Convention Comparisons
Democrats 'Duller', GOP
'Zippier' Than Expected
CHICAGO (4 3 ) This Republican convention has
trudged on long enough now to compare it with the Demo
ratic show two weeks ago, and it lines up like this:
The Democrats were a little duller than expected, for
that grand fight to stop Sen. John F. Kennedy petered out
without anyone laying a glove on him.
The Republicans, who never ex
pected any fuss, have been a lit
tle zippier than anticipated.
What you have preferred prob
ably depends on_which party you
like.
But both have struggled hard
to keep things moving. Maybe a
little too hard.
So in Los Angeles Democrats
kept hammering away about
how these are the timer. that
demand political greatness,
whereupon we would get a
chance to see a Hollywood star.
And the Republicans, about to
present the soon-to-retire presi
dent of the United States, had a
lady whose voice was high and
whose neckline was low, sing:
"After You've Gone."
It's the President who has been
the real show stopper so far.
Who could have foreseen that
Dwight D. Eisenhower would be
given such a wild and warm wel
come to Chicago? .
Naturally the key figure all
week has been the heir-apparent,
Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
Nixon has promised he will he
the hardest working candidate in
history, and his start here indi
cates he will live up to it.
He shakes hands constantly,
talks to delegates constantly,
gives interviews constantly.

this accessibility is wonderful.
From his own viewpoint, it may
not be so good.
There's a limit to what any
man has to say that is fresh. Lis
tening to Nixon talk, talk, talk,
it's obvious he can do little but
repeat himself.
Worse, as he himself once said,
when he becomes tired, he has
trouble winding up an answer.
and like anyone else in such con
ditions. has a tendency to ramble.
During one interview Nixon said
cheerfully: "We wouldn't feel at
home without a mike in front of
us."
The intimate touches that the
modern approach brings may
add something to the story.
Would you like to know what
Nixon had to. say when he met
with Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York?
Nixon beamed broadly and said:
"Well. I see we both have on
those light suits today."
Republicans are agreed on .al
most everything in Chicago, in
cluding the proper sartorial
equipment.
The first transcontinental airplane
flight was made by C. P. Rodgers
in 1911. from New York to Pasa
dena, Calif. He stopped en route
to refuel.
