C-span is showing Eisenhower’s acceptance speech at the 1956 Republican convention. I doubt any sentiments like these will be delivered from this year’s GOP podium:

“…We must see, as we do our civic duty, that not only do we vote but that everybody is qualified to vote, that everybody registers and everybody goes to the polls in November. Here is a task not only for the Republican National Committee, for the women’s organizations, for the citizens’ organizations, for the so-called Youth for Eisenhower—everybody that bears this message in his heart must carry it to the country.

In that way we will win.

And which reminds me, my friends, there are only a few days left for registering in a number of our States. That is one thing you cannot defer. The records show that our registration as compared to former years at this time is way down across the land—registration across the board. Let’s help the American Heritage, let’s help the Boy Scouts, let’s help everybody to get people out to register to vote.”

“There can be no enduring peace for any nation while other nations suffer privation, oppression, and a sense of injustice and despair. In our modern world, it is madness to suppose that there could be an island of tranquillity and prosperity in a sea of wretchedness and frustration.”
