[1:03] Good evening. This program rather
[1:04] specializes in what we call the small
[1:07] picture. We can't be everywhere at once,
[1:10] so on Tuesday night of last week, we
[1:12] went to Abilene, Kansas and remained
[1:14] there the next day. It's a small town.
[1:17] This is our report of Abilene.
[1:23] We had been to Abilene once before.
[1:26] This was 3rd Street, June 4th, 1952,
[1:30] when Eisenhower came home from Europe to
[1:32] begin the fight for the Republican
[1:33] nomination.
[1:35] 30,000 people and some hundreds of news
[1:37] men were there in the town once known
[1:39] for its bad men and the fact that the
[1:42] Chisholm Trail ended there.
[1:44] Reporter Ed Scott and cameraman Charlie
[1:46] Mack went back to Abilene on Tuesday of
[1:48] this week.
[1:50] Ladies and gentlemen,
[1:52] The sound truck was out all day.
[1:55] by going to the polls and casting your
[2:00] vote.
[2:01] This is a privilege we Americans have.
[2:05] Let's keep it.
[2:08] Keep Abilene, Kansas, 100%.
[2:16] The polls opened at 8:00 a.m.
[2:18] For Abilene, like the nation, it was a
[2:20] record turnout.
