How to Win
Echoing the growing sentiments of many gloomy Midwestern Republicans who are muttering in their bier, Kansas' Republican Senator Andy Schoeppel --who is also chairman of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee--suggested to his party brethren on a TV show that they should steer clear of President Eisenhower and his program if they want to be re-elected in November.
Back came Ike at his press conference last week to remind Schoeppel and his fellow mavericks that more people voted for a victorious Republican President in 1956 than ever before. Apart from proving that presidential support is anything but a handicap, Ike went on to spread the handwriting on the wall in big enough letters for even the most shortsighted GOPoliticians to read. Said he: "We must help to build up countries ... if the tide of Communism is to be checked. We must ... be watchful of the economy. Those are the big things I believe in and ... I would refuse to support any man who didn't believe in them."
