Hurrah for Dick Nixon! I have wondered low long this Democrat hogwash about the 'little man" would go unchallenged. There is no such thing as a little American. Most of us are small businessmen or wage earners. We may not have as much money as Stevenson or Harriman, but we can bet our bottom dollar that they are not planning on dividing affairs with...

Segregation, discrimination and prejudice have no place in America...
...Baltimore one night later the Vice President returned angrily to the political fray, renewed attacks on Adlai Stevenson. At week's end, after eleven days and 14 states, Nixon arrived in Washington for 48 hours' rest before a final campaign assignment: one more sweep of the U.S. lasting right down to Election...
