| Description: | GOP Convention: MacArthur Keynoter At Republican Meet "Taft and Eisenhower arrive on the scene for the final phase of one of the hottest political battles in history. At stake-the GOP Presidential Nomination. Delegates crowd convention hall for stirring keynote address by General Douglas Macarthur." Nice view of Chicago buildings, summer, parkland in foreground. Small banner reads: Chicago Greets You - image of republican elephant in silhouette. Various supporters include little girl riding a real elephant. Many supporters wear "I Like Ike" buttons, but one man carries a handmade sign that reads, "I Like Bob Better." Rear view of women who wear skirts proclaiming, "Win With Ike for President" - weird! General Dwight and Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower arrive. Harold Stassen, another candidate, parades down with political supporters holding signs. Governor Earl Warren also attends with supporters. Senator Robert Taft is seen as well as Herbert Hoover. Woman tries to lead in Francis the Talking Mule. Excerpt of speech (natural sound) given by Gen. Douglas Macarthur, who voices his support for the Republican party. He speaks of the country regaining spiritual and temporal strength. Mac also says, "I speak with a sense of pride that all of my long life, I have been a member of the Republican Party." (Cheers.) He invokes the memory of Abraham Lincoln. | |
