Eisenhower’s Victory Laid To Many Factors Politicians Trace Steps By Which the Desire for A Change Was Made Winning Point In Campaign/ Democratic Strategy Failed. ..By ARTHUR KROCK, In New. York Times New York, Nov. 9.—The political analysts, who range from elec tronic statisticians to door-bell ringers and the members of the corner cigar store and cossroads hot-stove leagues, will be theoriz ing for a long time why it was that more than 33* million of the i60 millions who voted in the Pres idential election of 1952 supported Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower over Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois and put an end to Demicratic ten ure in the White House that had lasted twenty years. These analysts will differ on many of the theories advanced . among them, and doubtless histo rians now alive and those not yet born will differ also. The latter may reach sounder conclusions, be cause the contemporary eye has a Service Man’s Widow Tells Experience more limited vision. But a group of practical politicos of other par ties, consulted by this department, pretty well agreed on the analysis that follows. (1) A large majority of the American people decided months ago that once again the time had arrived in our history when a change in party power at Wash ington was desirable. This decision was gradually solidified and ex panded by the revelations of offic ial corruption in the Executive De partment; by evidence that the,Ad-, ministration had been indifferent to signs of Communist infiltration in government and for a time had deprecated an hampered Congres sional exposures of this fact; and by a losing race in the household between the prices of life’s neces saries and what taxes left of the earnings, though high, x^ith which to. procure them. ThfluincirTirKOHia ’ The trend in favor of a change was further solidifed and expand ed by the military stalemate in Korea, and by the charges of Ad ministration cities that incompe tent statecraft permitted the war ta break out and indecisive policy accounted for the stalemate and the continuing casualties. And oth er factors conrtbiuted to the public resolve, a major one being fear of the spread of world bolshevism and of the capacity of the Truman Administration to deal with it ef fectively. j adopted the same tactics, j (6) It failed, and with it the hope of the Democrats to extend their twenty-year tenure to twenty-four.! That would have equalled the pe-j riod of Republican escendancy af-\ ter Lincoln’s election in 1860 and have been exceeded only by the Jefferson-Jackson term of Execu tive power which lasted from 1800 to 1848. A large popular mapority just did not believe that-General Eisenhower, whom Democratic leaders, including the Pesident, had sought for their party nominee as late as the end of 1951, had sud- j denly become a man of weak pub lic morality; that the commander who led our forces in World War H, and alone made the hazardous decision not to postpone the Nor mandy invasion because the wea ther turned foul, wsa the faltering uninformed man, vacillating on principle, that the President and Governor Stevenson pictured him to be. Popular Response (7) The psychology for a change at Washington, thus hardened, re sulted in General Eisenhower's election by a popular majority of nearly. 7 million and an electoral vote of 442 to 89. If Kentucky and; Tenessee change columns in the I final count the score will still be 1 441 to 90, and GoVemor Steven- > son will .still be the worst-beaten Democratic candidate since the 'elecfors have” numbered "5317 ex-* cept Alfred E. Smith, who got 37 in 1928. ....... (8) The over-all issues that de termined the result were General Eisenhower’s personality and rec-i ord, and—with special impact in 1 the South—the record of the Tru-1 ] man Administration that the Pres-! ident insisted on making dominant 1 in the Democratic campaign and personally dramatizing. These are the principal expla- 1 nations of Tuesday’s voting that are subscribed to by the group of profesional politicians who were (2) But this popular psychology j consulted.

In a sincere letter of praise for Scalfs Indian River Medicine Mrs. VCrcie Brewer, Route 1, Corbin, Ky., writes: “My husband was kill ed while in the Navy in service of our country and our little boy, Wendell Ray, was killed while de livering newspapers.

This was done when the Re publican National Convention in July nominated General Eisenhow er over Senator Robert A. Taft, long the symbol of the party’s na tional leadership. (4) But the popular decesion could still have been fragmented by a split in the Republican state and local organizations whose es sential task it is to bring out the! more than a bare party majority in Congress demonstrated tljat the Republicans could not have won with any other candidate. Though the comparative totals of the votes received by the Democratic and Republican nominees for Congress further supports the theory, the Stevenson campaign managers al ready are making the claim tha‘ the statistics prove any Republican candidate for President could have won. The claim is natural because it is a defense of the Democratic campaign, its management and Governor Stevenson’s presentation vote, provided the Democratic can- . of the issues. But it challenges a didate for President was a new leader in whose pesonality, char acter and attainments the prospect of reform in Washington was im plicit. The Democratic National Convention, in truly drafting Gov ernor Stevenson, met that part of the problem. But he, the Demo cratic party organization and Pres ident Tuman failed to meet the other part because General Eisen hower united the Republicans forj the campaign. Attack On Eisenhower (5) To unite the Republican party its nominee was obliged to make common cause of his election and that of candidates whose rec ords he opposed in important par ticulars. This led the Democrats to the couuter-attack on General Eisenhower’s moral charcter, to the charges that for the sake of electoral expediency he h|»d cast several principles to the winds and therefore must be assumed to have few. President Truman took the lead in this with a protracted per sonal assault on General Eisen hower’s integrity, without parrallel by a man in M. Truman’s posi tion. Governor Stevenson, first reluctantly and then with a zeal exceeded only by the President’s large and consistent set of facts. HOUSEHOLD HELPS Do your crocheted rag rugs tend to lose their shape?
