They might not like what they heard, but I could tell them some things they don't hear often enough and that they ought to know. For one thing, I could quote them words of Lincoln that the Republicans don't use very often. For example, Lincoln said, "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present ... as our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." How many Republican Lincoln Day speakers quoted that this year? Or were they talking about the balanced budget and that alone? Our revered Civil War President also said: "There are already among us those who, if the Union be preserved, will live to see it contain two hun-dred and fifty millions of popu-lation. The struggle of today is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future also." Lincoln ' thought and planned not only FRANK E. MOSS U. S. Senator In a speech delivered at the Jefferson-Jackso- n Day dinner in : Conrad, Montana, this week, Utah's Democratic Sen. Frank E. (Ted) Moss reminded Repub-licans of some of the things which Lincoln said but which never are brought up at the GOP Lincoln Day dinners. In his address Mr. Moss said: For a new Senator, Washing-ton has many surprises, most of them pleasant. My biggest sur-- I prise, however, and I think I can claim as exclusive on this one fcr the present but for the great ...... future which he saw for this country. And it is no accident that those we honor today predate Lincoln by many years; and no accident that our party is so much older than the Republican party. For, if there is one thing that is neces-sary to the survival of any or-ganization or institution, it is just this ability to "think anew and act anew" when conditions reauire it. was to be asked to address Lin-coln Day, as well as Jefferson-Jackso- n dinners. One of the first pieces of mail I opened was from Republican National Chairman Mead Alcorn, requesting my preferences as to places to de-liver Lincoln Day speeches. And actually, I should like the I object to conservatives wrap-ping themselves in the mantle of Jefferson as much as I do the mantle of Lincoln. The conserva-tives of Jefferson's day were not those who signed the Declaration of Independence or helped con- - (Continued on Page 8) Demo Vice Presidential Speculation Falls On Ohio's Governor OiSalle Democratic party leaders, con-centrating on possible presiden-tial candidates in 1960, also have been casting about for a likely vice presidential candidate. And some of those in the know are predicting that Gov.' Mi-chael V. DiSalle of Ohio mighi be the man. Gov. DiSalle has been a sup-porter of Adlai E. Stevenson in past conventions. And insiders expect to find him backing Ste-venson again if there appears the slightest chance the twice de-feated Democratic standard bearer has a chance to win the election. If Stevenson were to be nomi-nated, DiSalle, a Roman Catholic, would likely be his running mate, these experts reason. Much will depend on the Los Angeles convention feeling on running any Roman Catholic for president or vice president. It might decide to stick with a strictly protestant ticket. On the other hand if it is de-cided that a Roman Catholic might actually strengthen the ticket and enhance prospects of winning then Gov. DiSalle would loom more and more as the one who could get the vice presi-dential nomination. In order to be in a position to gain the vice presidential bid he must first capture Ohio's "Favorite Son" endorsement and this is noa ex-pected to be hard for the gover-nor to obtain. Gov. DiSalle has a record of administrative success including that of price administrator un-der former President Harry S. Truman and as mayor of Toledo, Ohio. The governor himself, accord-ing to the Christian Science Monitor, is saying nothing about such aspirations himself. He is reported to reason this way, however. In the end, the Democrats, sniffing victory for the first time in eight years, will not dare run a Catholic namely Sen. John Kennedy for the presidency. But they might take a chance on the second spot and Sen. Kennedy is not expected to want that. Gov. DiSalle is in the excel-lent position of having friends among the new bloods of the party and the old guard such as former President Truman. He also is friendly with Democratic National Chairman Paul M. But-ler. As governor, he faces none, of the hazards which face other likely candidates, such as Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Stuart Symington and Sen. Hubert Humphrey, who must almost daily stand up and take a stand on some national issue or other. Utah Young Demos Chart-- Convention In St. George ' ;' f - Howe, State Young Democratic President of Salt Lake City.

TODAY'S a EDITORIAL Is Truth Told About Fallout? Is the present Republican dominated government telling the public the truth about atomic fallout? The question crops up regularly only to be quieted again when Atomic Energy Commission members get up and swear they are telling all. The vital question is with us once more, brought on by recent publication of Department of Defense and Atomic Energy Commission Studies which bring to light a much heavier rate of fallout than had previously been officially estimated. Here in Utah, where we are next door to one of the nation's major atomic testing grounds in Nevada, the question of fallout has special urgency. It is the duty of government to protect its citizens. It begins to appear the Republican administration is not living up to this duty. (Continued on Page Four) |
