Missing Governors
Washington Post)

The absence from the Inaugural parade of Gov ernor Dewey of New York and Governor Warren oi California may regarded by some people as poor sporsnanship on the part of these defeated canol- dates We believe, however, that their declslon not to participate showed sound judgment For their presence among the parading hosts might well nave been signal for partisan outbreaks among the spec tators that would have marred the spirit of an es sentiallv non-partsan tribute to the newly elected head of the Government and the vice head
 On such occasions it is most fitting for Republicans
 bo are Governors of States and lesser lights to do honor to the Chief Executive. But there are lew executions to this general rule of conduct De1eateo candidates for the presidential and vice presidential office whether public officials private cltzens m evitaby become symbols of discord Ther appearance at inaugural celebrations for their successful rlVaS arouses dormant personal animosities, and recalls memories of partisan clashes
 The mingling of boos and applause that greeted tbe naradng Dixiecrat candidate for President, Gov ernor Th,lrmond of South Carolina, and President Trmans cold reception of his greeting IS prool thac this particular brand of sportsmanshlp LOT eliroh- terv) is the wrong If there had been 1ew more Thurmonds in the line of march or Ii Governor De"ey and Governor Warren had ventured to lntruoe, It ls doubtful whether Washington would have seen anu enjoyed the kind of parade that so mpresslVeiy anu bearteningly demonstrated the essential unty ol Ce American peope-a unity that triumphs over 1action' alisn, within parties and strife between parties.
