Eisenhower, the Republican Party nominee for the office of President of the United States, was scheduled to give a speech in Cleveland, Ohio. That speech was preempted, however, by Richard M. Nixon's Checkers Speech. Instead of delivering his prepared speech, Eisenhower presented his reaction to Nixon's defense of his finances. Nevertheless, the text of Ike's unspoken speech was published in the Washington Post and New York Times ( https://www.nytimes.com/1952/10/23/archives/text-of-speech-by-general-eisenhower-denouncing-false-prosperity.html ). Its theme was to have been "Prosperity without War." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
