Scenes of wild enthusiasm marked the appearance of the President and the Vice-President (Mr Richard Nixon) at the convention hall last night when they delivered their formal speeches accepting nomination for a second term. Mr Eisenhower pledged himself to seek “peace for all time’’ and a better life for all Americans.

Mr Nixon established himself as the party’s chief salesman in the coming campaign, promising to carry the Administration’s ‘‘message’’ to every corner of the country. Meanwhile, their Democratic opponents. Mr Adlai Stevenson and Senator Estes Ketauver. planned a coherence at Mr Stevenson’s farm in Libertyville (Illinois) tomorrow to discuss campaign strategy.
