quintessence of political pro-

the industrial-financial group

There was one striking differ

limit of his ability and. Of
course, In the Senate he is q
tower Of strength.
An episode that happened be-
hind the scenes shows the high
respect in which Senator Taft
is held by his opponents. When
Senator Alexander Smith Of
New Jersey. sensing an Eisen-
hover triumph. talked with the
general on Thursday and asked
him II he would agree to placing
the Ohio senator on the ticket
with him for Vice President.
Gen. Eisenhower at once con-
CURED heartily. When this COR
respondent early Friday asked
Senator Nixon what he thought
Of the suggestion that Senator
Taft be the vice presidential
nominee. he said promptly:
THAT would be fine-it would
be all right with me-"
But at the council Of Eisen-
hover leaders and managers on
Friday afternoon the proposal
which by that time had the
backing of dozens Of Republic
can members of Congress-was
carefully considered. and it was
felt that it would be q mistake.
While restoring harmony inside
the convention. 1t might confuse
the issue before the American
people-that was the principal
point made, and there was an
awareness, too, that the Demo-
cratic stump speakers could say
the convention was attempting
to present a ticket Of opposites
and hence the country couldn't
be sure just what group had tri-
umphed In Chicago.
So Senator Nixon became the
unanimous choice Of the whole
meeting. The progressives had
won. They had revolutionized
the Republican party. They felt
is was wiser to present . ticket

sentiment of the convention.
And they did.

Thomas L. Stokes:

CHICAGO, July 14.-The Re-
publican crusade" of 1852 un-
der auspices of a political out
slider and professional soldier,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Of
fers similarities to another Re-
publican crusade" IL years ago
under the auspices Of another
political outsider-the late Wen
dell L. Willkie. a lawyer-busi-
nessman.
This is so both as to origins
and as to purpose.
AS to origins. there is a COM
mon identity in one powerful
group among promoters. That
is the financial and industrial
hegemony largely concentrated
in the East, which is interna-
tional-minded and low tariff
inclined because Of international
finance and international trade
interests that conduce to world
outlook rather than a strictly
National outlook. They contrast
with the more provincial, re-
gionally self-contained finance
and industry, high protective
tariff-minded, that rallied about
Senator Robert A. Taft this year
as In 1910 and 1948. That basic
split In the top echelon Of eco
nomic interests long has ex-
listed In the Republican Party
and explains much that hap
pens. AS to purpose, there Is
also an identity in the Eisen-
hover and Willkie "crusades." !"
This is to court support from
political independents and Dem
ocrats by presenting q glamor-
Gus figure not associated in the
public mind with professional
politicians, nor previously. in
fact. with the Republican Party.
This is to exploit what seems to
be a current antipathy toward
professional politicians that ev-
cry so often manifests itself

David Lowrence:

To put the Republican con-
vention in historical perspec-
tive, it should be noted that
Senator Taft Of Ohio was sim
cere in his predictions and was
really convinced that he would
be nominated. He made only one
miscalculationa- he underesti-
mated the psychological effect
upon the sNation which was
created by the behavior of his
lieutenants In lining up South
ern delegates.
For an examination Of the
second and most important roll
call in the convention will show
that, without the disputed dele
cations from Texas, Louisiana
and Georgia being permitted to
vote, the Eisenhower forces
mustered GOT and the Taft
forces 531. If one subtractS
California's 81, which later
went for Gov. Warren on the
first nominating ballot and
would have stayed that way II
there had been no contest on
delegates, the Eisenhower
strength would have been GOT
minus 81, or 545, and the Taft
vote would have been increased
by So from Texas, Georgia. and
Louisiana, giving him q total
of SGT votes. With such a lead,
he would have gone over the
top.
So the key to the convention
outcome is to be found entirely
in what happened about those
Southern delegates. The Eisen-
hover strategists wisely made
an issue of it and forced even
Taft delegates in many States
to go along with them lest they
be pilloried back home for con-
doning q "steal" or at least
questionable tactics in dele
gate-getting.
AS outlined in these dis
patches before the convention
assembled, the Eisenhower
managers were banking heav-
lily on the "break" and fought
for the opportunity to debate
the Southern delegate issue be-
fore the entire convention and
hence before the American peo-
