Description

"If the Republican Party is to establish itself as a dominant influence in American life, it must develop a philosophy of government"

TLS as president, signed “D. E.,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, November 16, 1956. Letter to industrialist and philanthropist Spencer T. Olin, in part: "I deeply appreciate your note of felicitations on the result of the national election. The Missouri result did puzzle me somewhat, and I am glad to know that such friends as you are undertaking the reorganization of the finance program. As you know, I am convinced that the total job is far-reaching. If the Republican Party is to establish itself as a dominant influence in American life, it must develop a philosophy of government (which I have called, for want of a title, 'Modern Republicanism') and it must convince all America that it does live and act by this philosophy. Of course it must also organize itself far better than it has in the past, on the precinct, district and county levels. I hope very much that you will actively help in what must be done." In fine condition. A fantastic letter on the necessity for clarity in the values of the modern Republican Party.
