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

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

doubts that included (a) a lack operatic candidate carried only nine

“Grief Caused Loss of Appe*

Blood. Felt Weak, Nervous,
and Rundown. Scalfs Indian
River Medicine Proved Its
Wonderful Worth When I
Needed Help,” Declares Mrs.
Brewer. Tells of Case.
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. My grief was
so great that naturally I couldn’t
eat or digest my food properly for
some time and as a result I felt
weak, nervous, and rundown, and
was told I had low blood. Scalfs
Indian River Medicine proved a
blessing to me in this time of great
need, for it helped me to regain
my appetite and to better digest
my food. I am feeling fine now
and have regained five pounds of
needed weight.
“After Scalfs Indian River Med
icine helped me so much I decided
to give it to my little daughter,
Phyllis Ann, because the child had
no appetite and naturally lacked
weight and pep. I heartily praise
Chalfs Indian River Medicine for
what it has done forjboth my little
girl and for me. May God bless
>ou that you may sell many, many
more bottles of Scalfs Indian Riv
er Medicine.”

Federal establishment. i* so great a popular majority for
^ i General Eisenhower to give him
(3) To remove these checks on)
the sweeping desire for a change
that arose many months ago it was
necessary for the opposition to
choose a new leader of shining rep
utation and known to all the peo
ple. 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.
