THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: VANITY IS THE nuiCK
5AND OF REASON.'
LYNDON B; JOHNSON HOLDS JFK ESTEEM
Lyndon B. Johnson, coming into the presidency
on the assassination death of John F. Kennedy
had Kennedy’s high esteem and confidence. From
old political foes__within the Democratic partv
they became a close working team. Johnson
tried for the presidential nomination in I960,.
When Kennedy won, Johnson accepted second
place on the Democratic ticket, accepting,
too, the Kennedy leadership he became extraori
dinarily active in behalf of the Kennedy
policies. This activity included work for the
civil rights program Kennedy laid down-some
thing tiat lessened Johnson’s popularity in
the South—and there was‘some talk this year
that Johnson might be dumped from the ticket
next year. But on Oct. 31, Kennedy x^ras asked
whether, if he ran next year, he would again
want Johnson as the vice-presidential nominee.
and whether he expected Johnson to be on the
ticket o “Yes, to both of these questions. Thajt
is correct, H Kennedy replied. Johnson is a
fromer Democratic senator from Texas, best
known for the vigorous, aggresive way he
handled the job of Democratic leader of the
Senate. VJhat direction may the Johnson
Administration take? In one ot the numerous
speeches he made in recent years—this one ir
Washington April 26—Johnson offered a broad
view of what he thought the DcS.v crats should a
attempt in next year's presidential campaign
and thereafter. He said the Democrats must
demonstrate that they are a party of action,
offering solutions for the new kinds of
problems brought about by population in
creases and concentration, and by the lengthen
ing; of life expectancy.
Johnson once said of -himself : •* I am a free
man, a United States senator, and a Democrat,
in that order. I am also a liberal, a
conservative, a Texan, a taxpayer, a rancher,
a businessman, a consumer, a parent, a voter,
and not as young as I used to be nor as old
as I expect to be—and I am all those things
in no fixed order. ,J
Arthur Edson, Associated press writer says
this of Johnson: •' There*s Johnson in the
Senate, buttonholing a colleague, talking,
cajoling, arguing, persuading. He usually
knows who? s fcr anl who 5s against him on
almost every issue, and he quickly moves
in and tries to convince those alio arc not
on his side. •' Johnson isnct the wo rid5 s
greatest speake. He is at his best when
speaking casually and humorously. Hecs at
his worst when he is reading a carefully
prepared text. •* He has been called a self
centered and considerate; a humanitarian anc.
power-hungry; a shrewd opportunist and a
political genius; tough and yet vulnerable;
vain, friendly, sensitive, flamboyance.
Friends and others who watched him on his
rise over the decades agreed that he was
just flexible enough, or human enough, to
have been all of those things at one tine
or another.
As Senate majority leader, he was all over
the political picture, but seme thought he
would have to slow down when he became Vice
president—ordinarily just a ceremonial job.
But he took on so many chores he needed three
offices from which to operate—in the
Capitol, in the new Senate office building
and in the White House. He kept 17 staffers
hopping.
As his new job as president of the United State,
he has called for a full and enthusiastic
support of Democrats everywhere for Kennedy's
foreign and domestic programs. He stated we
have new capacities and new potentials. 7e
stand at the edge of a now era of human progress
in our own country and in the world.
In this time of world crisis, we must all
support the new President Johnson with our
thoughts, patriotism, and above all our
most deepest prayers.
