Desperation in Democratic Drive Amid Election Promises
The article depicts a near panic in the Democratic ranks as 1956 election prompts sweeping promises from candidates and party speakers. It notes Adlai Stevenson’s pledge to end universal conscription and to halt nuclear weapon work, while contrasting with Republican views and warning of harm to U.S. prestige. Noting Missouri politics, it mentions Blair and the lieutenant governor’s actions, and argues for Douglas as a strong U.S. Senate candidate turning to outstate Missouri concerns.
