THE ST. Louis conference OF
L Republican governors APP
pears. in retrospect, TO be more
than pageantry.
II was more than stage
setting for the inauguration OF
Gov. Dewey's campaign against
President Roosevelt.
It's very occurrence continued
the process OF the reorgan-
ization of the Republican party
and the persistence in the
shift OF the center or power in
that party from old-time lead
ers. particularly senator's, 10
newer leaders. many OF whom
arc only local celebrities.
The platform OF the Repub-
lican party was written under
the influence Of senators and the
elder statesmen.
The chairman OF the resolu-
tons committee was Senator
Taft, the leader OF his party in
the Senate.
The ST Louis conference re-
vtSed, smpfifted and rcstated
that platform in series OF
statements on various subjects.
The theory is that the 26 Re-
publican governors are close 10
the people; they represent the
most testable Repu lean
strength among the voters.
The practice. however. is that
the governors must, BY the char.
acter of their office, limit their
activities 10 state and local mat
tiers: their comments on federal
and international questions arc
Of the nature obiter dicta. OF
curbstone political opinions.
THE practice further is for
Il the members OF Congress,
the representatives and sena-
tors. TO discuss and to vote
upon these federal and interna-
tional questions day by day in
the nails oil congress.
Their discussions and their
votes establish the Republican
record.
The people will note the atti-
tudes and activities of the Re-
publican party by their votes.
Senators Vandenberg and
Taft can do more 10 establish
the position OF the Republican
party than all the governors
put together, because it is the
votes they lead in the Senate
that makes the books.
And Gov. Dewey must abide
by their votes. II he denounccs
their actions. the New Dealers
will hop upon such denuncia-
tions as examples of his in
ability TO work with Congress,
even with his own party in
Congress. They will make cam
paign capital out OF that. II
he goes one way and the Re-
publicans in Congress go an
other way, the country will re-
gard il as a prcview OF another
White House-Capitol Hill free
for-all.
No matter what his wishes
