we will be joined by senator adlai stevenson iii, the son of adlai stevenson. richard norton smith, before we leave the office, there are some things sitting around that we want to learn a little bit more about it. first of all, what is this a hand? >> stevenson said that he suffered from a bad case of hereditary politics. there are multiple to narrations of stevenson -- generations of stevensons in the story. the link in connection was a very powerful one. -- lincoln connection was a very powerful one. this is a cast of lincoln's hand. >> also on the desks is an address book. some of the names and this address book include eleanor roosevelt, jackie kennedy, john steinbeck. >> it hence -- he was a very unusual, a non-politician and a new ways. he -- in many ways. eventually, by millions of americans who proudly declared themselves stevensonians. >> standing between us is this old office chair. cabinetis stevenson's terror. he had an historic stand of the american passenger to the united nations. he was made a member of the cabinet, this is the chair that commem

i'm adlai stevenson. be better. better for whom, i wonder? do you think things can't be better for the small businessman like this one? small business profits are down 52%. that they can't be better for our farmers like these? farm income is down 25%. are your schools good enough for the richest nation in history? your schools like this one need a third of a million more classrooms. and what about you? are you now out of debt? do you have a comfortable backlog in the bank? are you paying less for the things that you buy or more? do you really think things can't be better? of course, they can. working together we can and will make them better. >> vote democratic. >> rising cost of farming? lower farm income? caught in a squeeze? then vote democratic, the party for you, not just the few. vote for adlai stevenson for president and estes kefauver for vice president. >> and we are back live at the stevenson farm in libertyville, illinois. richard norton smith and i are now joined by newton minow. you may know

in the stevenson barn is a new exhibit about adlai stevenson.ed. this is in 1945, the u.n. formation. do you remember that photograph over there around the table? you were commenting on the different players in the photograph. >> well, yeah, i do. i haven't got it in front of me, so i'm not sure. it's a remarkable group of people. you've got john foster dulles. you have, of course, governor stevenson, adlai stevenson, before the governorship. >> nelson rockefeller. >> yeah, young nelson rockefeller, harold stassen before he was a joke, when he was taken seriously as an architect of disarmament. the secretary of state at the time, ed tinnius who was about to be fired. >> what was adlai stevenson's role in the founding of the u.n.? >> do you want to take that? >> it had to do with a preparatory conference, as i understand it. >> well, he was also a delegate to the conference in san francisco. and then he was -- at which the united nations was adopted or approved. but by late 1945, we were living in london where he was the u.s. delegate to the prep

stevenson did it himself. neither man -- eisenhower, nor stevenson tsh -- was drafted. people, however, simply want to continue saying that they were drafted because they fit in to the mythology of both dwight eisenhower and adlai stevenson and the way that people want to perceive them. this, i believe, is the only picture of the two men together. it was during the transition in december of 1952. stevenson's smiling because it's over. eisenhower's smiling because it's just beginning. how, as a writer, should i write on a rout? on a massacre? eisenhower never once trailed in the polls. eisenhower scholars do this by calling it eminently predictable. it was a foregone conclusion, i liked ike and so did everybody else. it helps them to give validity to the age of eisenhower. stevenson scholars when they talk about the election, the fall campaign, they emphasize that in a losing cause, adlai stevenson raised the bar of political discourse to such a level that it didn't matter that he lost. in fact, one of the most heavily quoted quotes of the fall campaign is when nixon --

blue stevenson for stevenson. eisenhower won just about everything else -- blue states for stevenson. eisenhower won just about everything else. eisenhower made inroads into the south. again, i call your attention to virginia, tennessee, texas, and florida. he broke into the fdr coalition, the ethnic vote, polish vote, german vote went for eisenhower. and in a stunning for the moment demographic, women voted for eisenhower and abandoned the democrats. it was the middle class loosely defined living out in the suburbs and watching "leave it to beaver" that made eisenhower's victory so big. stevenson does hold together from the fdr coalition two major constituencies from the fdr coalition. the african-american vote and jewish american vote. it should not be presented that this was any kind of sweep for the republican party. when you've got only three-vote majority in the house and three in the senate, it was no aligning for the party. it was a personal victory for eisenhower. it shouldn't belittle it, but we should c

[video clip] vote stevenson, stevenson vote stevenson, but stevenson a man you can believe in son fromllinois where lincoln came, his leadership has won him name a soldier man is always bound to think in terms of battleground but stevenson civilian son, will lead us until the peace is won n ♪ clip] mr. mann: in some ways that's not so bad. in some ways stevenson was on to something. number one, that was an attack on eisenhower, wasn't it? he's saying this is a general and he only thinks in terms of the battleground. he's a civilian son. and so he's going to -- but it's an attack. it's this woman, you know, this nice woman standing there singing a nice little song, but she's sticking the little stiletto into eisenhower. if you notice, it's still something that politicians do , but back in the 1980's and early if you wanted to attack 1990's, somebody you got a , woman's voice to do it because it didn't sound so -- women don't sound as mean, i guess so you get a woman to do the attack and say it in a nice, sweet voice even though she's ripping , the person apart it doesn't , come across a

adlai stevenson ii is buried in bloomington, illinois. senator adlai stevenson iii, thank you for being with us this evening. newton minow, you as well, richard norton smith, this has been "the contenders," and we leave you with this week's "contenders" from the 1956 convention. >> i say trust the people. trust their good sense. their decency, their fortitude, their faith. trust them with the great decisions. i say it is time to take this government away from men who only know how to count and to turn it back to men and women who care. >> while congress is on break, we're showing you american had history tv, normally seen weekends here on c-span3. coming up, adlai stevenson's acceptance speech at the 1952 democratic national convention. and in about 20 minutes, a discussion on the impact of the 1952 campaign between adlai stevenson and dwight eisenhower. >> tonight, american history tv in primetime focuses on the presidential campaign of adlai stevenson. we begin with the contenders, our c-span series of candidates who didn't win. and tha

. >> the one question i think -- i would love to ask senator stevenson because as the end of his father's life it's become almost a folklore that ambassador stevenson was seri s seriously contemplating retiring from the united nations and i wonder if he ever discuss that had with his dad and what his sense is of his dad's intent. >> yes. first, you know, i think these labels, conservative and liberal can be very misleading. arthur schlesinger used to call my father conservative. what he had was integrity. when i served in the center, we weren't democrats, republicans, right, left, for the country. we were products of the enlightenment, ideology didn't play much of a role. but to -- to your point he did not tell this to me, but i did hear from a very, very, very close friend that he was planning to resign from the united nations at the end of the year largely because he was very uncomfortable advocating policies that he spend, you know, vietnam and he, of course, died of '65, july of '65 but i think he was planning ton resigning. can i etly, that would not have been his way at all but beca

edgar hoover who had a file on stevenson. so stevenson had to bring his sister, buffy ives, on to the campaign trail with him in a completely contrived and phony situation where the sister looked like she was the wife, and a lot of people thought she was the wife. that was infinitely to me more interesting than what mamie did which was essentially stay in the background on the campaign train. remember the whistle stopping and everything that happened during the campaign. mamie was often ill. she was not drunk. she was often ill on the campaign trail. and the stress really hurt her. the stress bothered her, and she was constantly in the face of eisenhower's advisers saying, you're working him too hard. what mamie wanted to happen maybe would have been a good thing. she wanted him to take two weeks off in the middle of the campaign. he was winning anyway. she wanted him to go to denver, she wanted him to come back to abilene. she didn't win that battle. by the way, there is an excellent biography of mamie eisenhower in the firs

and politicians do that and stevenson was onto something.ite right here. >> i'm excited about voting for governor stevenson for president. i think he's a new kind of man he will be a president for all the people. stevenson has told the texans and the people of louisiana and california, that skyland oil belongs if not to them alone, but to all of the people of the country. in the south, he made a strong statement -- professor mann: ok. that one is hanging up a bit. but that's just a very sort of rational appeal. here is why -- i am excited for voting. but a very mini speech. characterized the way stevenson campaign, mainly by giving speeches and appealing to people's intellect and not their emotion. and he also had this issue of his name. who is this guy? how do you say his name? ♪ it you don't have to pronounce it, just go out and vote it ♪ professor mann: that is just for kicks. i'm not really sure what that means. again, here's an interesting negative attack an eisenhower from, the bob in the spot is robert taft, the senator, the republica
