pace 7 — THE PANHANDLE HERALD
Panhandle, Carson County, Texas—Friday, Nov. 2, 1956
I believe
Note: Rarely in public life has there been a
man of such spiritual strength, wisdom and
integrity. It is interesting, at this time of elec-
tion, to stop and read once more some of the
things our President believes ... and lives by.
/
“Under God, we espouse the cause of freedom and justice
and peace for all peoples.”
“For our country and the world, we seek the establishment of
international relationships characterized by order and justice,
in which reason and truth are respected, under which men can
live as neighbors at peace.”
“America does not prosper unless all Americans prosper.”
“Every citizen owes it to himself and his country to participate
individually, or through a political organization, in making cer-
tain that our country goes in the direction that conforms to his
ideals and hopes for that government — for that country.”
“The individual is of supreme importance.”
“Our military programs must meet the needs of the day. To build
less would expose the nation to aggression. To build excessively,
under the influence of fear, could defeat our purposes and im-
pair or destroy the very freedom and economic system our mili-
tary defenses are designed to protect.”
»
“... defensive forces in America are maintained to defend
a way of life.”
“The best foreign policy is to live our daily lives in honesty,
decency and integrity—at home, making our land a more fitting
habitation for free men; and, abroad, joining with those of like
mind and heart, to make the world a place where all men can
dwell in peace.”
“The purpose of government is to serve, never to dominate.”
“A fundamental belief shines forth in this Republic. We believe
in the worth and dignity of the individual. We know that if we
are to govern ourselves wisely — in the tradition of America —
we must have the opportunity to develop our individual capaci-
ties to the utmost.”
“The spirit of our people is the strength of our nation.”
“. . . we reject Federal domination over state and community,
for we seek to strengthen — not to weaken — the historic self-
reliance of our people.”
“To stay free we must stay strong.”
“Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own in-
difference as it is by the most unscrupulous office seeker or by
the most powerful foreign threat. The future of this Republic
is in the hands of the American voter.”
“To define democracy in one word, we must use the word
cooperation.”
“Our competitive enterprise system depends on the energy of
free human beings, limited by prudent restraints in law, using
free markets to plan, organize and distribute production, and
spurred by the prospect of reward for successful effort.”
VOTE FOR IKE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 — HE IS FOR TEXAS
Adlai Stevenson Said This About Texas:
In a Great Falls, Montana, speech, Stevenson said
the Eisenhower Administration has permitted public
lands to "be invaded by and given away to selfish private
interests."
Then Stevenson quickly reversed his field and said:
"I want a government that will honor its obligations to
generations yet unborn."
The latter is exactly what Ike did when he signed
the bill returning the Texas tidelands. He was honoring
governmental obligations not only to future generations,
but to the present generation.
The Texas tidelands were of great value to us.
dollarwise (as has been proved by the $60,000,000 they
have put in our public school fund since 1953.) But of
even greater importance to Texans were the principles
involved — the principle of state rights, the principle
of moral obligation . . . yes, Senator, the simple, power-
ful principle of integrity.
You see, these submerged lands had been won at
San Jacinto — guaranteed to us by the joint resolution
of annexation to the United States — and the title val-
idated at the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo following
another bloody war. Texans do not take lightly such
milestones of history.
That was shown in 1952, when candidate Adlai
Stevenson told us that he would veto any bill Congress
passed restoring our birthright — just as Harry Truman
had done on two previous occasions.
We also wonder why Senator Lyndon Johnson, in
selecting .seven out-of-state senators to visit Texas and
tell us how to vote, picked five who voted against the
Texas tidelands bill in 1953? Was this another show of
'unity' — more proof that the tidelands issue is 'closed?'
Was it because he thought Texans were so short on sense
and memory that they would not remember.
"Or was it simply a display of the Johnson-Ray-
burn 'power/ to prove to the world that they can lead
Texas voters around by their brass collars regardless?"
