he made In 1940-when he was, as
now, seeking presidential nomi-
nation.
The Republicans out here still re-
gard him as conservative but
they are giving him credit for wide
vision and a great grasp of govern
mental affairs and the issues of the
day. They are finding out that, in
his quiet and dignified way, he is q
human being, sincere, direct and
courageous enough to call a spade
a spade even if, in so doing, he may
not be polite and may be telling IN
audience what 1t does not ant to

One Big Hurdle.
There is one hurdle that Mr.. Taft
must leap if he is to get support in
this neck of the woods for the presi-
Dental nomination-a rather fixed
conviction and If he were nominated
he could not be elected; that he GER
tainly could not carry the Pacific
Coast States. -, =. s
Republican leaders here admit to
me wherever the Taft party goes
that Mr.. Taft is making a good i'm
preston with his sledge hammer, vet
logical, speeches, with his modesty
and sincerity. He never discusses
in his speeches or his press con-
ference his own candidacy, but al
ways lays the stress on the need fol
a party victory next year. He speaks
out for the Republican Congress
which he contends has been much
maligned. He extolls its record as

Taft Sets Pattern for G. O. P. Nominee
Also Is Making Strong
Bid for Republican
Nomination

Strong friends among those who
make up the Republican organiza-
ton of the State, and he was given
a cordial reception in Reno, but
they are wondering what chance he
has of the nomination, and also
how he would get along as presi-
Dental candidate in their own State.
Oregon has a presidential prefer
ential primary. The delegates to
the national conventional in all
will be bound to vote for the can
didate who wins in that primary
as long as his name is before the
convention with a chance of getting
anywhere, or until they are re-
leased by the candidate. This means
that unless Mr.. Taft enters the
primary next year, he will have no
chance for any first-ballot delegates
from oregon.
Washington for Dewey
So .far former Gov. Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota is the only
man who has given any indication
he will enter this primary. Gov
Dewey may enter, but it is ex-
tremely unlikely that Mr.. Taft will
unless there is a change of heart
in the Taft camp. There is a strong
young Republican group in Oregon
working for Mr.. Stassen. Gov
Dewey has big following holding
over from 1914. The conservative
businessmen are generally for Mr.
Taft. One of Mr.. Taft's bitter
opponents among the Senate Re.
-publicans when important issues
are up for consideration is Senator
Wayne Morse. Mr.. Morse left the
State, on his way to Europe as 8
member Of the Armed Services Com
mites, just before Mr.. Taft entered
it. Mr.. Morse was one of the few
Republicans who voted against the
aft-Hartley labor bill. He con.
tinues to denoupce it.
Idaho, Wyoming Next
Washington remains Dewey
State. The New Yorker has 6
strong following here among Re.
publicans, including former Gov
Langley, who may make a try next
year for Governor again. The
Washington delegation will bt
elected at State Republican con.
vention, and 1t is likely to be unin.
structed, but unless the top poll.
ticians here are mistaken, it will be

was warmly welcomed in Seattle
and Tacoma, is still regarded as tot

friends in the State, but the Wash.

Carries Fight to the
Democrats on His
Western Tour
By Gould Lincoln
The sser's Political Anolyst

The Ster's Political Anolyst
PORTLAND, Oreg., Sept. 27.-sen-
ator Robert A. Taft Of Ohio, in his
swing through the great States of
the West. has opened the presiden-
tial campaign year early.
Spokesmans for the Republican,
controlled Congress and the very
embodiment Of the record of that
Congress, Mr.. Taft, with the frank
ness and courage for which he has
become known, has laid down a pat
tern which the COP presidential
nominee, whoever he may be, must
almost inevitably follow.
He has tackled the Truman ad-
ministration on the all-important
issue of high prices and imitation,
seeking to lay the responsibility for
present conditions on the White
House door step. He has advanced
a Republican program for dealing
with both prices and imitation. He
has debated and explained the Taft
Hartley labor law-which President
Truman vetoed. He has challenged
the Democratic Party on the issue
of tax reduction-which President
Truman denied to the country by
his vetoes of the two Republican tax
bills in the last session. And he has
sought to interpret the Republican
attitude on foreign policy.
Testing Sentiment
The Ohio Senator has gone be-
yond attack. He has laid down
Republican programs dealing with
foreign relations and with public
welfare, and he has promised these
Western people that the COP
will be generous with their irriga-
ton needs. He has suggested that
the party will put through public
welfare program, dealing with hous-
ing. education and kindred subjects
costing 81 ,O00, 900 900 a year.
Mr.. Taft's four-week foray into
the West has, therefore, two sepa-
rate angles. First, he is carrying
the fight to the Democrats in an
effort to make certain the election
of Republican President for 1s48.
Second, he is making a strong bid
for the presidential nomination
himself.
AS he puts it, Mr.. Taft is testing
sentiment before he makes up his
mind to announce formally he will
become candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. The welcome
he has received in California, Ne
vada, Oregon and Washington leaves
no doubt in the minds Of the cor
respondents travelling with Mr.. Taft
that he will choose to rum" In
deed, most Of them have been con-
virced from the start that he Is
already a candidate, announced or
not.
The Ohio Senator has become a
definite personality to these people
Of the Far West or=tffe first time
Before he. began his trip he was
regarded as the symbol Of con-
Fservatism, and as such entirely alien
to the more progressive people Of
this section Of the country, be they
Republicans or Democrats. He has
not been in this section since visit

FORREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
2.-(R-Once more, the Davis Cup
belonged to the United States to-
day, saved by California's tennis
buddies, stubble-haired Jack Kra-
mer and shoeless Ted Schroeder,
in a Al triumph over the chal-
lengers from Australia.
1t may be long, long 1 time
before the tennis world sees an
other singles battle like the one
yesterday in which Schroeder out
lasted Dinny Pals to apply the
clincker to the five-match series.
For II games the two players
fought, with Schroeder discarding
his shoes half the time and Pals
missing several chances at victory,
before the American finally won
out, 6-3, 8-", 4-6, Gil, 1913.
1t was the longest singles match
ever played in a Davis Cup chal-
lenge round.
