Politics

Is true in Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vania, for example.
In New York. it has been pro-
posed by the new Republican State
chairman, Edwin Jackie, that a
meeting of the delegates to the
national convention be held in ad-
vance of the convention to elect
the members of the National Com
mittee-which usually is done at
the convention. In this case, how
ever, the plan has been to sub
stitute strong supporter of District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey for
Kenneth L. Simpson, the present
national committeeman from New
York, who is opposed to the nomin-
alton of Mr.. Dewey.
Independent Move.
Chairman Hamilton's plan to have
delegation meetings to pick men,
bers of the Resolutions Committee
has nothing whatever to do with the
Deweyites' effort to sink Mr.. Simp-
son. However, if Mr.. Jackie calls
the delegation together to act on
the members of the National Com
mittee, the meeting will be IN a
position also to select its members
of the Resolutions Committee OF
the national convention.
The States from whose repre-
sentatives in the National Com
mittee or State chairmen Mr.. Ham,
ilton had heard up to last night are
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut
Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Nebraska
New Jersey, New York. North Caro-
lima, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, Tennessee
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
Former Gov. ALI M. Landon OF
Kansas and Col. Frank Knox OF
Illinois, presidential and vice presi-
dental candidates in 1886, have
favored a meeting of presumptive
members Of the Resolutions Com
mittee in advance of the opening
of the national convention. Indeed
Col. Knox was in Washington II
days ago, discussing plans for such
a meeting with congressional
leaders.
Would Discuss Candidates.
The Landon-Knox suggestion
however, is understood to have gone
even beyond the national platform
and to reach into the realm ol
candidates, on the theory that party
leaders should give the question Of
presidential and vice presidential
nominees serious consideration, ir
view of all the conditions existing
in America and abroad at the time
or just before the opening of tn.
convention.
