DAILY SIKESTON STANDARD Published Daily Except Sunday VOLUME 44 SIKESTON, SCOTT COUNTY, MISSOURI, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1956NUMBER 302 Demos Smile In Wake of GOP Setback Stevenson Sees Maine Election as Sign of The National Trend By The Associated Democratic leaders wore optimistic prcsidential-vear smiles today in the wake of surprising Republican setbacks in a Maine election.

Maine voters gave Democratic Gov. Edmund S. Muskie an almost unprecedented second term by 1he biggest margin ever given a governor. They also put a Democrat in at least one of the three seats long held by Republican congressmen. The margin in a second congressional race was so Democrat trailing by 72 votes out of 116.000 the results may not be known until the official tabulation is completed.

Even before the congressional outcomes were known last Stevenson hailed the reelection of Muskie as a sign that national trend to the Democrats is still gaining momentum presidential campaign manager. James Finnegan, said the Maine vote was the more remarkable in view of the way the Republicans made this a test of President popularity and influence with the Primary Elections Eight primary elections also arc on tap for today in Wisconsin. Minnesota. Colorado, Utah, Washington. Arizona, Vermont and Hampshire.

All seemed certain to draw conflicting interpretations of the 1956 political trend.itriet Governor K. Q.

Smith was taken to the Missouri Delta Community Hospital and then transferred to St. Louis. I gave the principal address. Mr. Follin.

who has given inspirational talks at Mexico City. Atlantic City and other large gatherings of Ro- jtarians, stressed the importance keeping Rotary simple, of more in Rotarians. and more understanding of Rotary. His discussion of the' importance of putting service above self, accompanied jb.v specific examples, was well re- 1 reived, and at the conclusion, he was especially honored by a standing ovation. DEMOCRATS NEED A BIG SWING Statistically speaking, the Democrats have a very formidable chore if they are to upset the Eisenhovver-Nixon vote collection of 1952 sufficiently to elect the Stevenson-Kefauver ticket in 1956.

They pan begin that task with forecasts of considerable logic that they will regain the three Southern states they lost to the Republicans four years ago. Florida, Texas and Virginia are less disturbed about the Democratic civil rights plank this year than they were four years ago. and it would be reasonable to expect them to return to the party fold, satisfied with the Stevenson npproach. Next come the five Border states which were in the hovver-Nixon column last Oklahoma, Tennessee, Maryland and Delaware. The Democrats figure they will get them back for the same reasons that they expect the return of the defecting South.

Their reasoning here has a tinge of hope, in it, but the hopes could very well come true. The Southern states and ihe Border states, going Democratic, would give ihe Democrats 90 votes, and, consequently take an equal number away from the Republican total of four years ago. That would still leave the Eisenhower ticket far ahead, 352 electoral volt's to 178. Then the Democratic statisticians turn next to the states in which the Republican national ticket received less than 55 per cent of the 1952 close states. There are five of Illinois.

Massachustts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington. They have, among them, a total of 88 electoral votes. If Stevenson-Kcfauver surge should take all of them away from the Republicans and add them to the Democratic total, the Democrats would win by a narrow 267-264 margin. The figures illustrate the magnitude of the Democratic but they also point up the of ways the Republicans could lose in 1956, just like they did in 1948. One of the main Democratic hopes is ihat dissatisfactoin in the ranks of farmers will enable ihe Democrats to run better in nearly every state this year than they did four years ago, bui of the five less-than-55-per-cent states, only one, Washington, has a rural population of more than one-third its total, so the Democrats probably would have to look to than the farm vote to swing them.

The Democrats certainly will look to the labor vote in such states as Illinois, Pennsylvania, with good reason. They probably are going to get a lift in endorsement of Stevenson-Kclauver by the newlv-mergcd CIO-AFL, but the question always remains as to how well any organization, labor, farm, religious or other, can deliver its votes. Americans siili are individualists, most of Ihem vote their own thinking rather than ihat of the organization to which they belong. And it al! adds vip lo the need, on both sides, for an intensive scouring of ihe country for votes this Fall. The Democrats already have made a living start, and the if they are publicly looking down their respective noses at Ihe early scurrying of the letting no grass grow undei their feel.

Daily Tribune WHAT IKE DID To the Editor: Globe Democrat Four years ago Ike promised a Great Crusade in Washington. After he took office the so-called five-percenters went out the back door and the millionaire grafters entered the front. Ike promised the farmers better prosperity than ever before. Well, tanners, how about it? Ike promised the housewives a cheaper cost of liv ing, day by da prices arc rising. Ike promised the Reds got what Ike is still dwindling away our national deten our future security.

As a veteran of World War IL I listened with disgust speaker during the GOP convention tried to slress done for the veterans. All Ike ever done was Veterans Hospitals throughout the country. I predict the American public will sweep inlo office Stevenson and Kefauver and throw out the Eisenhower-Nixon. Duiles-Wil- son. Hall and Hagertv machine.

Big Business had four years of GOP glory. Now it is time for the working man. fanners, white- collar workers, and small business-man to get the recognition that the GOP always failed to give them. Wnv. J.

Then the offensive moves ahead again. And again the defense follows. That has been happening in civil defense. In its early phases, the Federal Civil Defense Administration proposed taking the nearest shelter as the best means of protection against a possible enemy attack. Then the power of atomic and nuclear weapons was increased until it became evident that no existing structure in 1he heart of a1 The ICBM.

Then pre-attack evacuation, in combination with shelter for those far enough removed from assumed aiming points for enemy attack, emerged as the method most likely to save the maximum number of lives. Now, a new threat the intercontinental ballistic missile is just beginning to rasl its menacing shadow. Our military exports tell us that no nation has yet developed the ICBM.
