[Form letter from Allan Shivers addressed to Friend - September 28, 1956]
A form letter from Allan Shivers, Austin, Texas, dated September 28, 1956. Shivers announces that he will support President Eisenhower, again, and do all he can toward his re-election advising that he enclosed a copy of his statement that was issued. He discourses on the privilege of voting and the reasons for his vote for Eisenhower over Stevenson. Enclosure includes a statement by the Governor, dated September 18, 1956. Announcement and explanation regarding his vote and support for President Eisenhower for re-election: "A brainwashing campaign is being waged against Texas voters, to convince them that the party is the most important issue -- not the candidate. This campaign is being conducted by persons who hold positions of party power and who want to strengthen and perpetuate themselves in those positions. Political parties are important, but they are a means to an end -- not the end itself."

He discusses the death of George Washington: "With you, I grieve for the loss your country has sustained in the death of your great Hero. Few are the ages that produce such characters, but we shall hope, as America is yet in her infancy, that she will produce many who will emulate him. Imagination can hardly picture one to surpass him. It is also a matter of consolation to reflect that he died in the zenith of his glory, in the possession of the noblest faculties of man to his last breath, and without experiencing any of those vicissitudes to which human nature, particularly in the high ranks of life, are so subject.
