Vote Stand

dier's vote legislation was cata-
pulled into q. national ppljtlca liaaa}e
teday as President Roosevelt and
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey OF New
York, potential Republican presi-
Dental candidate, took opposing
sides on the question.
While Mr.. Roosevelt demanded a
simple federal ballot for soldiers,
Dewey in asking the New York
Legislature to enact a soldiers vote
bill condemned the proposed fed
eral ballot as a sham and blank
piece Of paper.
The compromise bill agreed
upon late Tuesday by joint SEN
ate-House conference by a vote OF
Z to 2 is expected to furnish the
vehicle for an outburst OF political
oratory in both congressional
branches.
Sen. Lucas (D) Ill, touched off
the fireworks by condemning
Dewey and declaring that his mes
sage in New York shows he had
become an avowed presidential
candidate.
This blast against the rights
OF the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines to vote in the coming cam
paign demonstrates that Mr. Dewey
fears. and naturally so. the way the
men and women in the armed SER
vices are going to vote" Lucas
said.
1T is a great tribute to the uni
form federal ballot to find Gov.
Dewey opening his campaign for
the Presidency by denouncing it."
Sen. Taft (R) Ohio, leader in
the attack on the federal ballot in
tn Senate. expressed agreement,
however, with Dewey's charges.
I'm glad he did IT," said Taft,
when informed OF Dewey's stand.
