...foreign affairs, Eisenhower has done more than echo the traditions of the New and Fair Deals. When he has personally taken over the duties of Secretary of State, he has been able to take actions that no Democrat, however much he might have wanted to, could have afforded to take. The President accepted a Korean truce on terms that Stevenson, had he been in the White House, would probably have been forced to reject in order to prove to the country that he was a loyal American. The President calmed down the country when the Chinese shot at airplanes...
Cooper's opponent for the Barkley seat is Lawrence Wetherby, also a former Kentucky governor (1950-55). But Wetherby is a lackadaisical campaigner who is also being dogged by his own governor, fellow Democrat and worst enemy, Albert Benjamin ("Happy") Chandler.

...enables a Justice who may not be confirmed by the Senate to participate in vital decisions. The difficulty is compounded in an election year, for should Stevenson win, he is immediately subject to the obvious pressure of allowing Brennan to remain on the bench. Although Brennan is a Democrat, he was, according to legal sources, probably not Stevenson's first choice...
