Eisenhower, Nixon Start A "Shining Promise" Crusade
By JACK BELL
CHICAGO, (AP) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower set out Saturday on a Republican "shining promise" crusade for the presidency.
At the side of the 62-year-old General of the Army—who won the party nomination by blasting down four rivals on a single ballot—marched 39-year-old Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California.
Hand-picked by Eisenhower and his advisers for No. 2 place on the ticket, Nixon dramatized the new GOP bid for support of the nation's younger people.
The Californian, a former lieutenant commander in the Navy, completed an Army-Navy team chosen by Republicans at their 25th national convention. Nixon was unopposed for the vice presidential nomination.
Acting swiftly to organize a campaign he said will be dedicated "to the shining promise of tomorrow," Eisenhower called available GOP members of Congress into closed conference to discuss policies.
The general said he is prepared "To sweep from office an administration which has fastened on every one of us the wastefulness, the arrogance and corruption in high places, the heavy burdens and the anxieties which are the bitter fruit of a party too long in power."
The nominee promised to make a campaign in "every nook and cranny of this land."
