Rejuvenoting the 6. 0. P.
Republican Young BIoods Become
The Men to Watch in Party Affairs

clearly man to be watched. BY
all accounts, he has rejuvenated the
Republican party in Minnesota and
given the State good administra-
ton.
No one was more sought out. of
course, than District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey, at 81 an active
contender for the presidency. Not
being a candidate, Gov. Stassen had
a. certain advantage; any Repubh-
can could cotton to him. The ex-
pressed views respecting Mr.. Dewey
were naturally colored by the fact
of his candidacy. All agreed that
he handled himself with remarkable
poise under the most searching kind
of scrutiny.
Another man whom nearly every
body wanted to see and appraise
was Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of
Massachusetts. One of the group of
Republicans who took over State
Houses from the Democrats in jan
uary, Gov. Saltonstall is working
to clean out mess of corruption
and ineficiency inherited from ear
lier regimes mess for which bosses
of his own as well as the Democratic
party have been to blame. He is
doing a quiet but effective Job.
Lincolnesque Ruggedness.
Gov. Saltonstall, like the Repub-
lican Governor of Rhode Island, is
a fine type of the wealthy man in
politics. He has features of a Lin
colnesque ruggedness and gives an
impression of genuine modesty.
Compared with Dewey or Stassen
he is Methuselah in age-47 years.
Any list of dynamic young men
who have come up in the Republican
party must include the name of the
Rhode Island Governor, William H.
Vanderbilt. He was not of those
who gathered in Washington at the
week end, but his name figured in
all discussions where Republicans
pointed with pride to their young
sters. Gov. Vanderbilt has put
through complete reorganization
of the Rhode Island government and
has given the State one of the strict
est civil service laws in the Union.
He is 38 years old.
It's a good thing for the country,
all this new young blood in the
management of the Republican
party, and particularly it's a good
thing for the party itself. Few will
deny that the party needed it.

Governor Of a State or some other
conner in politics.
Mostly, these young men were
Republicans, for it's the Republican
party now which is bringing on
newcomers to assault an entrenched
opposition. The Republicans in this
respect are where the Democrats
were seven years ago. With the
swing Of the pendulum, the G. o. P.
is emphasizing the Importance of a
youthful new viewpoint in the con-
duct of government, while the DEM
ocrats are talking about the virtues
of tested maturity. Anent Mr..
Dewey, for example, they are throw
ing off witticisms about baby talk"
or the casting Of diapers" into the
political ring.
One is reminded of similar cracks
from the Republicans when, for ex-
ample, William o. Douglas took his
seat on the Supreme Court at the
tender age of 40.

Kansas Governor 43.
Let's look at some of the Repub-
lican babies" since they are the
ones on whom the political spot
light is now being turned. In the
rooms to which the Kansans nat
urally gravitated before the Grid
iron dinner-those of Roy Roberts
of the Kansas City Star-a center
of attraction was young man who,
from his appearance, might have
come out of college last June. He
was Payne Rather, Republican Gov
ernor of Kansas since the first Of
the year. AS it happens, he is a
mature 43, which makes him,
think, the third youngest Governor
of State.
Gov. Rather was a reporter on
the old st. Louis Republic and
studied law at Washington Uni
versity in st. Louis. He became a
State Senator in Kansas, and last
fall, as one of William Allen Whites
boys" he licked the Democratic
Governor who had ridden in on the
Roosevelt landslide of 1896. Re-
publicans in Washington say that
he. has proved himself a first-rate
administrator.

only 80 and hence precluded from
seeking the presidency.
Stassen Man to Watch.
Gov. Stassen, youngest of the
State executives, was the object of
an intensive sizing-up by Republi-
cans of all degrees, and the verdict
was highly favorable. AS one of
the two speakers at the Gridiron

GuIdah| Best Ever
Golfers Feel, After
His Augusta Win
Sneod Beaten by Stroke
As Ralph FuIfiIIs His
Prediction Of Victory
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 3.-Every
time he steps up to the tee these
days Ralph Guldahl leaves little
less doubt that he is the super
golfer of today and possibly the best
there ever has been.
The double-open champion now
has added the Augusta National title
to his collection, after finishing Sec
ond the two previous years, and the
279 he shot at the boys this time
left them gasping like boated fish.
Though he sat around in Florida
most of the Winter getting fat while
his fellow professionals were battling
around the country week after week,
Guldahl already has won s4.l47
counting yesterdays $500. He has
won three of his last four tourna-
ments.
Guldahl Calls His Shots.
What's even more remarkable
about the great, strapping fellow
is that he calls his shots. He an
nounced before the Masters" tour
nament began last Friday that he
would win it, SO nobody was much
surprised when he shot his clinch-
ing SO late yesterday afternoon to
nose out Sammy Snead. who had
posted a fine 280 a couple of hours
before. His successive rounds were
72-68-70-69, and his total beat
by three strokes. the tournament
record, set in 1885.
A gallery of close to 10000 fol-
lowed Guldahl and Lawson Little
on the final round. When he came
to the turn. Guldahl learned Sneads
score. and knew he needed a "a on
the back nine to tie. So he shot
a 33 without apparently exerting
himself. ;
Bobby Jones finally got right and
blazed around in 70 to finish at 3O4.
He had a 80 on the last nine, and
Wood, who played with him, said
he believed if the tournament were
starting today Bobby would be
real factor.
