Nomination

Actual climax of the convention
came when Sen. Edward Martin OF
Pennsylvania renounced his favo-
rite son candidacy and threw his
support, backed by about half the
members of Pennsylvania 73 dele
gates, to Dewey. That started the
blitzkrieg. From then on it was
Dewey and downhill all the way.
AS the crucial balloting began in
humid, steaming convention hall it
became more evident that stop
Dewey coalition had not jelled.
On the first roll call it was
Dewey 434, Taft 224, Stassen 1865.
On the second ballot Dewey had
gone up to SIS and Taft to 274,
while Stassen dropped to 149.
At that point the convention re-
cessed for three hours. a move
engineered by Taft, Stassen and
other anti-Dewey leaders to give
them time to decide whether or
not to continue the fight.
When the convention reconvened
for the third roll call the stop
Dewey drive had changed to a
nominate-Dewey stampede. Sem
John Bricker of Ohio was the first
on the rostrum to withdraw the

way when Senator Magnuson re-
vealed that the reporter asking the
question represented the SpokeS-
man-Review.
The President knows that part OF
the country and the sentiments ex-
pressed by its publications. 1t was
then that he said the Spokesman
Review and the Chicago Tribune
were ''the worst newspapers in the
country, the Tribune having the
edge" That was about as sharp a
thrust as a President ever has
launched at the press in modern
times. It was in that connection that
he also called the present congress
the worst in our history, later
amending it to second worst"
1t would have been kinder to
the rest of us if Mr.. Truman had
stuck to the specific instead Of
adopting the sweeping generaliza-
ton quoted earlier-"sOme people
in the newspaper and radio busi-
ness, ETC."
Presidents since the time of John
Quincy Adams have not been shy
about airing their views concerning
the Fourth Estate But Adams, while
not specific, at least narrowed the
field of his complaint to "eight or

DEWEY EYED
COP Convention

Out of the smoke-blurred rooms
during the recess before the third
roll call came the word: 1t was
Dewey-first again with the medi-
cine men.
From the very beginning OF the
COP convention in the sWelterlng
confines of Philadelphia's conven-
ton hall it was a simple case OF
Dewey against the field. The field
was composed OF Taft. Stassen.
Vandenberg, Warren and Mac
Arthur, plus scattering of ia
vorite sons.
Despite some frenetic jockeying
for delegates by Dewey. Taft and
Stassen over the weekend pre-
ceding the convention, the big three
of the COP started out on Mon
day with their pre-convention
alignments unchanged.
But by the time Gov. Dwight
Green of Illinois had finished with
his keynote address Monday night
it was apparent that stop-Dewey
movement was struggling to get
under way. AS it turned out that
movement never did get beyond
the struggling stage and Dewey re-
mained virtually the only one un-
affected by it.
In retrospect, the convention by
that time already had assumed an
inexorable course toward tn e
Dewey camp. Second guessers
maintained that the whole affair
oozed along as if motivated by
some fundamental and changeless
law, although that was not fully
evident until the convention could
be viewed as a finished product.
If there was a fundamental law
it was compounded from a series
of heterogeneous factors, political
and personal:
First of all there was the superbly
functioning Dewey machine, oper-
ating with almost 100 per cent ef-
ficiency to corral votes.
Secondly, the Dewey opposition
was divided. Taft and Stassen.
poles apart in their political phil
osophy within the Republican
party, could not get together. Stas-
sen flatly refused deal and Taft
kept waiting for a break that never
came. CALIFORNIA; Gov. Earl War
rem refused to have a hand in a
stop-Dewey drive, insisted he was
running for the nomination and not
just against Dewey. Vandenberg
added to the confusion by remaining
silent, noncommittal and even dis
interested.

Significance

Whether the COP convention
constructed its policy platform to
fit the candidates or nominated
the candidates to fit the platform
is, of course, an impossible ques-
ton Nevertheless, the Republicans
managed to do both.
Categorically, the platform is
sound, forward-looking one in the
light of the issues, both foreign
and domestic, to be faced.
Strongly internationalist and bi-
partisan in tone, it rejects the old
line of isolationism for isolation
ism's sake and .upholds the Euro
pean recovery program.
That foreign policy stand, har-
monizing as it does with the pre-
viously stated convictions Of Dewey
and Warren, may stand as a his
toric milestone in development Of
the Republican party.

COP Convention Hands Nomination

Warren


Selection of Gov. Earl Warren
of California as the Republican
nominee for vice-president came as
a complete shock to almost every
one, despite the fact that the choice
was a logical and reasonable one.
Warren was a surprise pick be-
cause prior to the convention he had
maintained stoutly that he could not
afford to take the vice-presidency
and would not accept the second
spot.
It was even more a departure
from the norm in that the Dewey
Warren ticket failed to- offer
grain of consolation to the old
guard and isolationist wing of the
party. Warren has strongly inter-
nationalist political views even
more so than Dewey-and has been
a consistent critic of the COP iso-
lationists.
Initial speculation as to the vice
president spot ran to Rep. Charles
Halleck of Indiana or Sen. Kenneth
Wherry of Nebraska, both Of the
conservative Republican" tradi-
ton.
But in the night-long pow-wow
that followed the Dewey nomina-
ton it was Warren who was chosen.
Dewey himself averred that he had
not influenced the choice, that the
party leaders had become convinc-
ed that the California governor was
the best bet.
Nevertheless, Dewey had had to
make certain promises in order to
get Warren for the job: The vice.

would be the stale, flat and un-
profitable post it has been. He
planned to make Warren a full
