Eisenhower? 00:06:17.001 --> 00:06:17.001 Listen. 00:06:18.001 --> 00:06:23.000 President Eisenhower has brought integrity and honesty back to the White House. 00:06:23.001 --> 00:06:29.001 I'm for Eisenhower because I believe he's the only man in the world of A that can 00:06:29.001 --> 00:06:33.001 talk to the leaders of all of the countries in their language on a 00:06:33.001 --> 00:06:35.000 plane that they'll understand. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.000 I'm a dairy farmer near Des Moines, Iowa. 00:06:38.001 --> 00:06:42.000 I'm going to vote for President Eisenhower because I hope to be farming 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.001 for a number of years myself. 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.000 The President's Program for Agriculture stands for the future and 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.001 not just for day-to-day handouts. 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.000 I want to see President Eisenhower reelected. 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.000 He's brought honesty and integrity to the White 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.001 House, peace and prosperity to our country. 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.000 That's good enough for me. 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.001 I think he feels that the individual American is self-reliant and wants to stand 00:07:06.001 --> 00:07:12.000 on his own feet, work out his own destiny with his hands and his mind, as he best 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.001 sees fit with as little interference from government as he can have. 00:07:17.001 --> 00:07:23.000 Eisenhower strikes me as a fundamentally peaceful man, and I think that he knows 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000 enough about war that he would do practically anything 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.000 honorable to keep us out of it. 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:37.000 I like the President because his personal integrity, I think that the nearest 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:44.000 thing to a statement that he's had in the White House for many years, he 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.000 does have integrity and he has brought confidence to this 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.001 nation and to the world. 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.001 He practices so many things that he believes from his heart. 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:02.001 With that kind of leadership, with the feeling and the aura and the attitude of, 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.001 I'm doing the best I can that comes from him every time you just look at him. 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:14.000 I just can't see anything wrong with the man. Maybe I'm a little pregnant. 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.000 Those were the voices of the people speaking 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.001 about the man they're going to vote for. 00:08:20.001 --> 00:08:21.001 Who will you vote for? 00:08:22.001 --> 00:08:23.001 What's your decision? 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.000 What do you say? 00:08:27.001 --> 00:08:29.000 Me? I like Ike! 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.000 The National Citizens for Eisenhower Nixon have presented this message to all 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.001 thinking voters, regardless of party affiliation. 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:52.001 This year there are 54 million women eligible to vote, two and a half million 00:08:52.001 --> 00:08:56.001 more women than men, enough to decide the whole election. 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.000 And as November 6 draws near, you women are doing a lot of thinking about a 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.001 lot of important things. 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.001 For instance, you're thinking about the cost of living. 00:09:07.001 --> 00:09:12.000 You want to see living expenses stay at a reasonable level. 00:09:12.001 --> 00:09:15.001 You want your family budget to be protected against inflation. 00:09:16.001 --> 00:09:18.001 You're thinking about your family. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:24.000 You want to be as sure as you can that you will all go on living together in our 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.000 present happiness and prosperity, in an America at peace. 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.001 You're thinking about your children's future. 00:09:31.001 --> 00:09:37.000 You want them to grow up under the best possible conditions in terms of schools, 00:09:37.001 --> 00:09:39.001 health and general welfare. 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.001 And because they believe he represents their best hope of achieving these things, 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.001 the women of America are making their choice for president Dwight D. Eisenhower. 00:09:50.001 --> 00:09:54.000 But suppose we ask some of them what they think about the coming election. 00:09:55.001 --> 00:09:59.001 My main reason for voting for Eisenhower is because I believe in his sincerity. 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:06.000 I don't feel that he is furthering his own interests, but he is furthering 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.000 interests of the country and the people. 00:10:08.001 --> 00:10:14.001 I feel he's a very big man, which is needed for that position, and also because 00:10:14.001 --> 00:10:18.001 he has not been and is not what I consider a politician. 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.001 I'm interested in Ike, and this is my one big reason why I'm interested in Ike. 00:10:24.001 --> 00:10:29.001 As a woman and future homemaker and mother in America, the type of man that I 00:10:29.001 --> 00:10:34.001 want to be president is a man that I and my family and my children in those that 00:10:34.001 --> 00:10:36.001 I'm in can look up to and respect. 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.001 I think that President Eisenhower is that sort of man. 00:10:41.001 --> 00:10:46.000 Inflation. We're not going to have that in the next four years if we 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.001 vote right with Ike. 00:10:48.001 --> 00:10:54.001 I'm voting for Ike because I feel that he is a God-fearing man, and I think 00:10:54.001 --> 00:10:58.000 that's essential in any leader, especially the leader of our country. 00:10:59.001 --> 00:11:03.001 I think that Eisenhower has shown how he feels about the average working man. 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.001 He's given us the minimum wage law, the changes he's made in Social Security, and 00:11:10.001 --> 00:11:14.001 I think in another four years he'll do even more than that for us. 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.000 I'm going to vote for President Eisenhower because he represents the things 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.001 in which I believe. 00:11:23.001 --> 00:11:30.000 I like his philosophy of the dignity of man, and I also believe that he is a 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.001 sincere, honest, and high-caliber person. 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:40.000 He has a smile that can prove only one thing, and that is honesty. 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.000 So much of our future rests with the women of our country. 00:11:45.001 --> 00:11:50.000 They are the homemakers. The whole family unit revolves around them. 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:56.000 Everything that affects the family's welfare affects them first, and everything 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.000 in the family's life benefits from their influence. 00:11:59.001 --> 00:12:04.000 They do the family buying. They see that everybody in the family circle is 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.001 well clothed and well fed. 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.001 But beyond this, they are the custodian of its values 00:12:09.001 --> 00:12:11.001 and aspirations for the future. 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.001 In their hands lies the training of our young people, to whom they pass on the 00:12:16.001 --> 00:12:21.000 rich heritage of our nation, its love of peace and justice, 00:12:21.001 --> 00:12:23.000 and its passion for freedom. 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.001 The women of our country swept Dwight D. Eisenhower into office four years ago. 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.001 They will probably decide the election this time, and they like Ike. 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.001 And here's somebody else they like, too. 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:44.001 Ike's beloved Mamie, whose smile and modesty and easy natural charm make 00:12:44.001 --> 00:12:46.000 her the ideal First Lady. 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.001 Let's keep our First Lady in the White House for four more years. 00:12:58.001 --> 00:13:03.000 The National Citizens for Eisenhower Nixon have presented this message to all 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.000 thinking voters, regardless of party affiliation. 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.000 It's cooked all the time, and every Saturday afternoon in stadiums all over the 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.001 country, you'll see young men, like this one, watching 00:13:27.001 --> 00:13:29.000 the games and enjoying themselves. 00:13:31.001 --> 00:13:34.001 But four years ago, it was a different story. 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:42.001 Four years ago, many of our young men were on Heartbreak Ridge in Korea, and that 00:13:42.001 --> 00:13:49.001 was no game, but vicious, grinding war that went on and on as if forever. 00:13:50.001 --> 00:13:54.000 Of course, today it's all over, and the young men are trying to forget. 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.000 But for one day this year, they'll remember. 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:04.001 And that one day is Election Day, November 6th, when not only these young men, 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.001 but Americans of all ages, will be thinking long and hard about how to vote for 00:14:09.001 --> 00:14:13.000 the surest road to peace during the next four years. 00:14:14.001 --> 00:14:16.000 What are some of their thoughts? 00:14:17.001 --> 00:14:22.001 I am engaged this time, and I'm planning to get married, and I don't want to look 00:14:22.001 --> 00:14:24.001 forward to military service in war. 00:14:25.001 --> 00:14:30.000 I want my children to grow up in a country that's in peace. I think that 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.000 Ike is a man that can do this for us. 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.001 I will vote for President Eisenhower because I am the mother of three children, 00:14:37.001 --> 00:14:42.000 and I feel with President Eisenhower, in command of our country, I can raise 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.000 my children with great security. 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.001 I'm going to vote for Ike because of his outstanding record in the past four 00:14:48.001 --> 00:14:52.001 years, and because I believe through the Republican administration we will have 00:14:52.001 --> 00:14:56.001 peace and prosperity for my children to grow up for at least the next 20 years. 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.001 I served four and a half years in the United States Army Air Forces, and am a 00:15:03.001 --> 00:15:10.000 great admirer of President Eisenhower in what he did during the war in leading us 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:16.000 to victory, and what he is now doing to lead us to peace and to hold 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.001 the peace of this world. 00:15:18.001 --> 00:15:22.001 I have an 18-year-old son, and I am so grateful to Eisenhower for giving 00:15:22.001 --> 00:15:24.000 him an uninterrupted education. 00:15:24.001 --> 00:15:29.001 So many of the boys and his friends were sent to Korea in a war that 00:15:29.001 --> 00:15:31.001 had no successful conclusion. 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.001 All over the country, young men and their parents are asking, can we gamble 00:15:38.001 --> 00:15:40.001 when the stakes are so high? 00:15:41.001 --> 00:15:46.001 Can we dismiss the man who has kept us at peace and take a chance on a man 00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:51.000 untried and inexperienced in international negotiations and world problems? 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:57.001 Now what do you say? Are you willing to bet everything you love and hold dear 00:15:57.001 --> 00:16:01.000 that Stevenson can also keep us out of war? 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:08.001 Are you that sure of it? Remember, this peace we've grown so 00:16:08.001 --> 00:16:12.000 used to didn't come to us as a gift. 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:19.000 Four years ago, you did something about it. You registered, and you 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.001 voted Ike Eisenhower into office. 00:16:21.001 --> 00:16:28.000 Now let's keep him there. Ask yourself, is this the time to change with 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.001 wars simmering all around the world? 00:16:30.001 --> 00:16:36.001 During the past four years, President Eisenhower has kept this black headline off 00:16:36.001 --> 00:16:43.000 the front pages of our newspapers, because he knows at first hand the terror and 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.001 misery of war, as he has said. 00:16:47.001 --> 00:16:52.000 We witness today in the power of nuclear weapons a new and deadly dimension 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.001 to the ancient horror of war. 00:16:55.001 --> 00:17:00.000 Humanity is now achieved for the first time in its history, the power 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.001 to end its history. 00:17:01.001 --> 00:17:06.000 This truth must guide our everyday. It makes world disarmament 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.000 a necessity of world life. 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:15.001 For I repeat again this simple declaration. The only way to win World War III 00:17:15.001 --> 00:17:17.000 is to prevent it. 00:17:19.001 --> 00:17:25.000 The National Citizens for Eisenhower Nixon have presented this message to all 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.001 thinking voters, regardless of party affiliation.
