...solemnly to salute the colors of a high-school band. Nowhere was there a hail-the-conquering-hero quality to the welcome; everywhere the setting was warm, relaxed, assured, befitting the national mood that the President, more than anyone else, has created.

After Ike's blue-ribbon endorsement (the warmest of the campaign to date), things looked somewhat brighter for Jim Duff, who has never yet lost an election.
