INFLATION CATCHES FARMER
JRack in 1947 farmers had a gross in-
scome of 34 billion dollars and a net of 17
billions.
But high costs have caught the farmers.
■Last year their income was almost 33 bil-
lions, but their expenses were almost 21
billions.
This left the farmers a net income of
^slightly more than 11 billion dollars.
The decline in profits was under way
in the Truman administration and the
drop has continued under Eisenhower un-
til there is a real farm problem.
Jt is no wonder that the Republicans are
'worried about\the farin vote. Midwestern
-farmers reelected Truman in 1948 because
they were dissatisfied with the Republican
congress elected in 1943 and its attitude
toward farm legislation.
If the Republicans have to count out
The midwestem farm votes in Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, Dakotas,
"Wisconsin and Minnesota, they could lose
The presidency. i
The Democrats probably won’t sweep
these states, but victory in several would
make a close presidential election.
SO NEAR AND SO FAR
statisticians say that a shift of only
Three in every 100 voters who cast ballots
lor Eisenhower in 1952 would elect Adlai
LStevenson in 1956.
It takes 266 out of 531 electoral votes.
It takes a combination of states to win and
That is why the shift in sentiment is so im-
portant to the candidates.
Four years ago Stevenson lost these
normally Democratic states and their elec-
toral votes: Missouri 13, Oklahoma 8, Ten-
nessee 11, Virginia 12, Florida 10 and
Texas 24. Massachusetts, 16 votes, was
until 1952 a Democratic stronghold. These
Total 94 electoral votes.
Should Stevenson win these states and
The 89 electoral votes which he won in
1952 in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
^Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
-.and South Carolina and West Virginia, he
would be just 83 votes short of victory.
The two blocks total 183 votes. A shift
of three voters in every 100 would give
these 1952 GOP states to the Democrats:
Rhode Island 4, Delaware 3, Pennsylvania
32, Illinois 27, Washington 9, New Mexico
4, Michigan 20, Maryland 9, New York
45 and Connecticut 8.
Iowa has 10, Minnesota 11 and Wiscon-
sin 12 votes. The Democrats are pouring
it on the Benson farm program in those
states. Off hand it would seem that the
Republicans should win with such a pop-
ular president as Eisenhower, but the
Democrats are fighting in 1956. It’ll be in-
teresting to watch election returns the
night of Nov. 6.
TEXANS LINE UP
Price Daniel, Democratic nominee for
governor, definitely came out last week
for Adlai Stevenson for president.
That is an important change for Daniel
who opposed Stevenson in 1952 because
the nominee opposed the Tidelands. As
Stevenson reported he considered the
Tidelands issue closed and he would not
send Federal troops to states to enforce
segregation, Daniel saw no reason why
he should not .support the nominee.
On the other hand. Gov. Allen Shivers,
who led the Texas fight for Eisenhower
in 1952, would not accept Stevenson des-
pite the statements the candidate made.
Shivers has made a good governor, but
his national political alignments have tak-
en away much of his popularity in the
state. One reason this writer has always
liked Gov. Shivers is his frankness about
political issues. This writer has not agreed
with Shivers on his national program, but
admires him for his courage.
Shivers, could have taken the easy way
in 1952 and 1956 and retained his person-
al popularity. But a man has to live -with
his conscience—after he ceases to be gov-
ernor. Shivers made his choice and never
turned back despite criticism from many
old friends.

PLENTY OF MONEY
It looks like both Republicans and Dem-
ocrats will have plenty of campaign mon-
ey No one need talk about how slim
the money tills are on either side.
Both Republicans and Democrats have
wealthy men allied with them. You will
find the Rockefellers, General Motors ex-
ecutives, big oil men, (representatives of
numerous big corporations and wealthy
individuals in the G. O. P. camp such as
H. R. Cullen and H. L. Hunt cFf Texas.
But don’t think that the Democrats are
poverty stricken. Multi-millionaire Senator
Bob Kerr of Oklahoma and his oil mil-
lions, Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Mich-
igan with his domestics millions, Gov. Av-
erell Harriman of New York and his Union
Pacific Railroad millions and others too
numerous to mention are Democratic lead-
ers. . .
The Democrats are smooth in their ap-
peals. Tjhey are talking about wanting
dimes and dollars—tens of thousands of
dollars in small gifts.

On Wednesday, October 3rd, Ford Dealers throughout
the United States will unveil a new kind of automobile!
Cars are involved in every American's life. News of a new kind
of car is the biggest kind of news to millions of Americans.
The Big New Kind of Ford is that kind of news . . .
o car totally new in design from crest to trunk lock.
This completely new automotive package will sell at
the traditionally low Ford prices.
This makes possible a new high standard of such honest-to-
goodness value that it actually increases the purchasing power
of your automobile dollar.
When you see it, other cars will look out of date, because . ::
This is Where Tomorrow Starts . . . with a Big New Kind of Ford!
The New Kind of Ford is the<ullest, most
eloquent expression of Ford's special per-
sonality—the youthful grace, the whiplash
action—and the reputation for durability
known wherever there’s a road.
To all this we have added true elegance
—a kind of elegance never before seen in
the low-price field. To make a car truly
elegant, you must start deep-down inside.
The New Inner Ford
The Inner Ford—the car you cannot see—
is a very remarkable structure. Its frame
is actually a cradle. Side members extend
almost the full body width; they serve not
only as supporting members but as con-
cealed side bumpers of immense strength.
The New Ford Body
The new Ford body is a triumph of engi-
neering in steel. The doors close with the
solid finality of a bank vault. Even the
door-lock button has been moved up
front—easier for you to reach, but out of
the children’s reach.
All these features were engineered to
give you a solid new kind of comfort.
The New Ford Ride
The New Kind of Ford sits six people as
no other low-priced car has ever sat them
—six elbows wide in each seat, with deep
space around each one of six knees. And
above all that space, there’s hat room to
spare for all six passengers.
The 1957 Ford rides low, solid, with a
firm, deep road-holding feel. Yet it’s a.
light-hearted, flight-hearted ride-this car
is responsive, nimble, agile, with a proud
easy movement.
The New Ford Choice
Ford offers not only one, but two sizes of
cars . . . each on its own extended wheel-
base . . . each with its own body shell . . .
each with its own styling.
First, the two Fairlane Series on a 118-
inch wheelbase. The Fairlane 500’s come
in 5 body types, a four-door sedan, a two-
door sedan, a two- and four-door Victoria
with no center pillars, and a convertible
coupe. The same body types (except for
the convertible) are available in the Fair-
lane Series.
Second, two Custom Series mounted on
the 116-inch wheelbase chassis. In the
Custom 300 Series, a four-door and a two-
door sedan are distinguished from the
Custom models by more luxurious inte-
riors and elaborate trim. The Custom
Series also includes a Business Sedan.
Beyond all these, you also have your
choice of five Station Wagons—the famous
glamour cruisers that are the champions
in this fieldl
The New Ford Look
That low, low cradle-span frame means a
low, low car. The Fairlane 500 is only four
feet eight inches from road to roof! The
Custom is just over four feet nine inches!
The new Ford is not only low—but long.
Ford gives you more than 17 feet of ele-
gant length in the Fairlane Series, a shade
less in the Custom. It’s a nice kind of fun
just to look at it. It’s high-priced in every
way except price.
The New Ford Performance
You can have up to 245 wonderful Thun-
derbird horsepower in any Ford model.
There’s a moderate—and really moderate
—extra charge for this engine of 312
cubic inches with its 4-barrel carburetor.
For “Six” lovers, we’ve got the 144-hp
Mileage Maker Six. Whether you choose
Six or V-8, the going is great!
Here is where
your own tomorrow starts
It starts at your Ford Dealer’s showroom!
The cars will be there on Wednesday,
October 3.
These are the best Fords of our lives.
They are the first symbols out of Detroit
of the new automotive age that is begin-
ning for you.
This is where tomorrow starts—at your
Ford Dealer’s.
This is when your tomorrow starts—
October 3rd.
Come in and see us for the Big New Kind of 1 ord!
