COP Ticket And Platform

COP Ticket And Platform
The views of American editors on the Re
publican ticket and platform are numerous
and quite varied. We have culled few anc
present them for the readers delectation Says
the independent Washington POST
Governor Dewey. must have much
more than youth and experience and adj
ministrative ability with which to win. He
must have policy. The platform on which
he will stand leaves many holes that he
must plug, many loose statements that he
must amplify or clarity. He must
cleanse both his own thinking and purify
his own following of any residual isolation
ism in order to sustain the faith of all for
ward-looking Republicans.
Inquirer believes the ticket especially strong,
saying:
1t is a strong ticket. The governor Of
New York and the governor of Ohio stand
ing upon sturdy party platform, form an
admirable team for the great task of free
ing the American people from the bureau
cratic bogs of the New Deal. Here,
then, is powerful combination of Republi-
can candidates dedicated to the necessity of
rescuing the government of the United
States from pcofligate, irresponsible New
Deal clique which, under the doctrine of
the indispensable man, rules the nation
through the most oppressive expensive,
and dangerous bureaucracy in American
history
Strangely enough, the Detroit Free Press
picks out a single plank in the platform to
commend above all Others We read:
Something entirely new to party plat
forms :. is the demand for unrestricted
interchange of news among nations and
and worldwide freedom of news sources.
As much as any other one thing, the colos-
sal ignorance among peoples in respect
to other lands has been a cause of war;
The need for change. :. ranks high among
the worlds basic postwar necessities
The conservative independent New York
Times, which has democratic leanings, be-
lieves:
No Other Republican candidate for the
Presidency in OUR times has had so great
an opportunity for public service as Mr..
0CWCys I1C ID LII d POo1Iloli W give LID
party leadership which will strengthen the
whole country for the ordeals that lie
ahead.
And the independent New York Herald Tri-
bune, with equally strong republican inclina-
ton, concludes:
Never has there been such unanimity
behind candidate. The delegates recognize
l., 1nctr fol ~, !,
cord as public servant and as a vote
getter. According to all the reports. Mr..
Dewey has asked for younger and more
progressive running mate. This newspaper
certainly regrets that better team was
not achieved. But we are glad to recognize
Mr.. Brickers integrity and entire fitness
for his task.
