...announcing his first post-convention results, Gallup pointed out that his figures are fallible, recalling that his average error in national elections is 3.4 percentage points. Nevertheless, the poll is still the best available measurement of the positions just outside the starting gate. Ike's lead should do nothing to inspire overconfidence among Republicans, although it may dispel some recent G.O.P. misgivings...

...rode slowly down the main street in a green Chrysler convertible through crowds that pushed out to shake his hand. In the town's East Side, just across the Missouri-Kansas-Texas R.R. tracks, the motorcade stopped before a cheap, two-story, white clapboard house, whose front gate bears the sign "Eisenhower's Birthplace." At Forest Park, he made a brief, nostalgic talk about his homecoming...
