brought about under the Dawson re-
gime. The Governors interview set
ties beyond question of which the
party organization stands on the GU
bernatorial succession. 1t is virtual
ly a call to arms for all organization
men, a sounding of the trumpet that
means rallying of the tax reform
hosts to the Swisher standard. 1t
means, in short, that more than any
thing else that has been said or done,
the probable nomination of Swisher
as the party leader in the important
campaign that is to follow.
