...Given the advantage of the worst Republican Vice President in years," blathers Frank Jeter Jr. in your Sept. 10 Letters column. As a college senior with a profound interest in political science, I want to know just precisely what Jeter Jr. believes is so completely nix about Nixon? Exclusive of Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower, I doubt if anyone in this entire nation knows more about the complex functions of the Federal Government than our young V.P. He has had more solid experience in the past four years, more grass-roots on-the-job training for the presidency than any other...
...fresh rhythms of the galloping campaign. Supporters of both parties were eager to be sold, and so were the independents. In many big cities, where voter registration was completed or still continuing, the totals foretold a bigger turnout in November than ever before-and therein lay a Republican sore point. For although figures were significantly higher for both Republicans and Democrats, the Democratic Party strength was increasing in many critical areas faster than the Republican.

He could not stand being "nonpolitical" any longer, he told them, adding high praise and re-election plugs for Governor Leo A. Hoegh and Senator Bourke Hickenlooper...
Natural Resources. Republican "giveaways" must be stopped, and the policies of conservation "which were in effect for years before the Eisenhower Administration" must be restored. Watersheds, public lands, national forests and parks, minerals and the soil must all be protected more rigorously against those who would exploit them. "This administration," said Adlai at Denver, "shows tender solicitude for the great private corporations but thoughtless disregard for the public's property, our public forests, our public lands, our national parks and our precious resources...
