 Group No. 1-Is for Taft. They believe the COP should come out on strong, out-and-Out conserv- ative platform, not be afraid to buck labor and not worry about isolation. They are critical of Dew ey because he was too new dealish, are convinced strong conservative can win.
 Group No. 2-Is for Eisenhower. This group is led by Tom Watson, head of International Business Machines, and various New York bigwigs. They think the party needs a strong, new name, even if one connected with the military that Ike has kept out of politics, has made few enemies, would sweep the nation.
 Group No. 3-Is for Governor Warren of California or Governor Duff of Pennsylvania. These are progressive leaders who point out that the COP cannot win without labor, and that the big mistake they always make is to figure the Democrats so weak that the COP can win with chinaman."
