fondness for the draft and any
thing . associated with it.
But,., more than the military
stigma,' Stevenson has the basic
appeal to the intellectual which
Ike definitely lacks. Stevenson,
not Eisenhower, begins his speech
es with quotations from Shakes
peare, Aristotle, and other phil
osophers. It is not hard to imagine
that college students, especially
students in the semi-literary field
of news writing, would be favor
able to this approach.
It remains to be seen, never
theless, whether this.- appeal to
the intellect will achieve any type
of success for the Governor. Ei
senhower backers do not try to
pass off the General as an intel
lectual—in fact, he himself has
said he doesn’t know everything
about a lot of issues.
They do maintain that Eisen
hower will appeal to more Ameri
cans than Stevenson for other rea
sons than specific knowledge. The
country needs a real leader and
a striking personality more than
a political wizard, they argue.
And, the fact remains that thou
sands of persons all over the Uni
ted States have been accepting
Ike on that basis.
It isn’t what he knows, they
say, it’s what he can do.
