Unidentified Campaign Speech

Let ue get away from the peraoaal equation f or a aoaent and assaae that

•A• and •s• are running f or the Pr eaidenoy. •B• ie an aaiable gentleaaa I

without any &dminietratiTe or oon9truotiTe record and a aan whose aeaooiatea

during his whole lif e haTe been ooneidarad of t he ultra-oonserTat1Ta and

old faahi oned type. •B•, in h i e oup&ip, site in an eaey Ohair, al1d fr•

tiae to t1 .. i ssuee etatements i n teras so general that they are construed

in diametrically opposite ways eTen by hie friend&. 1B1 t a lks T&gutly about

patriotiea, about a return to old fashi oned st&ndarde and oond1tione. He

giTes no oonetruotiTe or definite prograa f or the future. He eeeke to &lara

the Toters with pictures of i maginary dangers.

on the other aide is •A•, a younger man t han 1 B1 , one i n t he full tide

of hi s T~or, who has a brilliant record ae a auooeaaful administrator and

exeoutiTe, and has championed many measures des i gned f or the betterment of

social and eoonoalo conditione. •A• apenda hie t1ae going f rom city t o oitr

seeking to inform t he TOter• by word of mouth aa t o what he considers the

true i ssues of t he oaap&lgn. "A" assumes that ninety nine out of a hundred

Toter• are good Americans. He t alks t o their intelleots, not t o their

emotione. •A• speaks of the definite problema which need to be eolTed. He

has a oonstruotiTe progr~ and offers definite reaedi es . He doea not paint

pictures of gloomy disaster. He i nepr ee hope of future d&ya.

Which of theae men would you TOte f or, •A• or "B 1 1 Drive out of your sind
