A sprawling reminiscence connects figures from Adams to Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr, Jackson, Van Buren and Roosevelt. It recounts Hamilton's pamphlet against Adams, Burr-Hamilton duel, Adams and Jefferson deaths, Jackson’s NY maneuver, and quips about presidents’ quirks and hobbies.
The state of Iowa Linn County notices that Edith L. Hollenbeck’s estate has appointed Merritt as Administratrix on October 3 1956. Creditors are asked to settle debts and file claims with Brashaw Attorney in the Linn County Clerk’s office by required deadlines.
Washington report shows AFL-CIO leaders claim union effort helped keep Congress Democratic despite Eisenhower win. Meany cites labor education as key to GOP Senate losses while noting Eisenhower carried major industrial states. Labor’s role praised in Michigan and several Senate races.
Ohio Senator elect Frank Lausche indicated he may let Democrats organize the Senate without him. He said he would finish his Ohio governorship and decide after he is sworn in, noting Eisenhower's presidency and Senate composition as factors. His absence from the first days could allow quick organization by Democrats.
The text notes at least 49 senators including Lausche, with Republicans at least 46. If the GOP wins Kentucky’s undecided seat, and if 48 Democrats and 47 Republicans are present with Lausche absent, Democrats would hold unquestioned control.
The latest pre election polls from Gallup and Elmo Roper showed Eisenhower around 59.5 percent to 40.5 percent for Stevenson and 5 percent undecided. Returns as of Thursday indicated poll results near the final outcome.
Morning results show Dwight D. Eisenhower with 57.7 percent of the popular vote and Adlai Stevenson with 42.3 percent. The figures suggest a strong lead for Eisenhower as vote counts continue.
