This article discusses several political issues. By making it "absolutely" clear that he wants U.S. Vice President Richard M. Nixon as his running mate, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower has presented Democrats with an issue. Until it was clear that Nixon would be on the ticket, the question of the President's health remained only half-an-issue. Thus in finally accepting Nixon, the President and his closest advisors have been forced to acknowledge the power of the right wing which, as the closing scenes of this session of Congress have demonstrated, is still the dominant element in the party.
