A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
*ORt*
No Dancing in the Streets
We doubt that America is at this moment in any
“Victory Parade” mood. Over the nation, Election 'Day
of 1956 was one of sober reflection. Americans found
themselves in a freshly bleeding world, beset not only
by the perils to which we have grown accustomed but
by new ones that gravely threaten ancient alliances
and fundamental national policy.
In such a storm-tossed world, the only sane course
was to steady the helm, to keep the same skipper and
his mates on the bridge. To change the watch at such
a time could only have brought new confusions. Thus,
whatever we haye thought of the past performance of
the Administration, of the party platforms and their
remarkable similarity, the resultant poverty of cam
tpaign issues and the nation’s steady drift leftward
away from constitutional government and the sover
eign rights of the states, it is clearly for the best that
President Eisenhower has been re-elected. And it is
clearly the duty of all Americans to rally behind him
in this hourt when our hopes of international under
standing and world peace are crashing about our ears.
This is our “morning after.’’ And the best that can
be said of it is that the electioneering is over.

Stevenson Takes
Crushing Defeat
With a Smile
CHICAGO, tin—Adlai E. Ste
venson took his second crushing
defeat at the hands of Dwight D.
Eisenhower today with a smile on
his face and a quip on his lips.
It wasn’t that it didn’t hurt—he
frankly confessed his disappoint
ment before a nationwide TV
audience—but you could tell he
had known for days how it would
all turn out.
But, he told hundreds of dis
heartened Stevenson volunteers
jammed into the big Hotel Con
rad Hilton ballroom—and millions
who watched on their TV sets—
“our cause will ultimately pre
vail.”
Would he try for the presidency
again?
I’m a candidate for bed,” he re
sponded lightly to the reporter’s
query. '
His more formal note was
sounded shortly after midnight
when he left his suite at the Sher
aton-Blackstone Hotel and walked
across the street to the Conrad
Hilton to tell hundeds of mourn
ful followers:
"To you who are disappointed
tonight, let me confess that I am,
too. But we must not be disheart
ened, for ‘there is radiance and
glory in the darkness, could we
but see, and to see, we have only
to look’.”
A burst of applause welled up
over the ballroom. Women wept
openly. Men got out their hand
kerchiefs and blew their noses
furiously.
