have
all the best of it on issues
and in organization. Their
apprehenSions about all their
candidates-not just Steven
Son-are centered on the per-
sonal aspect.
That is why no real ven-
delta spirit against any one
Democratic candidate exists:
all are liked we'll enough. It
is that campaigner doubt
which will not down.

On that stormy and per-
haps fateful Monday when
he wrecked the summit con-
ference at Paris, Nikita
Khrushchev thrust himself
into the American presi-
Dental campaign.
This duly was noted at the
time.
Since that hour he has
served as a sort of unofficial
and unlimited Republican
campaign manager to assure
the nomination and election
of Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Khrushchev has done
this by the very simple device
of saying that he does not
like Mr.. Nixon and hopes the
American people will not
elect him.
This potential influence of
Mr.. K. poses a very real
danger to our country. 1t
serves to make him appear
even wiser and more shrewd
than he is. 1t suggests that
he understands that he can
weaken us by causing us to
become involved in another
senseless and debilitating
argument about which can
didate or which party is
soft" on communism. The
Soviet Premier can surely but
slowly push this country into
a position as an aggressor
or as one which does not
honestly want peace if we
fail to see the purpose of his
participation in our politics.
There are tremendous is
sues which we must solve.
Whatever the final effect
of Gov. Rockefeller's eloquent
manifesto may be, he has
called attention to what con-
fronts us.
1t is no exaggeration to say
that if we fail to give due at
tention to such issues and
demands of foreign policy,
national defense, education
and medical care for the old,
we very we'll may commit
slow national suicide,
Kwushchev knows this.

A myth has been built up
that the independents" con-
stitute the best-informed
group in the entire electorate.
This writer has never ac-
cepted such a view and has
contended just the opposite
namely, that the indie
pendents are swayed much
more by superficial than
critical analysis of the issues.
A book entitled THE
American Voter" has just
been published which throws
considerable light on the
subject. Since it comes from
academic sources, it may at
tract the attention of the
many academicians who
have from time to time un-
Willingly exaggerated the
Importance of the 'inde-
pendent" vote.
The book was written by
Profs. Angus Campbell,
Philip Converse, warren
Miller and Donald Stokes
members of the Survey Re-
search Center at the Univer-
sity of Michigan. All of them
are in the field of political
science and have participated
in many surveys and re-
searches on voter attitudes.
Far from confirming the
widespread impression that
independents" are thought
full, well-informed persons
who have a profound knowl-
edge of political issues, the
Michigan experts contend
that the voter who is con-
sistently identified with one
or the other of the political
parties is likely to know more
about the issues than is the
independent. Some extracts
from the book read as
follows:
The stronger the indi-
vidual's sense of attachment
to one of the parties, the
greater his psychological in
volvement in political affairs.
The association is easily
missed in popular accounts
of electoral behavior. The
ideal of the independent cit
