the party swung to Dewey merely
as convention accident.
Fact is, however, that Gov.
James III. Duff of the Keystone
state, leader of the liberal
branch of Pennsylvania COP
and titular leader of his party,
feels he was given "double-
cross" and took a licking at the
hands of the notorious "Grundy
machine" which for years
dominated state politics as a
high-tariff, reactionary, stand
pat leader of the old Mckinley
Harding era of Republican pol
itics.
And the fact that in ousting Car
roll Reece of Kentucky as COP
national chairman in favor of a
httle-known congressman from a
Philadelphia silk-stocking district
Dewey left himself open to charges
of deal does not help the sit
uation insofar as the liberal ele-
ment of the party is concerned.
The new national chairman, Con-
gresham Hugh d. Scott Jr., has
reactionary vote record in con-
gress. He is member of Philadel-
phia's Union league and all the
right clubs and fraternities includ-
ing the Philadelphia Cricket club.
The prediction is made open
ly here that Sen. Edward Mar
tin. who withdrew as favorite
son candidate and nominated
Dewey, will be in Dewey's cab
