In 1948 Humphrey ran for the Senate on a platform supporting President Truman’s "Fair Deal” program when other Democrats felt there would be a nationwide rebuttal to the Truman Administration.
Ever since he went into politics in Minnesota, Humphrey has worked to unite the state Democratic Party with the local Far-mer-Labor Party, a movement growing out of the old Populist Party. The Populist Party attempted to unite the farmer and the worker against the large corporations just before the turn of the present century.

★ It s Time to Quit
If Ike knows what's good for him, he won't run for re-election.
The President’s job has been correctly called a killing one. Political observers estimate that the presidency lakes from 5 to 10 years off a man’s life. In fact, Americans watched FDR die practically before tiheir eyes as a result of the terrible strain imposed by his position.
Eisenhower will be 65 Oct. 14. If he runs for another term and completes it, he will be 70, th.e oldest man to occupy the presidency.
It’s widely known among professional politicians that Eisenhower's wife and son have urged him not to run again. The Eisenhowers are even building a house in Gettysburg for their retirement.
Although Republicans will probably ask 'him to run if he’s well enough, he’d be a fool to do so. The question is how long can a man go on serving his country actively wh.en his health is in danger.
Eisenhower is better off alive than as a dead martyr. He could continue to serve in an advisory capacity, especially to the military branches.
The time is poor for the Republican Party to lose its best candidate in 27 years. The Gallup polls consistently indicate that Ike is unbeatable. Still, if he did run again, many voters would be apprehensive about his age and health. Heart attacks are often followed by others. At least they warn individuals to slow down.
The time is opportune for Eisenhower to quit the high-pitched political scene. His prestige is at its height. He was a war hero. He is popular among Republicans, Democrats, and independents for his domination of the scene at Geneva. He has made few polHical enemies because he thas left most of the political muckraking to Nixon. Ike seems to have emerged relatively undamaged by the Dixon-Yates controversy. The public, except for the farm population, is happy about the nation's prosperity.
It's a good time for him to refuse the nomination and say, “I’ve done my duty.”

Ike s Illness Gives GOP Novel Dilema
by Wes (in-gory
President Eisenhower's current illness "poses an entirely novel political problem for the Republican Party strategists,” Dr. Tot-ton J. Anderson, associate professor of political science, said yesterday.
Deviating from his lecture, Dr. Anderson told his introduction to political scicnce class that Ike's illness presents a "situation which is made to order for the Democratic Party."
Assuming that Ike will not run, Dr, Anderson said that the Democrats will probably have an even chance to regain the Presidency since they won't have to contend with Ike's popularity.
He added that since the Republican high command assumed Ike would run again, the San Francisco convention may turn into a "real political Donnybrook” if the President's health prevents him from running.
If Ike doesn’t run, “the leading Republican candidates would be Chief Justice Earl Warren; Vice President Richard Nixon; and Secretary of Disarmament Harold Stassen," Anderson said.
Three top Democrats, Governor Averell Harriman; Senator Ke-fauver; and former candidate Adlai Stevenson will probably seek that party’s nomination.
If Nixon were to run right now, according to Dr. AndersOn, any one of these three would probably beat him. Stevenson would probably beat Stassen, while Warren has the liest chance of winning over any of the three Democratic candidates — if he were to run at this time.
The Republicans have two courses of action which they must follow, according to Dr. Anderson. First, as a minority party in total voting strength, they must get support from the so-called independent voters and the “wavering Democrats” who voted for Eisenhower last election. Then, the party must cement together its “right” and “left” wings.
Segregation 1.lability
Dr. Anderson contends that Warren, with his unusual record of bi-partisan political support, and his political philosophy so closely paralleling Eisenhower's, is the best candidate ol the three he named.
"Of course, on the other side, Warren's greatest liability could
Succession Act Inadequate In Presidential Disability Dr. Anderson Contends

Shades of '29 Hits Wall Street As Prices Drop
By llnltiwl Press
NEW YORK — The sharpest price drop since the record Wall Street crash in 1929 hit the New York Stock Exchange yesterday in a wave of "emotional" sailing caused by President Eisenhower's illness.
Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey immediately issued a statement designed to counter history's second largest market break. He said Mr. Eisenhower's illness was a “cause for sadness, but not of alarm."

Though Ike practically made a 'political project” out of building Nixon as a successor, professional politicians in both parties agree that he is not electable. Dr. Anderson continued. *
Nixon's chances seem slim because in 1952 and 1954 he was delegated Ihe somewhat thankless task of discrediting the opposition.
At this time, neither the independent voters or the "wavering Democrats” would vote for him. “However,” said Anderson, "there is plenty of time for a proper build-up by next summer if conditions change."
Harold Stassen has recently been elevated to cabinet rank in his new position of Secretary of Disarmament. Though identified with the Eisenhower wing of the parly, his chief liability may l>e that "as a dark horse on several occasions he has Incurred the enmity of some of Ihe more influ-j ential professional politicians in i his party,” Anderson explained.

Nixon Assumes President's Job During Illness
by t'nllwi l*re»s
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26—Vice President Richard M. Nixon, assuming informal executive duties in President Eisenhower's absence, today called members of the cabinet and National Security Council to “routine” meetings later this week.
Nixon issued the call after meeting at (lie White House with other top administration officials to work out plans for running the government during Mr. Eisenhower's absence. He promised “business as usual” |>onding the President's recovery from a heart attack.
Nixon, who said the meeting was "mutually arranged," conferred with Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams, Acting Attorney General William P. Rogers, MaJ. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, Deputy Presidential assistant, and Gerald Morgan, presidential aide.
Cabinet Meet*
Immediately after the two-hour conference the White House announced on Nixon's behalf that he would meet with the Eisenhower cabinet on Friday and preside at a previously-scheduled meeting of the National Security Council on Thursday.
The Vice President stated that the subjects on the agenda for these meetings were of a normal loutine nature," thp White House said.
Attorney General Herbert Brownell. Jr., who is not a regular member, will attend the security council meeting to discuss constitutional problems involved in possibility delegating to Nixon certain executive powers which Mr. Eisenhower may not be able to handle.
double the pressure to prevent bis running because of his hearl attack.”
Unsolved Question
Even if the president does not try for the nomination, the question of his Inability to serve out his term Is still unsolved, according to Dr. Anderson.
Problems arise in setting up criteria for what constitutes disability, in deciding which group of medical experts shall determine disability, and in choosing someone or some group to take over the President's responsibilities, Dr. Anderson said.
The political scientist explained that the 1947 presidential succession act covers four areas of disability Ineligibility after being elected due to problems of ago or birth outsine the U.S., resignation from office, death in office, and impeachment.
Says Nothing
"Rut Ihe act says nothing about what would happen if a person becomes disabled in office,” he said. "The omission is a loophole that should be plugged up to correct the inexcusable status of the act.”
Dr. Anderson suggested the omission could be plugged by amending thp constitution amending the 1947 act, or by passing another law.
"Jhe new law should define when • president is to be called incapacitated and should provide for a group of experts to determine whether a president is unable to perform his duties," he said.
Free From Polities
Dr. Anderson emphasized that the experts express a medical opinion and be free from political pressures. He suggested that the surgeon general and leading specialists comprise the group of medical experts.
The law should also name Ihe person or group who would assume the president's duties while lies disabled, he said. "It could lie either the vice president or some Cabinet members, Secretaries of Stale, Treasury, and Defense."
The question of Ihe president's disability in office has come up twice before In fairly recent limes, Dr. Anderson said He pointed out that in 1881 Piesldent Garfield was shot and was incapacitated hefore he died a few months later. President Wilson was also disabled before he died i result of losing thp fight to get the U.S. to join the League of Nations.

Hy United l*rcM
DENVER, Sept. 26 — President Eisenhower's chances o feomplele recovery from his heart attack are "reasonably good.” Unless unforeseen complications come up, there is no physical reason be can’t run for a second term. He prrobably feels well enough today to want to play golf.
That was the gist today of an exhaustive summary by perhaps the world's foremost heart specialist of the President's condition, his chances of recovery, and how bis heart attack may aflect his fulure activity. It was made by Dr. Paul Dudley White of Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston.
Dr. While, a small, neat man with a gray mustache and wearing a gray suit, met about' 50 newsmen in the press conference room—normally a briefing room— al the temporary white house at Lowry Air Force Base.
Always Danger Dr. While said there is always Ihe danger of complications although there is no sign of any now and no reason to expect any —and he gave these additional points of progress in the Presidents condition;
He Is coming out from under his oxygen tent for Intervals today. A slight temperature has sulisided. His morale is good. He has been given a little sedative to make him sleep at night, but may not need much more.
As to recovery. Dr. White said, Mr. Eisenhower will have to stay in the hospital two weeks and he should stay a month, If his progress continues to be good, however, he can, after three weeks, lie flown to Washington to convalesce.
Rest at iKarm
But Dr. White would rather the President convalesos at his faim near Gettysburg, Pa. "About tha second week" he should lie abla to read documents and confer quietly with Secretary of Stata John Foster Dulles and other government officials.
A 10:10 a.m. MST bulletin on the President's condition, issued after Dr. While saw him at Fits-simons Army Hospital, said:
"The President's condition continues lo Ii* satisfactory without complications.
The President bad a slight fever late yesterday afternoon, at usual is such cases, but his temperature is normal this morning. The oxygen tent will be omitted at intervals today.
Doctor Elaborated Dr. While elaborated upon parts of the morning bulletin as he sat at two tables pushed together in the press conference room, with Maj. Gen. Howard MCC Snyder, the President's personal physician, on his left, and White House Press Secretary Janies C. Ilagerty on his right.
Dr. While said the outlook in Ihe President’s case was good enough for him to return at onue to Boston. 11c had arrived in a special military air transport service plane yesterday. The plane waited for him today as he held his news conference and took off as soon as it was over.
