Clean-Campaign Intentions

**ADE CLEAR when White House Press Secretary
a 1"dl*na Senator Honker Capehart let out more

prewdantial candidate Adlai Stevenson.

Democratic National Chairman Paul .Sutler demanded Hagerty
sign a fair campaign practices code.

Of State Dulles liberation policy as "pure nonsense," was issued by
tne Republican National Committee. It originated there

a
POLITICAL OBSERVERS recognize that the needling technique
is tne source of most dirty campaigning.
Democratic Chairman Butler has one of the sharpest political
needles in the business. When he jabs, it's usually at a sensitive
spot in the elephant's hide. The reaction is usually a loud Repub-
lican "Ouch'.*'
Adlai Stevenson does it with a little more finesse and humor.
Ex-President Harry Truman uses the clobber method. .
To a lesser degree, so does Vic? President Richard M. Nixon.
GOP Public Relations Director L. Richard Guylay showed a
.•ertain skill in his needling with his recent campaign to change
the "Democratic" party to "Democrat" party, without the final "ic."
LAST MAY Butler and Hall met with Mayor Charles P. Taft
of Cincinnati, this year's chairman of the Fair Campaign Practices
Committee. The two party chairmen publicly signed a pledge to
conduct their campaigns according to basic principles of decency,
tonesty and fair play.
Even while they were signing, Butler and Hall began to needle
each other. The pledge seemed a hopeless gesture.
But Mayor Taft observed that it wasn't hopeless. "George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln were called worse things than
President Eisenhower and Mr. Stevenson," he said.
'•We're not going to accomplish all we want to in cleaning up
this campaign, but it will be better than nothing."
The committee has its <vorfc cut out. The mud Is lying, end the
fall-out is apparently going to get worse as the campaign goes on.

She identified herself as sec re

wlf and asked whether she inten-
ded to take the flag into the
courtroom.
'We can't have any kind of de-
monstration in the courtroom or

said. "It would be better if you
would find some place to park it."
She said she was looking for a
place to le.ave it and Banks took
her to the district clerk's office
where she dropped it in a corner.
"We're all proud of it, but it's a
little inflammatory," Banks said.
She asked whether it was all
right to wear the lapel flags and
he said. "Certainly, we're not try-
