Business Principles
Vital 10 Government,
IAsserts Gov. bricker
BY the Associated Press.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 90
John w. Bricker. Republican can.
iidate for Vice President and three
times Governor of Ohio, says hi;
philosophy of Government is sim.
pie: Government must be kept
close to the people, and the cleaner
the politics the better the Govern
ment."
And the way to run Govern
ment, he says, is to organize it or
sound business principles and let
nature take its course.
That course in Ohio entailed
among other things looping of
thousands of State employees while
Ohio's financial situation rose from
a $4,000 900 deficit when he took
Office in 1899 to a SIS, 900 900 surplus
last January.
Termed Bull Headed.
Gov. Bricker is a very determined
man of SO. He is, in fact, spoken
of by his friends as often arbitrar.
and occasionally bull-headed, but
the tall, white-haired Governor
smiles and says this is not true. He
says he has an open mind until that
moment when it is made up and
then he goes forward unchangeably
Handsome, better than feet tall
and Weighing a bit over 200, Gov
Bricker has that traditional but
rare present-day background of
American politics-he was born in q
log cabin.
There has been nothing spectac-
ular about his rise from a farm in
nearby Madison County. He has,
seemingly, followed precise pattern
of endeavor, moving up with con-
stancy.
Born With Twin Sister.
The vice presidential nominee was
born with twin sister, Ella, on
September 6, 1893, to the Lemuel
Spencer Brickers near Mount Sterl-
ing in Central Ohio. He attended
township school went to high
school in Mount Sterling, and then
on to Ohio State University here
He got his bachelor of arts degree
in 1916, entered law college and
passed the State bar examination q
year later.
In college, he was catcher on the
baseball team, president of the

YMCA, president of his class and
captain OF the debating team. His
figure still is athletic and he likes
to golf and fish.
The World War interrupted his
study and he joined the Army as a
chaplain. but the war ended before
he went overseas. During his guber-
material campaigns, his opponents
charged he tried to dodge active
service by becoming a chaplain, but
Mr.. Bricker pointed to a medical
record showing he was rejected for
combat service because of slow
heart beat. He said he tried to
enlist in both the Army and the
Navy.
Returned to School.
He married Harriet Day of Ur-
bana, Ohio. and after the war fin
ished school and became city attor-
ney of Grandview Heights, a Co.
lumbus suburb. In 1928 he was
named as assistant Ohio attorney
general, but quit after four years to
resume private law practice. In

On the Other Hand
COP Did What Voters Expected 1t to Do
But Roosevelt Will Win, Says Writer

and the people here are Republi-
cans-and that is the consensus OF
what I've heard. They just do fee
that way.
1t may account in part at least
for the atmosphere of resignation
the lack of great enthusiasm, tina
has marked the big meeting. AND
it may account definitely for tn,
philosophical manner in which Mr.
Dewey's recent rivals are taking
the decision of the convention.

stop and recall what it was tina
everybody was thinking In th
months, weeks and days during
which the Willkie blitz was de
veloping. We were thinking tina
anything might happen at Phila'
delphia. Of course, some were
thinking it would be Willkie, but
tust as many were thinking it woulo
be Dewey or Taft, and so as the
convention got under way most OF
us agreed that anything could hap
pen. And that's just what die
happen.
For months preceding the present
convention the general opinion hao
been that Gov. Dewey would be
nominated. The delegates have nov
met and proved once more that the
general opinion is generally correct
As It Should Be
One after another the other con-
tenders made the attempt to cross
up public opinion and one aftel
another they gave it up. Only one
chose to make a bitter-end business
of it and he found it necessary tC
subside when he learned, first, thai
he could not win on his own and
second, that all the delegates Stub
bornly opposed to- Dewey would not
add up to a majority no matter
what name was given them to rally
around.
The net effect of it all is that the
Republican convention has chosen
for the party candidate the man the
great majority of the rank-and-file
Republicans already had chosen
Which, under our democracy, is
exactly as 1t should be.
It made for very dull conven-
ton in many respects. 1t eliminated
the electric suspense we've come to
associate with these quadrennia,
sessions. 1t eliminated the custom
ary pulling and hauling, the frenzieG
whispering of the managers anc
would-be managers, the frantic mid
night stratagems, the cheers and the
tears. Some delegates are going
home without even having heard 9
brass band and with little more to
tell their neighbors than how hot
1t was in Chicago-the weather.
That's too bad, considering how
costly and inconvenient conventions
are, but 1t is not exactly fatal. The
Republican convention has done
what the Republican voters ex-
pected it to do and the delegates
can go home with clear conscience.
They can be as philosophical about
1t as the political managers are
showing themselves to be. Any
number of the latter played with the
idea of last-minute stop-Dewey
movement, many of them partici-
pated In private conferences on the
subject, but very few were disposed
to stick their own private necks very
far out. And 50, whether they like
Dewey personally or whether they
don't, they are accepting what's
happened as something that was in
evitable and are engaging in no
vain regrets.
Secs Roosevelt Election.
The above is not what you would
call news, but maybe this is:
President Roosevelt, If he runs,
will be elected in November.
This is based on the sound
premise established at the outset
namely that what everybody ex-
poets to happen is usually what
happens.
I've talked to lots of people here

THIS signal defeat of the Ger
