The move to encourage modera-

November’s election? Mr. Stevenson’s reasons
to add up to this: "We can do everything better."
He was very vague on how. That can’t be held
against him at this time. This was his first speech after
announcing he wanted to be president. It was just
a general outline of what he'll say later.
It was also pretty much the outline of what the
Democratic party will be saying. There were no sur-
prises. It was pretty much along the lines on which
the Democrats already have indicated they will at-
first ballot — more than any oth-
er candidate — he failed to get a
single vote from eight of the 11
Southern states. These states were
Arkansas. Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi. North Carolina. South Car-
olina, Texas and Virginia.
On the second and third ballots,
Arkansas gave him 1% votes but
the other seven states didn't even
pay him this small courtesy. Ke-
fauver's Southern support /came
from Tennessee's 28 votes; 8 of
Alabama's 22 votes—this total
dropped to 71 on the final bal-
lots; and 5 of Florida's 24 votes.
Kefauver's supporters are hope-
ful that their man again will have
Tennessee's support; and he will
win Florida's preferential primary
to capture all its votes; that Ala-
bama and border-state Kentucky
will line up behind him; and that
other Southerners will discover
that Kefauver is more accentable
to them than any other candidate.
But Kefauver's position in Ten-
nessee is muddled because the
young man sitting in the gover-
nor's chair has national ambitions
of his own. And neither Kefauver
nor Clement has shown any inclin-
ation to step aside for the other.
Kefauver people argue that the
governor can't afford to be in the
position of denying support to a
fellow Tennessean at the national
convention, and that in a final

To the Record-Chronicle:
Each year as Thanksgiving Day approaches, many of our
people pause to give thanks for benefits received.
Bishop Lancelot Andrews, who was one of the translators of
the King James Version, has a list of topics for which he gave
thanks daily. We take it from his private Devotions for Thursday
morning, which seems to have been his weekly Thanksgiving Day.
“O Lord, my Lord, for my being, life, reason; for nurture,
protection, guidance; for country, education, religion; for Thy
gifts of nature, fortune. grace; for redemption, regeneration, in-
struction in sacred truth; for my call from Thee, my repeated
calls; for Thy forbearance. and long suffering after great provo-
cations and numberless times;
"For all blessings received, successes granted, good things
done; for the use of things present; for Thy promise and my hope
of good things to come; for loving parents; for patient and diligent
teachers; benefactors never to be forgotten; congenial companions.
Sincere friends, sociable neighbours;
"For all who have done me good by writings or sermons; by
counsel or examples; prayers, rebukes, or even injuries:
"For all such which I know, which I know not. intended or not
intended, remembered, forgotten. done when I wished or wished
not, I bless Thee and I will bless Thee, I give thanks to Thee and
I will give thanks to Thee."
One is almost bewildered at the breadth and width and height
of such thanksgiving in so brief a prayer, and each earnest Chris-
tian can analyze it for his own life.
So, Thanksgiving Day is an invitation to think, and then to
thank. Count your many blessings, name them one by one. To
write a list might be a rewarding exercise. It will surprise you
what the Lord has done. Be thinkful and you will, in turn, be
thankful.

It was just enough of an outline to show there are
no fundamental differences between the two parties
and that the differences which do exisCare matters of
degree more than of kind.
Mr. Stevenson attacked the Eisenhower administra-
tion’s farm program. On this subject he seems unusual-
ly hazy and, if he has a solution, he has kept it to him-
self.
He was critical of the administration's foreign policy
but did .not indicate specifically what was wrong with
it except to complain there was too much tough talk
and backing away from it.
And — there was no surprise about this — he ac-
cused the Republicans of being the party of “special
interest,” meaning it was too cozy toward big business.
This has been a steady complaint of the Democrats
for generations.
Mr. Stevenson complained — or seemed to be com-
plaining — that this country was not giving enough
foreign aid to nations outside the Communist bloc.
If he pursues this line he may suffer some embarras-
ment in 1956 because it is almost certain his own Dem-
ocrats will try to ram through a tax cut in the election
year.
Cutting taxes means cutting revenue. It is hard to
see how the Democrats could logically call for a boost
in foreign aid if the government has less tax money
to spend on it.
Mr- Stevenson took pains to describe his views as
“moderate,” although anyone who listened to him in
the 1952 campaign must already have reached that
conclusion about him anyway.
Since President Eisenhower is considered a mod-
erate, and is popular in that role, Mr. Stevenson culd
hardly make himself unpopular following the same
line, which also happens to be his natural one any-
way.

erners. The name of Ohio's Gov.

Southerners.
Politicians in Dixie agree gen-
erally that without Eisenhower to
lead the Republican ticket in 1956,
the Republican chances of break-
ing into the South will be immeas-
urably more difficult. The main
reason for this, they say, is that
no other Republican can come
close to matching Eisenhower's
personal popularity with the peo-
ple.
