L_ THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thuntday. July 28, 1960 The Spellbinders Are Still Active Manxhanjres have taken place in the technique* of organized partisan pt>!itics^ These, in large part, have l>een brought about by the enormous improvement in the instruments of communication, both verbal and visual. One thing, however, seems immune to change. The orators at a convention of"either of the great parties still deal only in the blackest of blacks and the whitest of whites with never a grey for contrast. The flam boyant style of the no-holds-barred ap proach. of which the late William Jennings Bryan was perhaps the greatest master, re mains and is carried to millions via the merciless medium of television. Even - vice is invariably attributed to the opposition; everv virtue to one's own followers. Death Of A Free Press One thing dictators can’t stand i.^ a free press. Cuba has provided the world with another tragic example of that truism. One by one the newspapers which were in any way critical of the Castro government have l>een silenced. The latest to suffer this fate was the distingu shed Presna Libre. Be cause of an effort to publish an editorial in which it said that the Castro revolution was employing “the strategy of Goebbels and diaks'tic tactics of communism,” it was ta ken over by its workers, 'who are members of a government-controlled union. Its direc tors took refuge in a foreign embassy. William H. Cowles, president of the Inter- American IVess Association, states: “The confiscation of Presna Libre by the workers of that newspaper means that Fidel Castro has crushed or seized all Cuban newspapers opj>osed to his polici.es or critical of the in creasing communist influence in his rebime.” The last effective voice of protest has been stilled in Cuba. A Look Back Application to Merge ACL Seaboard Filed Richmond, Va.—Formal applica- This, inevitably, happened at the Dem ocratic convention. In the words of Herbert Lundy of the Portland Oregonian, if the speakers are to l>e believed, “it’s a tossup l>etween the Kremlin and Eisenhower Ad ministration for the first rank of villainy." And according to the keynoter, he added. "Ai :erica is in a devil of a fix." While he allowed that the Communists have some thing to do with this, his burden of com plaint is against the’ Republicans. The Republican keynoter and the other speakers, needless to say. will follow’ a simi lar course. They will tell us that a return to a Democratic Administration would result in all ^banner of grave troubles, and even disasters. A good many observers, however, now doubt if the old-time oratory, with all its exaggerations and contradictions, is any where near as effective as it once was. The masses of voters, these observers think, are more sophisticated than their predecessors, more critical, more thoughtful, an^ ( l>etter informed. And the same thing may l>e true of the masses of active, dedicated party workers. A highly experienced television ttmimentator. for example, said that at the Democratic convention he found the majori ty of delegates far more serious in their attitudes than at any of the previous con ventions he had attended. And. as the TV iamera> moved al*out the huge auditorium, it was noticeable that numl*ers of delegates were paying little or no attention to the bl<iod-and-thunder oratory. Actually, it has l**-n many years since party discipline was strong among the rank and file of voters. The straight ticket voter becomes rarer and rarer. More and more voters decide on the basis of their judgment of an individual’s character ami ability, rather than party On both sides of the political feme in the more recent elections old stronghold after old stronghold has been successfully razed by the opposition. Another overriding consideration exists thi- v**ar. Foreign affairs and problems, for the most obvious of reasons, overshadow other issues There is every probability that the world situation will l>ecome still more tense and worrisome by the time November rolls around. If that is the case, the candi date who convinces the majority of voters that he is l»est able to deal with the Com munist threat will win. party laliels aside.
