prices and they stand for
the political abuse Of our
currency. They stand for
seizure, for raiding the Treasury,
they stand against States
rights. The South can never
accept such men Or such a
platform"
On election day.. Mr.. Nixon
said, 'the South viii truly rise
again."
Evangelist Billy Graham
walked to the platform with
the Nixons and gave the in
vocation opening the rally.
Another Nixon booster on
the platform was a popular
South Carolina figure. Yankee
Second Baseman Bobby Rich
ardson, who urged support Of
"a winning team" next Tues
day.
Former Gov. Allen Shriver
of Texas in a warm-up address
predicted Mr.. Nixon would
carry more Southern States
than his Democratic rival. He
called his fellow Texan, SEN
ator Johnson. the Democratic
vice presidential candidate. "a
captive of a cunning. conniving
liberal political machine.
Nixon Flies to Texas
Mr.. Byrnes. introducing Mr..
Nixon, said the time has come
to vote for the man and not
a label"
The Republican nominee
flew on to Texas on his final
campaign tour, with the great
question remaining:
Will yesterdays all-out sup
port from President Eisen-
hover swing New York State to
Mr.. Nixon and his running
mate, Henry Cabot Lodge?
Predicts Big Victory
Before his departure from
New York, Mr.. Nixon pro-
claimed that "if the tide con-
tinues. will win by one of the
biggest electoral vote victories
ever"
Mr.. Nixon accused his Dem
ocratic opponent, Senator Ken
nedy, of "whistling in the dark"
and obviously getting panicky"
in claiming the Democrats have
the edge.
AS he busted the confetti
from his hair, Mr.. Nixon chal-
lenged his Democratic rivals to
display such a show of party
unity and purpose as. was put
on here yesterday by the Pres
ident, the two G. o. P. can
didates and Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York.
Exulting in the reception
received by the Republican
team" in a saturation drive in
New York City and its suburbs.
Mr.. Nixon, a Nixon press re-
lease said, was shocked by the
fact" that Senator Kennedy
would never allow his running
mate, Senator johnson, who
halls from Texas, Ito be seen
with him in New York before
the general public"
He called the Kennedy
johnson ticket IAN incompre-
hensible blur and smog" since
the two in their voting records
have differed markedly.
"Stand for Nothing"
Together they stand on both
sides of almost everything, and
so together they stand for
nothing" the Nixon statement
said. Their main common de-
nominator is an amateur stand
ing in world affairs"
This echoed the theme that
the President and Mr.. Nixon
stressed at every opportunity in
their 12-hour campaign blitz in
the New York City area, and it
had the earmarks of a reply to
Senator Kennedy's taunt that
Mr.. Eisenhower was leading a
rescue squad" for the Repub-
lican presidential candidate.
Whatever it was, it was po-
litical spectacle that was eli
NAKED with a rally in New
York's Coliseum last night, with
a capacity crowd of 10000 on
hand and thousands more
clamoring to get in.
The President, who returned
to Washington at 8:24 this
morning, had a last political
fling in New York and en-
phasized the need for leader
ship in foreign affairs. He was
interrupted so frequently he
had difficulty in finishing 1t
within the half-hour Of pur-
chased Nationwide television
time.
Without mentioning Senator
Kennedy by name, the Presi-
dent sharply challenged the
Democratic nominees conten-
ton that American prestige has
been impaired, and said:
"The Nation needs leaders
who have been immersed in the
hard facts Of public affairs in
a great variety Of situations
men of character who are able
to take the long-range goals
leaders who do not mistake
minor setbacks for major dis
asters-and leaders who by
their own records have dem
onstrated a capacity to get on
with the job.
I'VE want men of inexhaust-
ible faith. That is why
am so Fundamentally in back
of Richard Nixon and Cabot
Lodge. In their preparation
for high office the experience of
Cabot Lodge and Dick Nixon
has never been equaled."
Critical Years
Mr.. Eisenhower said the
country needs in the critical
