Za Bat PE I a XeAci5 Sept. 52. - page six cago Tribune suggested the formation of a new party the "American Party", out of the right wing of the Republicense This suggestion, while ignored by most of the press, has nevertheless fallen on fer tile ground and is supported by quite a number of higgly respected persons¢ While this party seems to have no more chance than Henry Wallace's Progressives, it has clearly a nuisance value. It will not partake in the elections this year. But McCormmicks bolt from the Republicans might mean added losses of votes and certainly renders Eisenhowers situation even more difficult in Chicagoland, that is to say Illinois, Wisconsin, parts of Iowa, parts of Indiana and sectors of other Mid—“esterm states, These are then the pros and cons of the campaign as they look at present, They are the background, on which the publie campaigning byradio and oratories is fought. The visible part strikes the public 3 the backgroubd is noteworthy to the observer trying to see the shape of the future.

He has the added advantage of power and ail that it meanse He stands on his own platform, while Eisenhower borrows heavily in the Democratic books And while a decision has not been taken, one thing can be said : Eisenhower can afford no more errorse Stevenson on the other hand can still have a margin of errors. 69.
