FOR RESULTS ADVERTISE IN THE ENTERPRISE Oome nations couldn't. And there are people in this country who are trying to push America down the same road. . They don’t speak out for socialism openly—they know most Americans don’t want it. Instead, they give persuasive reasons for the steps that lead to socialism. There’s one clue that will help you recognize this hidden socialism. It’s the old line: “Let the federal government do it—or run it—or take it ovet—or own and operate it.” When you hear that, look out For the more things the federal government Tuns, die closer we are to socialism—whether we want it or not—and die fewer rights and freedoms we have left for ourselves. - America can escape socialism — here’s how you can help: Recognize the steps that lead to it Help your friends and neighbors see the danger. And use your ballot wisely! • "MEET CORLISS ARCHER"— Sundayt—CSS—9 f.M., Mm Ttm *IL*,Na TO BUILD ^ gt ^■ ;--- - - President Harry. Truman crossed up the regular group of reporters who cover his press conferences in Wash ington when he suddenly announced at the Jefferaon-Jackson Day dinner in Washington that he would not be a candidate for renomination this i year. For months Mr. Truman had been telling the reporters who quiz zed him that when he was ready to make an announcement they would be amply warned and given time to get ready for it Yet the President didn't let a single ,soul, other than Mrs. Truman, in on his secret until minutes before he came out with it. Told just before the bomb was thrown was Speaker Sam Rayburn of the House and Texas. Because the President’s mes sage was unexpected and came late at night, reporters who normally would have been on hand to rush tin hottest copy id months # to home papers were either snoozing or else where or, if on hand, unprepared for what came. A significant result of the presi dent exit, which has gone largely un noticed in the press, is the fact that the President’s decision leaves him no way to control doings at Chicago in July. Had the President remained a possible candidate up to the last minute he would have had great in fluence. Now,' with Truman known to be out of it, eyes turn in other directions. There is no tendency to await, a signal from the White House as to support of this or that candi date. The race is wideopen—and out of White House control. It means that the Democratic con vention will be h dog-fight, even more so than the Republican nomination show, which has narrowed down to two men. Five candidates stand out: Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, .who might gain much by the Presi dent’s withdrawal; Senator Richard Russell, of Georgia, who now really gets into the race; Senator Bob Kerr, of Oklahoma, who had said he would suport the President if he ran, and who is now free to campaign; Vice President Alben Barkley, who would like to occupy the White House for a few years as a political climax; and Governor Adlai Stevenson, Truman’s choice, who might give a hint he will accept the nomination, if offered, after the April 8th Illinois primary. The fascinating thing about the developing picture is that while Mr. Truman loses influence in his own party by blowing out, h? gains in statue among the people, the average voter. Thus his influence on the November election will be great, even Nov* Beauty And Glamour v To Your _ Homo VITOIIZIO OU CENTRE Hardware Co. Phone 4646 F’ARMVILLE, N.

In Ike presi dential withdrawal a definite hurdle crowed for the General, who would have had to resign his commission to run agaihst hie Commander-In-Chief had Mr. Truman remained in the race. The idea of running against his Coinmander-in-Ghief never did appeal to Ike much anyhow. That is toe reason he is not President today—he refused to do it in toe Democratic convention in IMS, and; let Mr. Tru man he renominated when he had the nomination in the palm of his hand. Senator Estes Kefauver and Sen ator Russell were both happy with the Truman withdrawal hut Kefauver Stands to gain more than Russell. The Georgian already had most of the solid South in his camp, put Kefauver was having to get his support the hard way—outside the South from the people themselves. Mr. Truman’s cratic nomination scrap some time, after the 8th. He will have presi dential backing and might be the favorite by convention time.
