The Citizen presents two editorials printed Monday, illustrating what the paper might have said if the election had produced a different winner. The exercise reflects on the journalists' predictions and the stakes of a presidential race occurring every four years.
The piece weighs the rise of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the presidency of Adlai Stevenson. It urges Stevenson to address Washington’s "mess" and set a firm foreign policy, while urging Ike to maintain strong resolve against communism and govern for all Americans.
The piece argues that Dwight D. Eisenhower embodies decisive leadership the nation seeks amid Korea, rising communism, and controversial foreign and domestic policies. It claims the public wants a forthright president who will craft and execute a bold battle plan against daunting odds, and appreciates his plainspoken appeal and personal integrity.
In a column written before the election, Vardis Fisher condemns Harry S Truman for a demagogic campaign against Dwight D. Eisenhower. He laments the partisan rhetoric touching religion and race and warns of a landened aftermath.
The piece criticizes claims that the American press was against a party and accuses Democratic leaders of using federal staff to campaign. It cites Eisenhower Stevenson travel reporters and highlights alleged intimidation of the press as a step toward dictatorship. It notes Secretary Brannan and under secretary McCormick campaigning for Stevenson.
A diner notes a new sign offering a 40¢ left ham sandwich and a 30¢ right ham sandwich at Bob's Restau rant. Bob laughs off the hoax claim about left and right ham tenderness, saying the shop uses one price and customers are amused by the misdirection.
