Nixon, Friday, in Salt Lake City. Speaking to an estimated 1,500 Republican workers gathered at a GOP Rally, Mr. Nixon struck out at the Democrats saying that there was no political issue on which they could campaign in the coming election. An estimated additional 300,000 persons watched the address on television. Democrats can no longer use the recession as a political issue, he stated. The economic comeback will find 1958 being a good year. The American people will find that 1959 vice-preside- nt vice-presiden- ts will be the best by odds in the other matters, history of the United States, he continued. As far as corruption in government, Dwight Eisenhower has had the most honest administration in history,"- said Nixon. Speaking on the Russian Sput-nic- k democrat poscare, a one-tim- e litical issue, the stated that the missle gap was opened by Truman and is tieing closed by Eisenhower." This means that the GOP prospects are better than since 1950," - vice-preside- nt he stated. and that the next three weeks will be decisive ones for the Republican party. When asked about former Republican governor running as an independant against a Republican senatorial candidate, the said that a splinter candidate would draw far less in the actual voting than polls and predictions would indicate. Concerning the farm program, Mr. Nixon said that it is no longer an issue due to the fact that the Benson program has increased farm income 22 per-ceand because there is a higher percentage of farm ownership. Elaborating on Arthur V. Watkins, the vice president said that Watkins knows intimately the problems of the people of his state and vice-preside- nt . nt Speaking at a press conference, the noted that this election, in general, was picking up in tempo at this point He felt that the lateness of public interest was due to the international situation, vice-preside- nt The Utah fights vigorously and effectively for every citizen of Utah. Mr. Nixon also noted that Watkins has made a particularly significant contribution to the development of the strong, firm, foreign policy of the Eisenhower Administration. Mr. Nixon compared Ezra Taft Benson to former president Harry S. Truman . . . noting that they both are fighters fighters for the principles and policies in which they believe. Ezra Taft Benson has set an example which I know our Cabinet officers will follow during this final critical three weeks of the said. campaign," the If all the members of the Presidents Cabinet will fight as effectively and as articulately for their policies as he has fought for his, vice-preside- nt thousands of votes will be shifted from the Democratic to Republican candidates in key House and Senate seats, Mr. Nixon noted. Vice President Nixon left Salt Lake City Friday for Provo where he will address the student body of Brigham Young University. Following his address, the vice president boarded a chartered plane which took him to Washington. An interesting highlight of the rally was the singing of the GOP Work Song by the audience.
