More to their liking were the less graphic appeals of Prime Minister Hertzog, Deputy Prime Minister Smuts and henchmen, who declared vaguely for "national and racial unity," asked for support in the name of the "children's future." That South Africa prefers a non-illustrated campaign was evident at the ballot box last week when the United Party rollicked over not only the Nationalists but also over the Anglophile Dominionites and the radical Laborites. The standing...
