of recorded material— home recorded but nonetheless effective. And there are commercial recordings of past campaigns which are most valuable in helping our students prepare to follow and to understand 'Campaign-1960." Let's start with some faraway background material that can be useful. The changing nature of the political scene and of political expression can perhaps be best demonstrated by showing an old time orator and comparing his techniques and presentation with some more recent speakers. There is the famous "Cross of Gold" speech which was delivered by William Jennings Bryan back in 1896. This was delivered during the Democratic convention of 1896 in Chicago. William Jennings Bryan, "the boy orator of the Platte," made of this famous speech a campaign issue, and as a result of his presentation he became the candidate for president. This speech is read by Ed Begley as part of the album Great American Speeches (Caedmon TC 2016). Also in this album are such other campaign and inaugural addresses as "Washington's First Inaugural Address" (read by Ed Begley), "Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural Address" (read by Melvyn Douglas), and Carl Sandburg reading both the "House Divided" and "Cooper Union" speeches delivered originally by Abraham Lincoln. The series I Can Hear It Now can be u.sed effectively to summarize some of the more recent presidential campaigns. Volume III of this series (covering the years 1919-1932) includes such choice items as Daugherty's "smoke filled room" prediction (could it happen in 1960?) as well as the voices of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt and Al Smith. Volume I (1933-1945) brings the voices of Roo.sevelt, Landon, Willkie and Dewey to the attention of the student. Volume I continued the chronicle with the years following the close of World War II summarizing the major conventions of 1948 and the Dewey-Truman campaigns of that year. These records are produced by Columbia and are numbered ML 4340, ML 4095 and ML 4261 respectively. Other recordings worthy of consideration are Mr. President — FDR To Eisenhower (RCA Victor LM 1753) and Veep (Folkways FS 3870). Coming to the 1956 campaign, there is a recorded history of that event titled Campaign '56 produced by Yale University. The recording presents the voices and sounds in the election of the president of the United States in 1956. Heard in addition to the major candidates, Eisenhower and Stevenson, are Kefauver, Nixon, Harriman, Stassen, Clement, Langlie, Chandler, Martin, Rayburn, Hoover, Truman, Kennedy and Eleanor Roosevelt. Campaign Fifty-Six recalls for the student and the listener the primary fights, the excitement of the two national conventions, the intensity of the hard fought national campaign, and finally the long awaited night when the nation's choice of a president became known. It can be used most effectively to orient today's students to the events happening around them. Finally, inauguration addresses of the modern age come into focus. These are available on Franklin Delano Roosevelt1933 and 1937 (Spoken Word 115), Franklin Delano Roosevelt -1941 and 1945 and Harry S. Truman-1949 (Spoken Word 112) and Dwight David Eisenhower— 1953 and 1957 (Spoken Word 113).
