Tuesday. There Mr.. Stassen, In
anything but 4 chubby manner, has
challenged him. Mr.. Stassen was
careful to pick the II districts
in which he would oppose Taft dele
gates to the Republican National
Convention. All Of them lie in or
contain industrial centers. The
strategy, OF course, on the part of
Stassen is to pick up as many anti
Taft labor votes as possible in these
industrial areas.
Must Do Well in Home State
Indeed, Senator Taft with his
ability, his rugged courage and
frankness, makes q strong appeal
to many Republicans who regard
Stassen and Dewey as too friendly
to the New Deal. They would be
glad to vote for him were it not
for that lurking fear he might be
defeated If nominated.
1t is OF tremendous Importance
to the Taft candidacy, therefore,
that the Senator make q good show
ing in his own State. This means
that he lose not more than four
delegates to Stassen. Even four out
of the total So would be something
Of blow. But II he should lose a
dozen delegates his chances would
be virtually nil for the nomination.
So Senator Taft has spent the last
two weeks campaigning day and
night in the districts where Stassen
delegates are entered. He has the
able assistance of the other half
of the Taft team-Martha Taft, his
wife. Mrs. Taft has much of the
political savvy which the Senator
lacks. She also carries a wallop
in her political speaking. To-
gether, the Tafts have carried Ohio
before. First. in 1888 to win Taft
the senatorial nomination against
prime political favorite, and Sec
ond, the same year, to win the elec-
ton against Senator Buckley, New
Deal favorite of the late Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
In that election campaign, Sena-
tor Taft staged q series of joint
debates with Senator Bulkley-on
the style of the old Lincoln Doug
las debates-in parts of the State.
With his sledge hammer oratory and
his grasp Of the facts" Senator
Taft won. He is not pulling his
punches now that he is running
against q Republicsn-Stassen.
No matter what the outcome of
the Ohio primary-Senator Taft Is
always sure of 80 delegates there
the Ohioans will not pull out Of
the presidential race. He will have
considerable support among the
delegates from the States of the
South. He is looked upon with
favor by delegates from Illinois,
Colorado and a number of other
States in the Midwest.
