Stevenson , he came from a distinguished family in Illinois and was well known as a gifted orator, intellectual, and political moderate. Adlai Stevenson for his part would have nothing to do with television at all and condemned Eisenhower's use of the medium, calling it "selling the presidency like cereal". North Dakota. While there are no shortage of books about Eisenhower or his years as president, nearly seven decades after his election there are only two histories about it. Incumbent Democratic President Harry S. Draft Eisenhower movements had emerged ahead of the election , mostly in the Democratic Party ; in July , Truman offered to run as Eisenhower's running mate on the Democratic ticket if Douglas MacArthur won the Republican nomination. He himself made a point of the fact that he did not own a TV or watch television, and many of his inner circle did likewise. Stevenson did not win a single state north of the Mason—Dixon line or west of Arkansas, whilst Eisenhower took three Southern states that the Republicans had won only once since Reconstruction : Virginia, Florida, and Texas. Some time next June, ask me, ask me again, ask me, ask me again. The fight for the Republican nomination was between General Dwight D. Eisenhower campaigned by attacking "Korea, Communism, and Corruption"—that is, what the Republicans regarded as the failures of the outgoing Truman administration to deal with these issues.

Thanks to his willingness to revisit his earlier conclusions, Greene provides his readers with something far more than just an updating of his previous work on the election but a through and open-minded examination of the contest. Third party and independent candidates. Although he believed that he would win the presidency more easily and with a larger congressional majority as a Democrat, Eisenhower believed that the Truman administration had become corrupt and that the next president would have to reform the government without having to defend past policies.

Though Stevenson went on to run a dignified campaign notable for his learned and polished speeches, Greene argues that in the end no Democrat could have triumphed that year against the twin factors of national dissatisfaction with the Truman administration and Eisenhower's enormous popularity with the American people, with the events of the campaign itself largely anticlimactic in terms of deciding its outcome.

I Like Ike is a compelling account of how an America fearful of a Communist threat elected a war hero and brought an end to twenty years of Democrat control of the White House. When asked, he replied that he assumed the convention would pick someone. For this reason, Dewey himself declined the notion of a third run for president, even though he still had a large amount of support within the party.

Yet, it i3 not un-American. Indeed, as this work by the Editor of the WEEKLY PEOPLE shows, the principles and aim of the genuine So- cialist movement are in complete harmony with the forward-looking traditions estab- lished by the rebels of 1776. Revolt against the tyranny of a foreign ruling class was American. Loyalty to a foreign king was un-American. Even the rcactionists of the present day are forced to admit that-in order to prove their "Americanism." 8Similarly, the Socialist demand for the end of modern capitalist despotism is American. The times call for it. The needs of the working class majority demand it. The threat of civilization's collapse makes it imperative. Read this pamphlet. It refutes a host of lies spread by the capitalists. It demon- strates that Socialist Industrial Unionism is the bearer of new freedom for the Amer- ican people.

    Fascism is Still a Menace! By Eric Hass Published Online by Socialist Labor Party of America www.slp.org June 2006 PUBLISHING HISTORY PRINTED EDITION .................................. December 1948 ONLINE EDITION ............................................ June 2006 NEW YORK LABOR NEWS P.O. BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm Foreword The title of this pamphlet, “Fascism is Still a Menace,” may be somewhat confusing to the superficial reader to whom fascism merely means the brutal dictatorships of which Hitler and Mussolini were the outstanding symbols. The popular conception of fascism is that it is a creation of evil, power-drunk men, and that it can be done away with by destroying the evil men. Hitler and Mussolini are destroyed — the particular despotisms symbolized by them are crushed, gone, as if they had never been. Yet, fascism is rampant in the modern world. Fascism, Nazism, call it what you will, is not the reflex of wicked, brutal and power- drunk individuals. Rather, it is the reflex of a dying social system, a system of society that can no longer operate under the old laws and rules normal to its existence. Fascism, in its recent and current manifestation, represents the almost instinctive effort of a society in a state of social dissolution to ward off social anarchy and complete social disintegration. Capitalism has long since reached the end of its normal development. Technologically it prepared society for the classless, stateless Socialist society of production for use. It has pointed the way to the transition from rotten-ripe, chaotic capitalism to the sane new order of Socialism; it organized the workers into industrial battalions, trained and drilled them for the exercise of industrial self- government, and laid the foundation and supplied the framework of the Socialist Industrial Republic.
