DEPUBLICANS we're jubilant over
IN the 1948 ticket which they will
present to the electorate during the
coming campaign 80. Governor
Thomas L. Dewey, of New York and
Governor Earl Warren, of Califor-
mia.
While the national convention
broke q COP precedent in renom-
mating a loser in a previous cam
paign for the presidency, they claim
that Gov. Dewey has seasoned him
self with the voters and that the
addition Of Governor Warren to the
ticket will solidify the west for the
COP this fall. The Warren candi-
dacy, they say, will heal the wounds
opened in the Both Congress by the
cuts in reclamation projects so vital
to western state prosperity.
Speculation is rife on what will
be the role of the young, dynamic
Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, who
had campaigned for the nomination
for more than two years and who
played such an important role in
attempting to liberalize the party
and attract to it's banner the young
voters of the country.
A sidelight of how some of the
more liberal leaders in the party felt
about Stassen was the scene enacted
on the stage of the convention hall
Senator Wayne Morse, of Oregon,
a constant attendant at every ses-
sion, walked over to Stassen after
the latter had made his withdrawal
in favor of Governor. Dewey.
Said Senator Morse: you have
done a great job for the party and
I am proud of you" Senator Morse
has been constantly predicting in
the senate that the Republican
party, my party" will eventually
become the party of liberalism in
the nation. He, however, has thus
far had little success in the senate.
Governor Dewey. won the nomi-
nation handily by the old and well

headdresses tackled all about the
room. The children's names
written on them read like a
school roll call.
Before school closed for the
summer vacation, nimble finger

encourage use of the children's
library and to help them keep
up on their reading during the
summer. The plan has really
gone over with a bang.
About twenty children were
there when l recently paid the
library a visit. They turned in
their books, hunted up their
headdress lin hopes it would
be where they had last pinned
it, and gave it to one of the
Librarians, who pasted on one
feather for each two books
read.
When the headdresses are
completed the boys will be
called "Chief Read-um-Much"
and the girls will be named
princess Read-um-Many!"
