would make a campaign that would
set the country af1re.
If there Is anything to political
history, nominations haven't come

In expressing these opinions. the

so. The views expressed do not

feet my own sizing up of the man
and how he feels. They could be
all wrong. I wouldn't be the first

Eisenhower Talk Spread.
American politics has seldom seen
anything sweep across the country
as fast and as spontaneously as
talk OF Gen. Eisenhower for Presi-
dent, such as has come in the last
few weeks. The possibility of Gov.
Dewey and Senator Taft chewing
each other up in the forthcoming
Republican convention, producing a
deadlock out of which the candidate
could come, is responsible for part
Of it.
The serious problems facing the
country at home and abroad, especi-
ally the latter, naturally have led
to serious thinking as to who would
be the biggest national leader pos
sible in the cr1ticaI years immedi-
ately ahead 1t Is human for the
public to think of new names and
faces always. Probably more than
any other factor, however, is the
fact Gen. Ike has "it," in super
abundant quantities. He came out
of the war glamorous figure and he
has the personality that comes along
once in a long time that the public
generally takes to and has conf
dence in.
Because Gen. Eisenhower is
Kansan, the public naturally turns
its eyes toward Kansas and expects
Kansas friends to know exactly what
Ike Is going to do and how he feels.
Well, II the truth be told, Kansas
friends know little more about 1t
than the remainder of the country,
except they have the advantage of
knowing the background of the man
and how he thinks. And above all,
they know he isn't phony and would
not be q party to anything phony,
politically or otherwise.
Needs Fortuitous Factors.
With Gen. Eisenhower feeling the
way he does, can man be nomi-
mated without a lot of behind-the-
scenes politicat manipulations? He
can be. provided all other political
factors are fortuitous. But it has
never been done before.

1t is becoming pretty accepted
that Gen. Ike is a Republican. He

would be to put himself in politics.

Test for Senator Taft.
The swing across the country of
Senator Taft will give his probable
candidacy a test. PROFESSIONALLY
Senator Taft is confident he can
stop Gov. Dewey, but evidently
hasn't reached a decision in his own
mind as to whether he can get him
self nominated.
There's your picture. This Is no
effort to forecast what will happen
or to push Gen. Eisenhower, but an
attempt to explain and answer
the many questions being asked
about Gen. Eisenhower as SEN
timent hobs up for him all

Again it must be stressed. this is just
the writer's guess. Aside from Gen.
Ike's personality, the basic factor
behind the many expressions for
him is the feeling that he could
sweep the country, If nominated,
and the desire for a winner is
natural.
1t boils down to about this: Gen.
Eisenhower can be nominated, but if
so, 1t would have to be the first

Taft Speeding West
In Initial Tryout for
Nomination in 1913
By Gould Lincoln
cstor Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. Ex-senator
Taft Of Ohio, following confer
ences with leading Republicans
of Illinois, is speeding West to-
day for his first tryout for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton next year, several hours
ahead of the IS newspaper cor
respondents assigned to cover his
trip. Gov. Green of Illinois and
Senator Brooks both lunched
with Mr.. Taft yesterday.
When Senator Taft was asked If he
offered the Illinois Governor place
on the national ticket with him next
year, the Senator merely smiled
broadly and denied he had men
toned the subject. Gov. Green, it
is widely reported, has a great am
bition to become vice presidential
nominee of the Republicans next
year.
When he attended the Gov
errors conference in Salt Lake City
last July, he was closeted with Gov
Dewey of New York for an hour or
more, and later the Chicago Tribune
published a report that Mr.. Dewey
had not only offered the vice presi-
dental nomination to Gov. Green
but had strongly urged the Gov
ernor to join forces with him. The
report was denied emphatically by
Mr.. Dewey, however.
Lucas Returns.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, Demo-
crat, who has been metioned not
only as a running mate for President
Truman but as a likely Democratic
nominee for Governor next year,
returned to Chicago yesterday from

Lucas fatty declined to say whether
he would be candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
tits too early to talk about such
things" he said.
Senator Lucas expressed the opin-
Ion that the present high prices are
the burning issue of the day.
Something has to be done about
prices" he said. Il am not so sure it
may not be necessary to restore price
control on some basic commodities
like wheat and meat" q.
Asked If this was to be a Demo-
cratic policy, Senator Lucas replied
that it was his own personal view
and he did not know what President
Truman would propose. He said he
hoped the congressional committees
now investigating high prices would
come forward with some recon-
mendations designed to halt the up
ward flight and to bring them down.
Finds People BewiIdered.
Senator Lucas said he talked with
many since Congress had adjourned
and found them bewildered and wor-
ried about two things-prices and
the country's foreign policy.
Some of them are wondering if
OPA was not done away with too
soon." he said. He added that the
people are greatly disturbed over
