The Campaign

Pin-Pricked Pachyderm

Mr. Eisenhower opened the Presidential season by playing golf. Mr. Stevenson played “working politics” in a whirlwind tour of 34 states. By the end of the Labor Day holiday, the Democratic machine was rolling in high gear. The Republican High Command planned to get under way about mid-September. Mr. Eisenhower, like Aesop’s hare, didn’t expect to do any strenuous running.
